Answer:

7/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be x and y which are relatively prime to each other.

a/b = 5/2

So you want the ratio of

(a + b) / (a - b)

  • Take out a common factor of b
  • numerator:  b(a/b + 1)
  • denominator: b(a/b - 1)
  • Put them together
  • The b's cancel out
  • (a/b + 1) / (a/b - 1)
  • but a/b = 5/2
  • (5/2 + 1) / (5/2 - 1)
  • Numerator:  (5/2 + 2/2) = 7/2
  • Denominator: 5/2 - 2/2 = 3/2
  • numerator over denominator = 7/2 // 3/2 = 7/2 * 2/3 = 7/3

Answer: 7/3

Whats 4(d+2)-2d=3(2+d)
Dmitry [639]

Simplify:

4(d + 2) - 2d = 3(2 + d)\\4d + 8 - 2d = 6 + 3d\\d + 8 - 2d = 6\\-d + 8 = 6\\-d = -2\\d = 2

d is equal to 2.

Circle V is shown. Line segment T V is a radius with length 14 feet.
lawyer [7]

We have been given graph of circle V with radius 14 feet. We are asked to find the area of the circle V.

We will use area of circle formula to solve our given problem.

A=\pi r^2, where r represents radius of circle.

Upon substituting r=\text{14 ft} in above formula, we will get:

A=\pi(14\text{ ft})^2

A=\pi(14)^2\text{ ft}^2

A=\pi\cdot 196\text{ ft}^2

A=196\pi\text{ ft}^2

Therefore, the area of the circle V is 196\pi square feet and option 'c' is the correct choice.
