Which equation correctly shows the multiplication of the means and extremes in the proportion 7.2 ∕ 9.6 = 21.6 ∕ 28.8?

a. 7.2 ⋅ 9.6 = 21.6 ⋅ 28.8

b. 9.6 ⋅ 21.6 = 28.8 ⋅ 7.2

c. 7.2 ⋅ 21.6 = 28.8 ⋅ 9.6

d. 7.2 ⋅ 28.8 = 21.6 ⋅ 28.8

Answer:

b. 9.6 ⋅ 21.6 = 28.8 ⋅ 7.2

Step-by-step explanation:

When a proportion say a/b = c/d is given, the outer terms are called the extremes while the inner/middle terms are called the means.

In the case of a / b = c / d,

the outer terms are a and d

the inner terms are b and c

Often times, we find the cross products of the proportion to test whether the two ratios in the proportion are equal. To do that, we find the product of the extremes and equate it to the product of the means.

In the case of a / b = c / d,

the cross products are a x d and b x c

So if a x d = b x c, then a/b = c/d is a true proportion.

Now to the question;

Given proportion: 7.2 / 9.6 = 21.6 / 28.8

Extremes = 7.2 and 28.8

Means = 9.6 and 21.6

The correct multiplication of the means and extremes is therefore

9.6 x 21.6 = 7.2 x 28.8

or

9.6 · 21.6 = 7.2 · 28.8

A car brought for 13000 deprecitates at 15 percent per year find value of car after 5 years
Nesterboy [21]

the value of the car will be 3250 after 5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

the value of the car = 13000

rate of interest = 15%

time = 5 years

in 5 years the car will depreciates  = 13000 X 15% X 5

=\frac{13000 X 15 X 5}{100}

= 9750

after 5 years the value of the car is = 13000 - 9750 = 3250

At noon a train leaves Washington, D.C., headed for Charleston, South Carolina, a distance of 500 mi. The train travels at a spe
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, it is important to know where the train that leaves Washington will get after one hour since they didn't start at the same time between noon and 1 is 1 hour.

Speed = distance / time

Distance = speed * time

The distance S = 44 * 1

S= 44m

To determine the time they will pass each other

500(total distance)- 44 ( distance gotten to in 1 hour) - d(the distance it willl pass each other =44* t(time the train will pass each other.

456-d =44t

Second train

d = 32t

Substituting to the equation

456-32t=44t

456=76t

t= 6 hours.

The time they will pass each other is six hours.
