To simplify a ratio, first make into the fraction form. a:b = \frac{a}{b}

Then find the prime factors of both the numerator and denominator.

\frac{15}{37} = \frac{(3)(5)}{(1)(37)}

Now cancel out any common factors. But if there isn't any common factors, then the fraction or ratio is in its simplest formula.

And that is the case here.

And because the question wants the answer in ratio form, make the fraction back into a ratio.

So, A. 15:37 is the answer.

You are given a line that has a slope of 4 and passed through the point (3/8, 1/2). Which statements about the question of the l
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

Statement 1, 2 and 4 are true where as statement 3 is not true.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Statement 1: The y-intercept is -1</u>

<em>Point (3/8, 1/2)</em>

<em>Slope = m = 4</em>

<em>y = mx + c</em>

<em>1/2 = 4(3/8) + c</em>

<em>1/2 = 3/2 + c</em>

<em>1/2 = 3/2 + 2c/2</em>

<em>-2 = 2c</em>

<em>c = -1 </em>

This statement is true as the y-intercept is -1.

<u>Statement 2: The slope intercept equation is y= 4x - 1</u>

<em>slope = m = 4</em>

<em>y-intercept = c = -1</em>

<em>y = mx + c</em>

<em>y = 4x - 1</em>

This statement is true as the slope intercept equation is y= 4x -1

<u>Statement 3: The point slope equation is y - 3/8 = 4 (x - 1/2)</u>

<em>Point slope equation: y - y1 = m (x - x1)</em>

<em>Points: (x, y) (3/8, 1/2)</em>

<em>y1 = 1/2</em>

<em>x1 = 3/8</em>

<em>Slope = m = 4</em>

<em>y - 1/2 = 4 (x - 3/8)</em>

This statement is not true as the slope intercept equation is y - 1/2 = 4 (x - 3/8) instead of y - 3/8 = 4 (x - 1/2).

<u>Statement 4: The point (3/8, 1/2) corresponds to (x1, y1) in the point slope form of the equation</u>

This statement is true as shown in statement 3's explanation where x1 = 3/8 and y1 = 1/2

Please help! Dont get it wrong pls

Answer:

5.4 > x > 2.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of two sides is always greater than the third side

Case1 :

4.1 + 1.3 > x

5.4 > x

Case2:

4.1 + x > 1.3 or 1.3 + x > 4.1

x > 1.3 - 4.1 or x > 4.1 - 1.3

x > - 2.8 or x > 2.8

Note that it is obvious x is not -ve so neglect -2.8. x > 2.8

Hence,

5.4 > x > 2.8

Which number had a 3 with a value that is 100 times greater than the value of the 3 in 20.342?
goblinko [34]
Here the value of 3 is =3/10
Then 100 fold of 3/10=3/10*100=30
So, the number 26538,532,97436 etc. has that property.
