Why does it take 3 copies of 1/6 to show the same amount as 1 copy of 1/2?

You can solve this by putting the number of copies in the top part of the fraction. If you replace the one in the top part of 1/6 with 3, you get the fraction 3/6. Half of six is three and half of two is one, so both fractions are equal. You can test this be dividing the 3 in the top by 3 and the 6 in the bottom by three. Your result will be 1/2. Although there are three times ad many copies, each copy is three times as small, so it balances out.

Answer:

\huge \red { \boxed{x =  -  \frac{49}{17}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

log(3x + 1) - log(2x + 5) = 1 \\  \\ log  \: \frac{3x + 1}{2x + 5}  = log \: 10..( \because \: log \: 10 = 1) \\  \\  \frac{3x + 1}{2x + 5}  = 10 \\ \\  3x + 1 = 20x + 50 \\ 3x - 20x = 50 - 1 \\  \\  - 17x = 49 \\  \\ x =  \frac{49}{ - 17}  \\  \\  \huge \purple{ \boxed{x =  -  \frac{49}{17}}}  \\

What is the approximate perimeter of a semicircle with a radius of 9mm?
Cerrena [4.2K]
Act like it's a whole circle and find the perimeter, then divide by 2.

P = 2 * pi * r

P = 2 * 3.14 * 9

P = 56.52

Now divide by 2:

P = 28.26
