Step-by-step explanation:

A=1.84 million is the 2012 daily circulation of newspaper X

B=2.26 million is the 2012 daily circulation of newspaper Y

a) The ratio of A to B

$\frac{A}{B}=\frac{1.84 million}{2.26 million}=\frac{92}{113}$

b) The ratio of B to A

$\frac{B}{A}=\frac{2.26 million}{1.84million}=\frac{113}{92}$

c) A is <em><u>81.42</u></em> percent of B.

A=1.84 million

B=2.26 million

$\frac{1.84 million}{2.26 million}\times 100=81.42\%$

Which two days had a ratio of 2:5 computers sold? Looking for brainliest.

Marianna [84]

Answer: A. Wed to Fri

We have a bunch of natural numbers and we're told a pair is in the ratio 2:5.

For natural numbers to have this ratio, the left number will be a multiple of two and the right number will be a multiple of five.

Our only option for a multiple of 5 is 15, Friday. So we have

2:5 = x:15

and x = 15*2/5 = 6

which was Wednesday's number. So we get Wed:Fri=6:15=2:5.

which of the following is equivalent to 3 sqrt 32x^3y^6 / 3 sqrt 2x^9y^2 where x is greater than or equal to 0 and y is greater

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

$\frac{\sqrt[3]{16y^4}}{x^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The options are missing; However, I'll simplify the given expression.

Given

$\frac{\sqrt[3]{32x^3y^6}}{\sqrt[3]{2x^9y^2} }$

Required

Write Equivalent Expression

To solve this expression, we'll make use of laws of indices throughout.

From laws of indices $\sqrt[n]{a} = a^{\frac{1}{n}}$

So,

$\frac{\sqrt[3]{32x^3y^6}}{\sqrt[3]{2x^9y^2} }$ gives

$\frac{(32x^3y^6)^{\frac{1}{3}}}{(2x^9y^2)^\frac{1}{3}}$

Also from laws of indices

$(ab)^n = a^nb^n$

So, the above expression can be further simplified to

$\frac{(32^\frac{1}{3}x^{3*\frac{1}{3}}y^{6*\frac{1}{3}})}{(2^\frac{1}{3}x^{9*\frac{1}{3}}y^{2*\frac{1}{3}})}$

Multiply the exponents gives

$\frac{(32^\frac{1}{3}x*y^{2})}{(2^\frac{1}{3}x^{3}*y^{\frac{2}{3}})}$

Substitute $2^5$ for 32

$\frac{(2^{5*\frac{1}{3}}x*y^{2})}{(2^\frac{1}{3}x^{3}*y^{\frac{2}{3}})}$

$\frac{(2^{\frac{5}{3}}x*y^{2})}{(2^\frac{1}{3}x^{3}*y^{\frac{2}{3}})}$

From laws of indices

$\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n}$

This law can be applied to the expression above;

$\frac{(2^{\frac{5}{3}}x*y^{2})}{(2^\frac{1}{3}x^{3}*y^{\frac{2}{3}})}$ becomes

$2^{\frac{5}{3}-\frac{1}{3}}x^{1-3}*y^{2-\frac{2}{3}}$

Solve exponents

$2^{\frac{5-1}{3}}*x^{-2}*y^{\frac{6-2}{3}}$

$2^{\frac{4}{3}}*x^{-2}*y^{\frac{4}{3}}$

From laws of indices,

$a^{-n} = \frac{1}{a^n}$ ; So,

$2^{\frac{4}{3}}*x^{-2}*y^{\frac{4}{3}}$ gives

$\frac{2^{\frac{4}{3}}*y^{\frac{4}{3}}}{x^2}$

The expression at the numerator can be combined to give

$\frac{(2y)^{\frac{4}{3}}}{x^2}$

Lastly, From laws of indices,

$a^{\frac{m}{n} = \sqrt[n]{a^m}$ ; So,

$\frac{(2y)^{\frac{4}{3}}}{x^2}$ becomes

$\frac{\sqrt[3]{(2y)}^{4}}{x^2}$

$\frac{\sqrt[3]{16y^4}}{x^2}$

Hence,

$\frac{\sqrt[3]{32x^3y^6}}{\sqrt[3]{2x^9y^2} }$ is equivalent to $\frac{\sqrt[3]{16y^4}}{x^2}$

How do you estimate 175.32 ÷ 3 =

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

≈ 58

Step-by-step explanation:

Estimation usually means you want an answer good to one or maybe two significant figures. That usually means you want to round the numbers involved to one or two significant figures.

Doing that here transforms the problem to 180/3 = 60, an answer with one significant figure.

You can improve the estimate a bit by recognizing that it is a little high (the numerator is higher than 175.32, but the denominator is the same). Since the numerator is high by about 5, the estimate is high by about 5/3 or a little less than 2. A closer estimate will be 60 - 2 = 58.

_____

The degree to which you refine the estimate will depend on the error requirements you have. Certainly an estimate of 60 is within 10% of the true value, so is "close enough" for many purposes.
