It's basic subtraction. you subtract 7 1/8 with 4 4/8 by turning one of the one from the seven to 8/8 and add that to 1/8 so you get 9/8. Then 6 9/8 - 4 4/8 = 2 5/8.

Step-by-step explanation:

sqrt(5x)×(sqrt(8x²) - 2×sqrt(x)) =

sqrt(5x × 8x²) - 2×sqrt(5x × x) =

sqrt(40x) × x - 2x × sqrt(5) =

2x×sqrt(10x) - 2x×sqrt(5)

therefore, the last option is correct.

A grade has 81 girls and 72 boys. The grade is spilt into groups that have the same ratio of boys to girls as the whole grade. H
MariettaO [177]
There are 81 girls to every 72 boys in total, which can be represented by 81/72, which put into decimal form, is 1.125. If you then take the number of boys in the group, 16, and multiply it by this number (because the problem states that the ratio is constant) you can find the number of girls in the group.

16*1.125=18

So there are 18 girls in a group with 16 boys.

Answer:

a) 15:7

b) 1950 ml

c) There were 10 people in the group

Step-by-step explanation:

a) In its basic form, the ratio would be 750:350. However, to get it to it's most basic form, we must find the greatest common factor (GCF) of 750 and 350, which is 50. Then, we divide both numbers by the GCF so that 750 is 15 and 350 is 7. Therefore, the basic form of the ratio is 15:7.

b) First, we can find the amount of chicken stock needed for 12 people, which is just double of the recipe since the recipe is for 6 people. (900 * 2 = 1800). Then, we need to figure out how much chicken stock is required for one person since there are 13 and not 12. We can do this by multiplying 900 by 1/6 (since it's for 1 person out of the 6 people recipe) to get 150. Then, add the amount of chicken stock needed for 12 people and 1 person together. 1800 + 150 = 1950.

c) First, we must figure out how many grams of leeks are required for just one person. We can do this by taking the amount needed in the recipe (for 6 people) and dividing it by 6 to get the amount needed for 1 person. 750 divide by 6 is 125, so 125 g of leeks are required to make soup for 1 person. Then, we take the total amount of leeks that Delia used (1250) and divide that by 125 to get 10.

The sum of two numbers is 50 and the difference is 12. What are the numbers?
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

The two numbers are 31 and 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y be the numbers

x+y = 50

x-y = 12

Add the two equations together

x+y = 50

x-y = 12

-----------------

2x +0y = 62

Divide by 2

2x/2 = 62/2

x = 31

Now find y

31+y = 50

Subtract 31

y = 50-31

y = 19
