Answer:

  6/5 is the reciprocal of 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

The reciprocal of a number is its multiplicative inverse. That is, the product of the number and its reciprocal is 1, the multiplicative identity element.

For a fraction, the reciprocal is the fraction with numerator and denominator interchanged. That is, the reciprocal of 5/6 is 6/5.

You can check that this is the multiplicative inverse by multiplying it by 5/6:

  5/6 × 6/5 = (5×6)/(6×5) = 30/30 = 1 . . . . the multiplicative identity element

The ratio of the areas of two parallelograms is 4:9. The perimeter of the smaller parallelogram is 20 units. What is the perimet
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
With a ratio, you should think of it in terms of a pie of sorts. In this example, the pie has 13 pieces, 9 of which consist of the perimeter of the large parallelogram and 4 of which consist of the perimeter of the smaller parallelogram. If we know that those 4 pieces of pie and equal to 20 units, then we would divide 20 by 4 to find the value of a single piece. 20/4=5 so a single piece of pie has a value of 5 units. We would then multiply 9 by 5 to find the value equivalent of the 9 pieces of pie. 9(5)=45. Therefore, the perimeter of the larger parallelogram is 45.

ozzi

Answer:The height of the pharmacy area is 17 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining the area of a rectangle is expressed as

Area = length × width

The pharmacy area is rectangular. The height of the pharmacy area becomes the width of the rectangle.

The area of the pharmacy area is given as 391 ft^2

The length of the pharmacy area is given 23 feet

Therefore

23 × h = 391

h = 391/23 = 17 feet
