Answer:
2/5, 7/15, 8/15, 3/5, 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
If these fractions are expressed with a common denominator, that would be 3×5 = 15. Then the given fractions are 1/3 = 5/15, and 4/5 = 12/15. The numerators 5 and 12 differ by 7, so we can easily choose 5 fractions in that range:
6/15 = 2/5
7/15
8/15
9/15 = 3/5
10/15 = 2/3

<em>Alternate solutions</em>
There is no requirement for the fractions to be written any particular way or with any particular spacing. The limits in decimal are 1/3 = 0.3333...(repeating) and 4/5 = 0.8. We could choose the decimal fractions ...
0.34, 0.40, 0.50, 0.60, 0.70
or
0.41, 0.52, 0.63, 0.74, 0.79

Step-by-step explanation:
of the students wore shorts.
of the students wore jeans.
Converting the fractions of the students who wore shorts and jeans respectively;
= 0.25
= 0.25
This means that the ratio of students who wore shorts is the same as that of students who wore jeans.
i.e =
5/8 - 3/10
Find the common denominator:
Multiples of 8: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 (8 x 5 = 40)
Multiples of 10: 10, 20, 30, 40 (10 x 4 = 40)
5/8 = 5*5 / 8*5 = 25/40
3/10 = 3*4 / 10 *4 = 12/40
Now you have 25/40 - 12/40
25 -12 = 13
Answer = 13/40
The answer is A.
Answer:
y intercept = - 40
Step-by-step explanation:
x 24 36 48
y -8 1 10
y = ax + b
a is the gradient (or slope).
b = y intercept.
a = (48-36) / (10-1) = 12/9
Rewrite to solve for b, which means it starts with b = ...
b = y - 12/9 * x
Substitute one point ( 24 , -8 )
b = -8 - (12/9 * 24)
b = y intercept = - 40

Explanation:
We view the ramp as a right triangle. The hypotenuse is 4.2 and the vertical side .7, which is opposite the angle
θ
we seek.

I'm going to finish the problem but I'll note if we were actually building the ramp we don't need to know the angle; this sine is sufficient.

There will be another inverse sine that is the supplementary angle, around
