To answer this item, we let x be the first positive integer. Then, the second would be x+1. Their reciprocals would be 1/x and 1/(x+1). Then, the equation that would best represent the scenario above is,
1/x + 1/(x+1) = 17/72
Solving the equation above,
((x+1) + x) / (x)(x+1) = 17/72
If we take the numerators of both sides of the equation,
(x+1) + x = 17
The value of x from the equation is 8 and x+1 would be 9. Thus, the answer would be 8 and 9.
Answer:
x=10
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find x
The height meets the base at a right angle
The base is bisected ( cut in half) so the base is 6 the height is 8
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
6^2 + 8^2 = x^2
36+64 = x^2
100 = x^2
Taking the square root of each side
sqrt(100) = sqrt(x^2)
10 = x
Answer:
a = 
b = 12
c = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangles are right triangles with 60 and 45 degree angles, their side lengths follow special triangles.
A 45-45-90 right triangle has side lengths 
.
A 30-60-90 right triangle has side lengths 
.
Starting with the top triangle which has a 60 degree angle, its side length 6 corresponds to a side length of 1 in the special triangle. It is 6 times bigger so its remaining sides will be 6 times bigger too.
Side a corresponds to side length 
. Therefore, 
.
Side b corresponds to side length 2, b = 2*6 = 12.
The bottom triangle has a 45 degree angle, its side length b= 12 corresponds to 
. This means was multiplied by 
. This means that side c is 
.
!5% is equivalent to 15 parts over the whole 100 part. It is written in proportions as 15/100.
Similarly, you need to find how many parts in 80 are equivalent to 15%or 15/100. So, just equate both equation with x as an unknown.
x/80 = 15/100
x = (15/100)*80
x = 12
Thus, the 15% of 80 is 12.
Answer:
30 milk chocolates
Step-by-step explanation:
42 ÷ 7 = 6 - a fraction of the chocolates
6 x 5 = 30 - the milk chocolates (7+5 = 12 which is the whole fraction).
