Answer:
it reduces to 7:8
Step-by-step explanation:
just put it like a fraction like 140/160. it simplifies to 7/8
6 pairs of shorts, for a
"s" dollars. A blazer costs 3 times as much, she bought one. The total was 139.50
6s + 3(6s) = 139.50
6s + 18s = 139.50
25s = 139.50 Divide everything by 25,
s = 5.58, which is how much the shorts were. Now for the blazers ;
It said they were three times the cost of shorts, if shorts are 5.58, it is 3*5.58.
3s
3(5.58)
16.74
The blazer cost 16.74
Factor the following:
15 x y - 45 x - 6 y + 18
Factor 3 out of 15 x y - 45 x - 6 y + 18:
3 (5 x y - 15 x - 2 y + 6)
Factor terms by grouping. 5 x y - 15 x - 2 y + 6 = (5 x y - 2 y) + (6 - 15 x) = y (5 x - 2) - 3 (5 x - 2):
3 y (5 x - 2) - 3 (5 x - 2)
Factor 5 x - 2 from y (5 x - 2) - 3 (5 x - 2):
Answer: 3 (5 x - 2) (y - 3)
Hi there!
First, you need to find the quotient of 4 and 13, obviously.
4/13 is equal to roughly 0.308.
Those grouping symbols around it tell you that you need to find the absolute value.
Absolute value is how far away a number is from 0 on a number line. 3, for example has a absolute value of 3, and -6 has an absolute value of 6.
So, the absolute value of 4/13 is about 0.308.
Hope this helps. :)
