99 pencils cost \$7.74$7.74dollar sign, 7, point, 74. Which equation would help determine the cost of 666 pencils? Choose 1 answ

balu736 [363]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{A) } \dfrac{6}{x} = \dfrac{9}{\$7.74}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

9 pencils cost $7.74

6 pencils cost x

The ratios are

$\dfrac{9}{6} = \dfrac{\$7.74}{x}$

According to the alternendo property,

$\dfrac{9}{6} = \dfrac{\$7.74}{x} \Rightarrow \dfrac{9}{\$7.74} = \dfrac{6}{x}\\\\\text{The correct answer is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{ \dfrac{6}{x} = \dfrac{9}{\$7.74}}}$}$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

i). $\frac{48a^3}{6a}=\frac{6\times 8\times a\times a^2}{6a}$

$=\frac{6a}{6a}\times 8a^2$

= 8a²

ii). $\frac{72a^3b^4c^5}{8ab^2c^3}$ = $\frac{8\times 9\times a\times a^2\times b^2\times b^2\times c^2\times c^3}{8ab^2c^3}$

= $\frac{8ab^2c^3}{8ab^2c^3}\times 9a^2b^2c^2$

= 9a²b²c²

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{5+2\sqrt3}{7+4\sqrt3}\qquad\text{use}\ (a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2\\\\=\dfrac{5+2\sqrt3}{7+4\sqrt3}\cdot\dfrac{7-4\sqrt3}{7-4\sqrt3}=\dfrac{(5+2\sqrt3)(7-4\sqrt3)}{7^2-(4\sqrt3)^2}\qquad\text{use FOIL}\\\\=\dfrac{(5)(7)+(5)(-4\sqrt3)+(2\sqrt3)(7)+(2\sqrt3)(-4\sqrt3)}{49-4^2(\sqrt3)^2}\\\\=\dfrac{35-20\sqrt3+14\sqrt3-8(3)}{49-(16)(3)}=\dfrac{(35-24)+(-20\sqrt3+14\sqrt3)}{49-48}\\\\=\dfrac{11-6\sqrt3}{1}=11-6\sqrt3$
