This question involves ratios.You will use them as fractions.
60:40
48:x
You will need to solve for x, so make fractions.
60/48 = 40/x
Now you'll cross multiply:
1920 = 60x
Divide both sides by 60.
1920/60 = 32.
The fire hydrant is 32 inches tall.
Answer: what question is it?
Step-by-step explanation:
The geometric mean of two numbers is the square root of their product.
sqrt{4 • 12}
sqrt{48}
sqrt{16} •sqrt{3}
4•sqrt{3}.
The geometric mean of 4 and 12 is
4•sqrt{3}.
Move the negative sign to the left
-x/5 = -20
Multiply both sides by 5
-x = -20 × 5
Simplify 20 × 5 to 100
-x = -100
Multiply both sides by -1
<em>x = 100</em>
