Product is the same as multiplication. Basically the question is asking is 12 x 3/4 < or > than 12.

12x3/4=9, so therefore 9 is less than or < 12

Answer: the product of 12 and 3/4 is less than 12

Hello!!

So the product is when numbers or variables are multiplied together. So if we have 12 * 3/4 then that equals 12/1*3/4=(12*3)/4=36/4=9

So we can see that the product of 12*3/4 is less than 12. We can see this right from the start by noticing that to be at least 12, then 12 would have to be multiplied by at minimum 1 meaning 12*1=12 anything less than 1 would result in a lesser value than 12.

Hope this helps!! Any questions please just ask!! Thank you!!!

¿Por qué la luna no se sale de su órbita y siempre gira en torno a la tierra?

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

El período de rotación de la luna no siempre era igual a su órbita alrededor del planeta. Al igual que la gravedad de la luna afecta las mareas del océano en la Tierra, la gravedad de la Tierra afecta a la luna. Pero debido a que la luna carece de un océano, la Tierra tira de su corteza, creando un maremoto en la línea que apunta hacia la Tierra.

P, Q, and R are prime numbers such that 3P + 7Q + 15R = 102. What is Q?

77julia77 [94]

Q is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The prime numbers are: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, ......

They have two factors only 1 and itself
All the them are odd numbers except 2 is an even number
1 is not a prime number because has only one factor

∵ P, Q and R are three prime numbers

∵ 3P + 7Q + 15R = 102

- Factorize 102 into prime numbers

∵ 102 ÷ 2 = 51

∵ 51 ÷ 3 = 17

∴ The prime factorization of 102 is 2 × 3 × 17

∵ 2 , 3 , 17 are prime numbers

- Put them in the equation above to find which one is P and

which is Q and which is R

∵ R has the greatest coefficient, then put R = the smallest prime 2

∵ P has the smallest coefficient, then put P = the greatest prime 17

∴ Q = The last prime 3

- Let us check the value of the left hand side

∵ Left hand side = 3(17) + 7(3) + 15(2) = 51 + 21 + 30 = 102

∵ Right hand side = 102

∴ The prime numbers are P = 17 , Q = 3 , R = 2

Q is 3

the frame of a picture is 28 cm by 32 cm outside and is of uniform width.What is the width of the frame if 192 cm2 of the pictur

natita [175]

Answer:

The width of the frame is equal to $8\ cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-------> the width of the frame picture

we know that

$(28-2x)(32-2x)=192$

$896-56x-64x+4x^{2} =192$

$4x^{2}-120x+704=0$

Simplify

$x^{2}-30x+176=0$

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form $ax^{2} +bx+c=0$ is equal to

$x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}$

in this problem we have

$x^{2}-30x+176=0$

so

$a=1\\b=-30\\c=176$

substitute in the formula

$x=\frac{30(+/-)\sqrt{(-30)^{2}-4(1)(176)}} {2(1)}$

$x=\frac{30(+/-)\sqrt{196}} {2}$

$x=\frac{30(+/-)14} {2}$

$x=\frac{30+14} {2}=22\ cm$ ----> this solution is not logic

$x=\frac{30-14} {2}=8\ cm$

The width of the frame is equal to $8\ cm$
