If 4/5 times blank equals 2/5 what is blank

the side length of the state flag of Colorado are in the ratio of 2:3 if the flag is 12 ft long what is the height?

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

The height is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratios are just fractions. That being said, you also have part of a fraction. You know that the colorado flag is in 2:3, and 12 feet long is according to that ratio; it equals each other.

Make the equation.

$\frac{2}{3} = \frac{x}{12}$

Now isolate x (in order to solve for it)

$12 * \frac{2}{3} = \frac{x}{12}*12\\8 = x$

x= 8

The height is 8.

8/12 = 2/3 ✅

Complete Question

Steve has 54 stamps in his collection of 13 cent, 29 cent, and 45 cent stamps, totaling a value of $15.98. If the number of 13 cent stamps is doubled, the new total value of his stamp collection would be $17.80. Find the number of each type of stamp in his collection.

Answer:

a) The number of 13 cent = 14

b) The number of 29 cent = 24

c) The number of 45 cent = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told he has 54 stamps in total.

These stamps are;13 cent, 29 cent, and 45 cent stamps.

Let's

Number of 13 cent = a

Number of 29 cent = b

Number of 45 cent = c

Hence,

a + b + c = 54........... Equation 1

The total value of the 3 stamps are $15.98.

1 cent = $0.01

We have

0.13a + 0.29b + 0.45c= $15.98 ......... Equation 2

We know from the question that:

13 cent stamps is doubled, the new total value of his stamp collection would be $17.80.

Therefore

2(0.13a) + 0.29b + 0.45c = 17.8

0.26a + 0.29b + 0.45c = 17.8 ......... Equation 3

Combining Equation 2 and 3 together

0.13a + 0.29b + 0.45c= 15.98 ......... Equation 2

0.26a + 0.29b + 0.45c = 17.8 ......... Equation 3

We eliminate b and c by Subtracting Equation 3 from 3

0.13a = 1.82

a = 1.82/0.13

a = 14

a + b + c = 54........... Equation 1

Since a = 14

14 + b + c = 54

b + c = 54 - 14

b + c = 40

c = 40 - b

Substitute 40 - b for c and 14 for a is Equation 2

0.13a + 0.29b + 0.45c= 15.98 ......... Equation 2

0.13(14 ) + 0.29b + 0.45(40 - b) = 15.98

= 1.82 + 0.29b + 18 - 0.45b = 15.98

Collect like terms

1.82 + 18 - 15.98 = 0.45b - 0.29b

3.84 = 0.16b

b = 3.84/0.16

b = 24

Hence: Solving for c

a + b + c = 54........... Equation 1

14 + 24 + c = 54

38 + c = 54

c = 54 - 38

c = 16

Therefore,

The number of 13 cent = 14

The number of 29 cent = 24

The number of 45 cent = 16

the slope of a line passing through h (-2, 5) is -3/4. Which ordered pair represents a point on this line?

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope of the given points with the point (- 2, 5 )

If the slope is - $\frac{3}{4}$ then the point is on the line

Calculate slope m using the slope formula

m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (6, - 1)

m = $\frac{-1-5}{6+2}$ = $\frac{-6}{8}$ = - $\frac{3}{4}$ ← point (6, - 1) is on the line

Repeat with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 5 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 8)

m = $\frac{8-5}{2+2}$ = $\frac{3}{4}$ ← point (2, 8) is not on the line

Repeat with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 5, 1)

m = $\frac{1-5}{-5+2}$ = $\frac{-4}{-3}$ = $\frac{4}{3}$ ← point (- 5, 1) is not on the line

Repeat with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, 1)

m = $\frac{1-5}{1+2}$ = - $\frac{4}{3}$ ← point (1, 1) is not on the line

Thus the point on the line is (6, - 1 ) → A

Answer:

27.5 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

The game piece has the shape of two identical square pyramids attached at their bases. Given that the perimeters of the square bases are 80 millimeters, and the slant height of each pyramid is 17 millimeters.

Let the side length of each of the side of the base of the pyramid be b, hence:

perimeter = 4b

80 = 4b

b = 20 mm. half of the side length = b/2 = 20 / 2 = 10 mm

The slant height (l) = 17 mm, Let h be the height of one of the pyramid, hence, using Pythagoras theorem:

(b/2)² + h² = l²

17² = 10² + h²

h² = 17² - 10² = 189

h = √189

h = 13.75 mm

The length of the game piece = 2 * h = 2 * 13.75 = 27.5 mm.
