Set as a proportion
16 = 12
------------------
5x+2 24
cross multiply
12(5x+2) = 16 * 24
60x +24 = 384
60x +24-24 = 384-24
60x =360
60x/60=360/60
x =6
To figure AB plug 6 into 5x+2
5x +2
5(6) + 2
30+2
32
AB = 32
Answer:
Odd number: 13/25 (52%)
Multiples of 5: 5/25 (20%)
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 13 odd numbers between 1 and 25 so you have a 13/25 chance which is 52% (13/25 = 0.52). There are 5 multiples of 2 between 1 and 25 so you have a 5/25 chance which is 20% (5/25 = 0.2).
Answer:
The number of ways are there to paint the four buildings is 48.
Step-by-step explanation:
I) let the first building be any color. Therefore the first building can be painted with any of the 4 colors.
Therefore the first building can be colored in 4 ways.
ii) the second building can be colored in 3 ways since it cannot be colored the
same color as the first building.
iii) the third building can also be colored in 3 ways.
iv) the last building can be colored in 2 ways because it cannot be the same color as the first building or the color of the adjacent building.
Therefore the total number of ways the buildings can be colored = 4 
3 3 2 = 48.
Convert each mixed number to an improper fraction
--------------------------------------------
Convert 6&1/2 to an improper fraction
6&1/2 = (6*2+1)/2
6&1/2 = (12+1)/2
6&1/2 = 13/2
--------------------------------------------
Do the same for 9&1/4
9&1/4 = (9*4+1)/4
9&1/4 = (36+1)/4
9&1/4 = 37/4
--------------------------------------------
Now multiply the improper fractions 13/2 and 37/4. Multiply straight across
(13/2)*(37/4) = (13*37)/(2*4)
(13/2)*(37/4) = 481/8
--------------------------------------------
The last step is to use long division to find the mixed number equivalent of 481/8
Or we an say
60*8 = 480
So 60*8+1 = 480+1
which means
481/8 = (480+1)/8 = 480/8+1/8 = 60&1/8
Making the final answer to be choice C
Another way to get the answer is to convert 481/8 into a decimal to get 60.125 and then convert that back to a mixed number. You should get 60&1/8
Answer: S
Step-by-step explanation:
w + ? - s = w
w + s - s = w
w = w
