The ratio of the longer side of a rectangle to its shorter side is 4 to 3. If the shorter side of the rectangle is 21ft, what is

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

28 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let longer side of rectangle be $L$ and the shorter side be $S$ , thus we can write the ratio:

$\frac{L}{S}=\frac{4}{3}$

<em>Now putting 21 into S, we solve for L:</em>

$\frac{L}{21}=\frac{4}{3}\\3L=4*21\\3L=84\\L=\frac{84}{3}=28$

Hence, length of longer side is 28 ft.

Identify the k-value that makes the relationship shown in the table below proportional.

uysha [10]

Answer:

The value of k that makes the relationship shown in the table below proportional is $\mathbf{\frac{1}{2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The relation is proportional if $y=kx \:or\:k=\frac{y}{x}$

Putting values of x and y to find k.

For x =2 and y =1 k is: $k=\frac{y}{x}=\frac{1}{2}$

For x =4 and y =2 k is: $k=\frac{y}{x}=\frac{2}{4} =\frac{1}{2}$

For x =6 and y = 3 k is: $k=\frac{y}{x}=\frac{3}{6} =\frac{1}{2}$

For x = 8 and y = 4 k is: $k=\frac{y}{x}=\frac{4}{8} =\frac{1}{2}$

For x =10 and y = 5 k is: $k=\frac{y}{x}=\frac{5}{10} =\frac{1}{2}$

So, The value of k that makes the relationship shown in the table below proportional is $\mathbf{\frac{1}{2}}$

Which of the following is not an example of a recursive sequence?

wolverine [178]

A recursive pattern is a sequence of numbers that entails a pattern between succeeding numbers. in this case, we can see that sequence 2 has an arithmetic difference of 9, that is the proceeding terms are 40, 49, 58.. The third one has also an arithmetic difference that is increasing by 3 each. The answer then is A which has no pattern.
