What is the ratio 175 to 250 written in fraction in LOWEST TERMS?

2 answers:

5 0

For 175 : 250 divide them both by 25 to get $\frac{7}{10}$ < $\frac{175}{250}$
25 goes into 175 > 7 times > 25 into 250 is 10 times! > $\frac{7}{10}$
For the second one 16 : 40 just divide the top and bottom by 8 since 8 is a common factor of both which will give us $\frac{2}{5}$ .
8 goes into 16, 2 times and 40, 5 times.

Well, factor each to find the GCF of the two numbers in a ratio, then divide by the GCF to simplify the fraction.

175 250
/ \ / \
25 7 25 10
/ \ / \ / \
5 5 5 5 5 2

So the GCF of the two numbers in the ratio is 5 * 5 = 25.

(175/250) / (25/25) = 7/10

Now we do the same with 16 and 40:

16 40
/ \ / \
4 4 10 4
/ \ / \ / \ / \
2 2 2 2 5 2 2 2

GCF = 2 * 2 * 2 = 8

(16 / 40) / (8 / 8) = 2/5

Answer:

120 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to tackle this is by getting another sheet of paper and drawing it out, then counting up the total of the sides. If you draw it, you can see that you're dealing with a rectangle; two sides of length 12 and two sides of length 8. If you don't like drawing or don't want to in this case, another way to get the answer is by knowing one vertex is at (0, 0), so the next vertex (0, 8), would create a side that's exactly 8 units long. Kind of the same, you know from (0, 0), you also have a point (12, 0), so drawing that would create a side that's 12 units long. All in all, to get the perimeter in units, you have 12 + 12 + 8 + 8 = 40.

The problem says it wants the amount of wood in centimeters needed for the perimeter. What we just found was the perimeter in generic units, so if the problem says every "grid square", or unit, is 3 centimeters long, then all you have to do is take our result 40 and multiply it by 3 to get the number of centimeters. Your perimeter in centimeters would be 120 cm.

Suppose the lengths of two sides of a right triangle are represented by 2x and 3 (x + 1), and the longest side is 17 units. Find

densk [106]

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:-

given the lengths of two sides of a right angle are represented by 2x and 3(x+1) and longest side is 17 units.

AB = 2x and BC = 3(x+1) and longest side AC= 17

by using Pythagoras theorem

$AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2$

step 2:-

The hypotenuse is longest side is AC = 17 units

(17)^2 = 4x^2 +9(X+1)^2

on simplification, we will use formula

$(a + b)^2 = a^2 +2ab+b^2$

289 = 4x^2 +9(x^2+2x+1)

$13x^2 +18x-280 = 0$

finding factors 70 X 52 = 3640

$13x^2 +70x-52x-280 = 0$

$13x^2 -52x+ 70x-280 = 0$

Taking common , we get

13x(x-4)+70(x-4)=0

x-4=0 and 13x+70=0

x=4 and $13x =-70$

x=4 and $x=\frac{-70}{13}$

we can not choose negative value so x value is 4

Final answer:- x = 4

verification:-

$AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2$

289 = 4(4)^2+9(4+1)^2

289 = 64 +9(25)

289=289

Use the given information to find the p-value. Also, use a 0.05 significance level and state the conclusion about the null hyp

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

We can assume that the statistic is $z_{calc}=0.78$

$p_v = 2* P(z>0.78) = 0.435$

So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level given $\alpha=0.05$ we have $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the true proportion of interest is not different from 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Concepts and formulas to use

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion is equal to 3/5 or not.:

Null hypothesis: $p=3/5$

Alternative hypothesis: $p \neq 3/5$

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, and the is given by:

$z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}$ (1)

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion $\hat p$ is significantly different from a hypothesized value $p_o$ .

Calculate the statistic

We can assume that the statistic is $z_{calc}=0.78$

Statistical decision

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.

The significance level provided $\alpha=0.05$ . The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.

Since is a bilateral test the p value would be:

$p_v = 2* P(z>0.78) = 0.435$
