Answer:
z = (xy)/(x+y)
Step-by-step explanation:
Taking logarithms base 10, we have ...
x·log(2) = y·log(5) = z·log(10)
z = x·log(2) = y·log(5) . . . . . . . . log(10) = 1
__
Then z/x = log(2), and z/y = log(5), so ...
z/x +z/y = log(2) +log(5) = log(2·5) = 1
z = 1/(1/x +1/y) = 1/((x+y)/(xy))
z = (xy)/(x+y)
3/8 of a foot = 3/8 x 12/1 or 4 1/2 inches
So our 1/2 inch grows by a factor of 9 because 4 1/2 ÷ 1/2 = 9 Think how many 1/2 dollars are in 4 1/2 dollars. (Answer is 9)
So our 8 4/9 in the catalog has to grow the same
8 4/9 x 9 = 8 4/9 x 9/1 = 76/9 x 9/1 or 76 inches which is 6 ft 4 inches.
(76 ÷12 = 6 r4)
Answer:
Area decreases by 16%
Step-by-step explanation:
Use formula for the area of the triangle

<u>Initial triangle:</u>
The base is 18 cm
The height is 5 cm
The area is

<u>New triangle:</u>
The base is 
The height is 
The area is

Area decreases by

12 because you multiply each side by six
100% = 70
1% = .7 (divide by 100)
12% = 8.4 (Multiply 1% by 12)
70 - 8.4 = 61.6 (New Price)
