Write equivalent fractions for 2/7 and 5/12 using the least common denominator

Mathematics
1 answer:
earnstyle [38]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

24/84  and 35/84

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equivalent Fractions </u>

Two fractions are equivalent if they name the same number. 2/5 and 4/10 are equivalent. We can compute fractions who are equivalent to a given fraction if we multiply or divide both numerator and denominator by the same number. In the previous example, 4/10 is equivalent to 2/5 because both parts are twice the first.

We are asked to find equivalent fractions for 2/7 and 5/12 using the least common denominator. We must find the least common number between 7 and 12. Since they are relatively prime numbers, the least common factor is their product, i.e. 7*12=84.  

To find the equivalent fraction for 2/7, we multiply by 12 up and down to get 24/84

To find the equivalent fraction for 5/12, we multiply by 7 to get 35/84

Helen has 48 cubic inches of clay to make a solid square right pyramid with a base edge measuring 6 inches. Which is the slant h
Nikitich [7]

Answer: 5 inches


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Volume of clay = 48 cubic inches

If we make a solid square right pyramid with a base edge a= 6 inches.

Then its base area = a^2=6^2=36\ inches^2

we know that volume of square right pyramid=\frac{1}{3}\times\ a^2h

Therefore, volume of square right pyramid made by all of clay=\frac{1}{3}\times\ a^2h=48 cubic inches

\Rightarrow\frac{1}{3}\times\ (36)\times\ h=48\\\Rightarrow12h=48\\\Rightarrow\ h=4\ inches.....\text{[Divide 12 on both sides]}

Now, slant height l=\sqrt{(\frac{a}{2})^2+h^2}

\\\Rightarrow\ l=\sqrt{3^2+4^2}\\\Rightarrow\ l=\sqrt{9+16}\\\rightarrow\ l=\sqrt{25}\\\Rightarrow\ l=5

The slant height of the pyramid if Helen uses all the clay=5 inches

Answer:

622.27

I need to understand question 14 and 15 and the last one cut off for tens in one
sp2606 [1]

                                                 Question # 14

Given the numbers

10     11     12     13     14     15     16     17     18     19     20

Let 'x' be the number

The condition breakdown:

I am less than 20.

  • So the number 'x' must be less than 20 i.e. x < 20

I am more than 13.

  • So the number 'x' must be greater than 13 i.e. x > 13

I am less than 17.

  • So the number 'x' must be less than 17 i.e. x < 17

Finally:

I am 4 more than 12

i.e. 12+4 = 16

Thus, the number is x = 16

                                               Question # 15

Part a)

Given the numbers

10     11     12     13     14     15     16     17     18     19     20

Let 'x' be the number

The condition breakdown:

I am more than 10.

  • x > 10

I am less than 20.

  • x < 20

I am more than 12.

  • x > 12

I am less than 15.

  • x < 15

As the numbers left after all the conditions are fulfilled are 13 and 14.

  • But the last condition is, of the numbers that left, the number is greater than all the remaining numbers.

So, from the remaining number 13 and 14;

14 > 13

Thus, the number x = 14

Part b)

Please help me: Ten athletes ran two races of the same length. The scatter plot shows their times. Identify each of these statem
Lemur [1.5K]

The scatter plot has been attached

Answer:

Options C, D & E are true

Step-by-step explanation:

Option A is wrong because from the scatter plot, only four athletes were faster in the second race than in the first one.

Option B is wrong because only 1 athlete had his second race time differing from the first race time by exactly 2 seconds.

Option C is true because exactly 9 of the times for the first race were at least 16 seconds

Option D is true because there are exactly 3 athletes who had the same time in both races

Option E is true because 8 of the times for the second race were less than 17 seconds
