To solve this problem, we can set up proportion, which is two equivalent ratios. In this case, we are using the ratio of A to B to figure out the amount that B pays using our value for A. We are allowing x to represent the unknown value for the B payment. This is modeled below:

3/2 = £125/x

To simplify, we can perform cross-multiplication. This means multiplying the numerator of one fraction by the denominator of the other and setting it equal to the product of the other numerator and denominator. This is modeled below:

(125)(2) = (3)(x)

Next, we can simplify the equation by performing the multiplication on both sides of the equation.

250 = 3x

Finally, we should divide both sides by 3 to get our unknown variable x alone on the right side of the equation.

x = 83.33

Therefore, B costs £83.33.

Hope this helps!

Hello!
3 + 2 = 5
125 divided by 5 = 25
25 x 3:2 = 2
25 x 2 = 50

We have : -the high-quality version was downloaded three times as often as the
standard version => 3x=y
-standard version is 2.8 megabytes .the high-quality version is 4.6

What are the greatest common divisors of these pairs of integers?a. 3⁷. 5³. 7³,2ⁱⁱ.3⁵.5⁹b. 11.13.17, 2⁹.3⁷.5⁵.7³c. 23³ⁱ,23ⁱ⁷d. 4
KatRina [158]

Answer:

a) 3⁵5³.

b) 1

c) 23³

d) 41·43·53

e) 1

f) 1111

Step-by-step explanation:

The greatest common divisor of two integers is the product of their common powers of primes with greatest exponent.

For example, to find gcd of 2⁵3⁴5⁸ and 3⁶5²7⁹ we first identify the common powers of primes, these are powers of 3 and powers of 5. The greatest power of 3 that divides both integers is 3⁴ and the greatest power if 5 that divides both integers is 5², then the gcd is 3⁴5².

a) The greatest common prime powers of 3⁷5³7³ and 2²3⁵5⁹ are 3⁵ and 5³ so their gcd is 3⁵5³.

b) 11·13·17 and 2⁹3⁷5⁵7³ have no common prime powers so their gcd is 1

c) The only greatest common power of 23³ and 23⁷ is 23³, so 23³ is the gcd.

d) The numbers 41·43·53 and 41·43·53 are equal. They both divide themselves (and the greatest divisor of a positive integer is itself) then the gcd is 41·43·53

e) 3³5⁷ and 2²7² have no common prime divisors, so their gcd is 1.

f) 0 is divisible by any integer, in particular, 1111 divides 0 (1111·0=0). Then 1111 is the gcd

Which equation represents a circle with a center at ( -4,9) and a diameter of 10 units
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

(x + 4)² + (y - 9)² = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle in standard form is

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the centre and r is the radius

here (h, k) = (- 4, 9) and r = 10 ÷ 2 = 5, thus

(x - (- 4))² + (y - 9)² = 5², that is

(x + 4)² + (y - 9)² = 25
