I’m not understanding the answer listed on this site to the following question:

Okay, I think I understand this. Our first step is to solve how long the string is after he used some of it to tie the package. I have a feeling we have to subtract 7/8 - 1/5. Find a least common multiple (in this case, it's 40) and our new fractions are 35/40 and 8/45. Subtract:

35/40 - 8/40 = 27/40.

I don't think this can be simplified down any further as they do not have any common factors. So with that in mind, let's divide 27/40 with 5/1 (5/1 is basically 5 wholes but in fraction version)

When dividing fractions, you want to use the KCF technique (my old math teacher taught me this). Keep the first fraction the same (in this case, 27/40), change the sign from multiplication to division, and flip 5/1 to get it's reciprocal, 1/5. The equation will look like this:

27/40 * 1/5 = 27/200

So each piece is about 27/200 m in length (or 0.135 m in length).

If this is wrong, please let me know, but this is what I got out of this question. I hope this helped you :)

Find all solutions to the equation in the interval [0, 2pi). COS X = sin 2x

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

cos x=sin 2x

sin 2x-cos x=0

2 sin x cos x-cos x=0

cos x(2 sin x-1)=0

either cos x=0

$x=\frac{\pi }{2},\frac{3\pi }{2}$

2 sin x-1=0

$sin x=\frac{1}{2} =sin (\frac{\pi }{6}),sin(\pi -\frac{\pi }{6} )\\x=\frac{\pi }{6} ,\frac{5 \pi }{6}$

A license plate consists of two letters followed by two digits; for example, $MP78$. Neither the digits nor the letters may be r

alex41 [277]

If in a number plate two different alphabets need to be selected then there are 650 such number plates that can be formed in such a way that the alphabets come in increasing order.

Given that a number plate can be formed using 2 alphabets which must come in increasing order.

We are required to find the number of plates that can be formed.

Number of total alphabets=26.

The number of plates will be equal to the number of ways in which two alphabets can be arranged.

Combination is the number of ways in which some combinations can be formed. It is expressed as n $C_{r}$ =n!/r!(n-r)!

Number of license plates=26 $C_{1}$ *25 $C_{1}$

=26*25

=650 plates

Hence If in a number plate two different alphabets need to be selected then there are 650 such number plates that can be formed in such a way that the alphabets come in increasing order.
