Answer:

48.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's write a simple equation. Let x = other number, then

5/12 * x = 20

x = 20 / 5/12

x = 20 * 12 / 5

x = 4 * 12 = 48 (answer)

3 1/10- 2 5/6 in simplest form

Allushta [10]

Answer:

$\frac{4}{15}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$3 \frac{1}{10} - 2 \ \frac{5}{6}$

Convert the above mixed numbers to improper fractions through this simple approach: 3 × 10 + 1 /10 = 31/10. Similarly, 2 × 6 + 5 /6 = 17/6

$\frac{31}{10} - \frac{17}{6}$

Take the LCM of the denominators and simplify. LCM = 60. Thus, 60/10 = 6; 6 × 31 = 186. Also, 60/6 =10; 10×17 =170 all divide by 60:

$= \frac{186 - 170}{60}$

Common factors between the numerator and denominator is 4, therefore 16/4 = 4 and 60/4 = 15.

$= \frac{16}{60} = \frac{4}{15}$

Therefore the answer is 4/15 in simplest form.

W'(8, 16), X'(8, 8), Y'(16, 8)

W'X': 8 --> 4 × 2

X'Y': 8 --> 4 × 2

W'Y': sqrt[(16-8)² + (8-16)²]

sqrt(64 + 64)

What is the multiplicity of the root 2 in the equation x^3-8x^2+20x-16=0?

mote1985 [20]

Factoring the cubic you get: <span>(x - 2)^2 (x-4) , so we know the multiplicity is the amount of times a root shows in an equation because the equation (x-2) has a exponent of 2 that means the root 2 has a multiplicity of 2.</span>
