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

Mathematics

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.

There are blue, red and green pencils in the box—20 pencils total. There are 6 times more green pencils than blue pencils. There
lana [24]

Answer:

You have to take 15 pens to get at least one red pencil.

Step-by-step explanation:

If there were one red and 6 green pens, there would be more red than green pens.

If there were 3 or more blue and thus 18 or more green pens, the number of pens would be over 20.

So there must be 2 blue, 12 green and thus 6 red pencils. So you have to take at least 15 pens to be sure that you got a red one.
