I would give the fractions an equivalent denominator by multiplying 5/6 by 4:
(5/6)*4= 20/24

So 5/6 is equal to 20/24.

n\cdot \frac { 1 }{ 24 } =\frac { 5 }{ 6 } \\ \\ 24\cdot n\cdot \frac { 1 }{ 24 } =\frac { 5 }{ 6 } \cdot 24

\\ \\ n=\frac { 5 }{ 6 } \left( 20+4 \right) \\ \\ n=\frac { 100 }{ 6 } +\frac { 20 }{ 6 } \\ \\ n=\frac { 120 }{ 6 } \\ \\ n=20

The answer you are looking for is 20.

Estimate the solution of the system x+y=4 2x-y=6 by sketching a graph of each linear function. Then solve the system algebraical
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

(10/3, 2/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

You may find it easier to write these two equations x+y=4 2x-y=6 in a column:

x+y=4

2x-y=6

Adding these together will eliminate y:

3x = 10.  Then x = 10/3.

Substituting 10/3 for x in the first equation results in:

10/3 + y = 4

Clear fractions by multiplying all three terms by 3:

10 + 3y = 12

Then 3y = 2, and y = 2/3.

The solution is (10/3, 2/3)

Each polygon pair is similar. Find the missing side length
ohaa [14]

I'll do problem 1 to get you started.

The vertical sides are 3 and x for the left and right figures.

The horizontal sides are 15 and 60 for the left and right figures.

The corresponding sides form fractions which are equal (due to the nature of the similar polygons)

3/x = 15/60

3*60 = x*15 ... cross multiply

180 = 15x

15x = 180

x = 180/15 .... divide both sides by 15

x = 12

----------

Another way you can see this is note how the jump from 15 to 60 is "times 4", so the jump from 3 to x must also be "times 4" to keep the same proportion

3 ---> x = 3*4 = 12

Or you could set up the proportion

60/15 = x/3

4 = x/3

x/3 = 4

x = 3*4

x = 12

-----------

<h3>Final Answer: 12</h3>
