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.

raketka [301]

c. 4.6

       

21 X .22= 4.6

       

Calculating the variance requires finding the product of 21 and 22%. To make this easier we convert 22% into it's decimal form and construct the equation. To back check this answer we can use 10% of 21 voters which equals 2.1% then double that amount to reach 4.2%, knowing that we now have a close approximation of the variance we can eliminate answers a, b, and d, leaving c as the only logical choice.

The equation of the line going through (-6, 0) and (0, -3) is y = -(1/2)x - 3

The equation of the line going through (0, 3) and (-4, -5) is y = 2x + 3

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

The equation of the line going through (-6, 0) and (0, -3) is:

y - 0 = [(-3 - 0) / (0- (-6)](x - (-6))

y = -(1/2)x - 3

The equation of the line going through (0, 3) and (-4, -5) is:

y - 3 = [(-5 - 3) / (-4 - 0)](x - 0)

y = 2x + 3
