5 0

Answer:

5 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

8 ounces is half (1/2) of a pound

1/2 is equivalent to 2/4

So I added 5 1/4 and 2/4

Which gives us 5 3/4

Lines 3x-2y+7=0 and 6x+ay-18=0 is perpendicular. What is the value of a?

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf a = 9 }$

Step-by-step explanation:

Two lines are given to us which are perpendicular to each other and we need to find out the value of a . The given equations are ,

$\sf\longrightarrow 3x - 2y +7=0$

$\sf\longrightarrow 6x +ay -18 = 0$

Step 1 : Convert the equations in slope intercept form of the line .

$\sf\longrightarrow y = \dfrac{3x}{2} +\dfrac{ 7 }{2}$

and ,

$\sf\longrightarrow y = -\dfrac{6x }{a}+\dfrac{18}{a}$

Step 2: Find the slope of the lines :-

Now we know that the product of slope of two perpendicular lines is -1. Therefore , from Slope Intercept Form of the line we can say that the slope of first line is ,

$\sf\longrightarrow Slope_1 = \dfrac{3}{2}$

And the slope of the second line is ,

$\sf\longrightarrow Slope_2 =\dfrac{-6}{a}$

Step 3: Multiply the slopes :-

$\sf\longrightarrow \dfrac{3}{2}\times \dfrac{-6}{a}= -1$

Multiply ,

$\sf\longrightarrow \dfrac{-9}{a}= -1$

Multiply both sides by a ,

$\sf\longrightarrow (-1)a = -9$

Divide both sides by -1 ,

$\sf\longrightarrow \boxed{\blue{\sf a = 9 }}$

Hence the value of a is 9 .

What is the least common multiple of 8 and 10

Lynna [10]

40 is your answer. Because, you need the lowest multiple so we have to find it by making out a chart of their multiples

8, 16,24,32,40

10,20,30,40

The first same multiple they make is 40
