10/8 = n/10

First, we need to simplify 10/8 into the lowest terms it can go down into. To do so, we need to find the greatest common factor (GCF) of both the numerator and denominator (10 and 8).

Factors of 10: 1, 2, 5, 10
Factors of 8: 1, 2, 4, 8

Looking at the listed factors above for our two numbers, we can see that the greatest common factor is 2. The GCF is 2.

Second, our next step for simplifying 10/8 down is to divide the numerator (10) and denominator (8) by our GCF we recently found which was 2.

10 \div 2 = 5 \\ 8 \div 2 = 4

We can now rewrite our fraction in the simplified form which is 5/4.

Third, our goal from the start is to get the variable (n) to one side of the problem by itself. This means we have to do everything else on the other side of the problem. We can start out by multiplying each side by 10.
\frac{5}{4} \times 10 = n

Fourth, we now need to simplify 5/4 times 10. To do this, we take the numerator and multiply it by 10. Since the numerator is 5, our problem should look like: 5 × 10. The answer is 50.
\frac{50}{4} = n

Fifth, since 50/4 can be simplified as well into lower terms. Let's do the same thing we did earlier when we simplified the earlier fraction. List the factors of the numerator (50) and denominator (4). 

Factors of 50: 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50
Factors of 4: 1, 2, 4

Out of the factors for both of the numbers, which are common? 1 and 2 are the common factors and 2 is the greatest, meaning that 2 is our GCF.

Sixth, like we did earlier as well, we now have to divide our numerator and denominator by our recently found GCF which is 2.

50 \div 2 = 25 \\ 4 \div 2 = 2

We now have our simplified fraction, which is also our answer. The simplified fraction is 25/2.

Answer in fraction form: \fbox {n = 25/2}
Answer in decimal form: \fbox {x = 12.5}

The area of a triangle is 1,4440 cm^2. The base of the triangle is 5 times the height. What is the height of the triangle?
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

h = 24 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for area of a triangle is

A = (1/2)bh     where b is the base and h is the height.

We are told that the base is 5 times the height, this translates to

b = 5h, so we can rewrite our formula to

A = (1/2)(5h)(h)  or

A = (1/2)5h²

We are given A = 1,440, so plug that in and solve for h...

1,440 = (1/2)5h²

    2,880 = 5h²    (multiply both sides by 2 to get rid of the fraction)

      576 = h²    (divide both sides by 5 to get the h value by itself)

         24 = h     (take the square root of both sides)

A 5.1-ft-tall person walks away from a 12-ft lamppost at a constant rate of 3.9 ft/sec. What is the rate that the tip of the per
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

6.78ft/sec

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, dx/dt= 3.9 ft/sec

We are looking for Dy/dt

From geometry,vof this case the relationship between x and y is needed here, there is two similar triangle that exhibited by the man and the lamb

12/y= 5.1/(y-x)

Then ,cross multiply, we have

12(y-x)=5.1y

12y-12x=5.1y

12y-5.1y=12x

6.9y=12x

y=( 12/6.9)x

Differentiating implicitly the bother sides with respect to t, we have

Dy/dt= ( 12/6.9)dx/dt

But dx/dt= 3.9 ft/sec

Then Dy/dt= ( 12/6.9)× 3.9

Dy/dt=6.78ft/sec

Hence, the rate that the tip of the person's shadow moves away from the lamppost when the person is 9 ft away from the lampost is 6.78ft/sec

How do I solve this problem
mestny [16]
Because you are solving to find the total amount and you were given that the tax is 8% you’d do $999 times 0.08 and you’d get $79.92 and then you’d add $79.92 to $999 to find the total amount charge to his card and you’d get $1078.92
