If the product of two positive fractions a and b is 15/56, find three pairs of possible values for a and b

Answer:

First possible pairs = (3/7)*(5/8) = 15/56

second possible pairs = (3/4)*(5/14) = 15/56

third possible pairs = (1/2)*(15/28) = 15/56

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question,

a x b = 15/56

three possible pairs will be as follows:

Before proceeding to make possible pairs, we have to know the prime factorization of the numbers -

15 = 1, 3, 5, 15

56 = 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28, 56

As we need three possible pairs, we have to check which pairs take us to 15/56. Again, since the fraction is positive, therefore, the fractions will be proper. Therefore, 3/2, or 5/4 will not be counted. Therefore,

First possible pairs = (3/7)*(5/8) = 15/56

second possible pairs = (3/4)*(5/14) = 15/56

third possible pairs = (1/2)*(15/28) = 15/56

fourth possible pairs = (3/8)*(5/7) = 15/56

So, we can get those four possible pairs. Among those, first 3 pairs are different. Therefore, those are possible pairs.

Mike is biking to catch up with his sister who is already 1200 yards ahead of him. If he bikes at a speed of 600 yards per minut
sashaice [31]

Answer:

8 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m represent number of minutes.

We have been given that Mike is biking to catch up with his sister who is already 1200 yards ahead of him. His sister is biking at a speed of 450 yards per minute.

So total distance covered by Mike's sister after m minutes would be 450m+1200.

Mike bikes at a speed of 600 yards per minute, so total distance covered by Mike in minutes would be 600m.

Now, we will equate both expressions to find minutes at which both distances will be equal as:

600x=450m+1200  

600x-450m=450m-450m+1200

150m=1200

\frac{150m}{150}=\frac{1200}{150}

m=8

Therefore, it will take after 8 minutes for Mike to catch his sister.
