Divide 15 in the ratio 3:2

1 answer:

7 0

One way of approaching this would be to add up 3 and 2, obtaining 5, and then multiplying 15 by 3/5:

15(3/5) = 9

Then write and solve the equation of ratios:

3 9
-- = ------
2 x

Then 3x=18, and x=6. Thus, 15 divides into 9 and 6, which has the ratio 3:2.

Let x = a + bi and y = c + di and z = f + gi

ikadub [295]

True statements:
a) x + y = y + x ⇒ commutative property of addition
b) (x * y) * z = x * (y * z) ⇒ associative property of multiplication
d) (x + y) + z = x + (y + z) ⇒ associative property of addition

False statements:
c) x - y = y - x should be: x - y = - y + x
e) (x - y) - z = x - (y - z) should be: (x - y) - z = x - (y + z)

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

Before Tim ate any of the jellybeans, here are numbers:

pineapple or p =10

raspberry or r = 10

orange or o = 10

Tim has eaten 6 orange and 4 pineapple jellybeans. Hence, what's left are:

p = 10-4 =6

o = 10-6 =4

r = 10 so now total jelly beans are 20

So the probability of getting a raspberry is:

p(r) = number of r/total

10/20 or 50%

Complete Question:

Emily and Zach have two different polynomials to multiply: Polynomial product A: (4x2 – 4x)(x2 – 4) Polynomial product B: (x2 + x – 2)(4x2 – 8x) They are trying to determine if the products of the two polynomials are the same. But they disagree about how to solve this problem.

Answer:

$A = B$
