Answer:

Hey "Dixie" heres why: That's why you're being told to flip the second fraction. You're recognizing that dividing by a number is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal. ... Now to multiply fractions, we simply multiply the numerators to get the new numerator and multiply the denominators to get the new denominator.

Hope it helped!

ii. A machine is sold for 7,000/-. The gross loss is 20% of the cost. What are the cost and gross loss?

aleksley [76]

Given:

Selling price of a machine = 7000/-

Gross loss = 20%.

To find:

The cost and gross loss.

Solution:

Let x be the cost of machine.

According to the question,

$x-20\%\text{ of }x=7000$

$x-\dfrac{20}{100}x=7000$

$x-0.2x=7000$

$0.8x=7000$

Divide both sides by 0.8.

$x=\dfrac{7000}{0.8}$

$x=8750$

So, the cost of the machine is 8750/-.

Now,

$\text{Gross Loss}=\text{Cost}-\text{Selling price}$

$\text{Gross Loss}=8750-7000$

$\text{Gross Loss}=1750$

Therefore, the gross loss is 1750/-.

In triangle ABC, A is a right angle and M B=45°. Find BC. If you answer is not an integer, leave it in simplest radical form.

Nataly_w [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

- In a right triangle, if ∠B is 45°, then ∠C is too.

-- Since ∠B and ∠C are equal, the sides opposite them

are equal too. This is an isosceles right triangle. Its legs

are equal.

-- (The hypotenuse)² = (one leg)² + (the other leg)²

= (12-ft)² + (12-ft)²

= (144 x 2)

The hypotenuse = √(144 x 2) = 12√2 .
