540|2\\270|2\\135|5\\.\ 27|3\\.\ \ 9|3\\.\ \ 3|3\\.\ \ 1|\\540=2\times2\times5\times3\times3\times3\\\\600|2\\300|2\\150|2\\.\ 75|3\\.\ 25|5\\.\ \ 5|5\\.\ \ 1|\\600=2\times2\times2\times3\times5\times5


\frac{540}{600}=\frac{2\times2\times5\times3\times3\times3}{2\times2\times2\times3\times5\times5}=\frac{3\times3}{2\times5}=\frac{9}{10}

First you would see the biggest common factor in between 540 and 600. Here is a trick: to know if you have a factor of 3, you add the numbers of that number, then see if it is dividable by 3. So for number 540: 5+4+0=9. 9/3=3. So 540/3= 180. and for 600: 6+0+0=6. 6/3=2. 600/3=200. Now u have 180/200. divide that by 10 and u get 18/20. and finally you divide that by 2 and you get 9/10. Now the numbers i divided 540/600 we 3, 10 and 2. Numbers 3 and two are prime factors cause u cant divide them anymore unless u get 1 or a decimal number but number 10 is not prime since you can divide that by 2 witch will give you 5. So the prime factors of 540/600 are 2, 2, 3 and 5. 9/10

A - Frequency
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When we collect a large data we may find a single entry repeated.  In these cases we prepare frequency distribution with x = the item in one column and f = the no of times it repeats i.e. frequency in other column.

Similarly for class intervals also, we write as frequency to the right side of interval column which gives no of items which fall within the class.

This process ensures compact presenting of data.

Hence we have

a)The number of observations that fall in a class

answer:   Frequency

b) The relative frequency of a class multiplied by 100

answer:   Percentage.  Because when we express probability as a percentage we get total 100

c) The ratio of the frequency of a class to the total number of observations

answer:  Relative frequency

(Relative frequency also known as probability is frequency/total entries)

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

\displaystyle x=\frac{7\pm\sqrt{37}}{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

\displaystyle x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\x=\frac{-(-7)\pm\sqrt{(-7)^2-4(3)(1)}}{2(3)}\\\\x=\frac{7\pm\sqrt{49-12}}{6}\\ \\x=\frac{7\pm\sqrt{37}}{6}

George plans to cover his circular pool for the upcoming winter season. The pool has a diameter of 20 feet and the cover extends
Verizon [17]

Answer:

Area of Pool cover: 110.25π

Length of rope: 21π

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a circle the formula is πr^2.

1. take 10.5, which is half of the diameter and multiply it by itself then multiply by pi(π). Answer is 110.25π

To find the length of the rope(circumference) the formula is 2πr.

1. Take r, which we established as 10.5 then multiply it by 2, which is 21. Then multiply by π. Answer is 21π

____________________________________________________________

If ur teacher wants you to use 3.14 as pi then these are your answers:

Area of Pool cover: 346.185, round up to 346.19 if needed

Length of rope: 65.94
