Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of mysteries solved=x, then according to question, number of mysteries Evan solved= $\frac{7}{9}x$ , also together they solve all the mysteries, thus

$14+\frac{7}{9}x=x$

$14=x-\frac{7}{9}x$

$14=\frac{9x-7x}{9}$

$14=\frac{2x}{9}$

$2x=126$

$x=63$

Thus, total number of mysteries solved=63.

Also, total number of mysteries Evan solved= $\frac{7}{9}x= \frac{7}{9}{\times}63=49$ .

Suppose w=xy+yzw=xy+yz, where x=e2t, y=2+sin(4t)x=e2t, y=2+sin⁡(4t), and z=2+cos(5t)z=2+cos⁡(5t).

Volgvan

$w(x,y,z)=xy+yz$
$x(t)=e^{2t}$
$y(t)=2+\sin4t$
$z(t)=2+\cos5t$

$\dfrac{\mathrm dw}{\mathrm dt}=\dfrac{\partial w}{\partial x}\dfrac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm dt}+\dfrac{\partial w}{\partial y}\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}+\dfrac{\partial w}{\partial z}\dfrac{\mathrm dz}{\mathrm dt}$

$\dfrac{\mathrm dw}{\mathrm dt}=y\dfrac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm dt}+(x+z)\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}+y\dfrac{\mathrm dz}{\mathrm dt}$

$\dfrac{\mathrm dw}{\mathrm dt}=2ye^{2t}+4(x+z)\cos4t-5y\sin5t$

What ratios are equivalent to 10:16? What Apply

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

The answer is option 1 and 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, you have to find the simplest form of the ratio by dividing the common numbers :

$10:16 = \frac{10}{16} = \frac{5 \times 2}{8} = \frac{5}{8}$

Given that the simplest ratio is 5:8. Next, you have to simplify all the options given and which is equivalent to 5:8 :

Option 1,

$30 \: to \: 48 = 30:48 = \frac{30}{48} = \frac{5 \times 6}{8 \times 6} = \frac{5}{8} = 5:8 \: (correct)$

Option 2,

$25:35 = \frac{25}{35} = \frac{5 \times 5}{7 \times 5} = \frac{5}{7} = 5:7 \: (incorrect)$

Option 3,

$\frac{40}{64} = \frac{5 \times 8}{8 \times 8} = \frac{5}{8} = 5:8 \: (correct)$

Option 4,

$8:32 = \frac{8}{32} = \frac{1 \times 8}{4 \times 8} = \frac{1}{4} = 1:4\: (incorrect)$

Option 5,

$5 \: to \: 15 = \frac{5}{15} = \frac{1 \times 5}{3 \times 5} = \frac{1}{3} = 1:3 \: (incorrect)$

Darya [45]

Answer:

C, 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 24 divided by 8 is 3, which means that

8x3 = 24, then the amount of boys must be solved using the equation 6x3 which equals 18.
