Remember
anything times 1=same thing and
 
x/x=1 where x=x
so
mutliply both fractions by what makes the bottom numbers 40
1/5
5 times what=40?
answer is 8
multily by 1 or 8/8
1/5 times 8/8=8/40


7/8
8 is bottom
8 times what is 40? answer is 5
multiply by 1 or 5/5
7/8 times 5/5=35/40
1/5=8/40
7/8=35/40
they are not equal

No because you multiply 1/5 by 8 ans you will get 8/40 mean while you got 7/8 and multiply that by 5 and you get 35/40 so the answer is no

Ms. Johnston's students counted by fives. The first person said, "Five." The next said, "Ten"; the next "15." They went all the
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

20 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

The <u>first </u>person said 5 (which is 5 x 1), the <u>second </u>person said 10 ( which is 5 x2)... we see that this is a arithmetic sequence where the first term is 5 and the nth term is 100. We know that 100 = 5 x 20, therefore, the number of students that counted all the way up to 100 was 20 and Bobby was wrong.

sergejj [24]

Answer:

I took them a total of 5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

First you multiply 65 by 2 because of the first two hours

Then you subtract 130 out of 364 to get 234, those were the first two hours

The next hours you simply divide 234/78, which is 3

3 + 2 = 5 hours

find two positive real numbers such that they sum to 108 and the product of the first times the square of the second is a maximu
topjm [15]

The two positive numbers are 36 and 72 which gives a sum equal to 108 and the product of 36 and the square of 72 is a maximum.

Any integer greater than zero is considered a positive number. A positive number can either be written as a number or with the "+" symbol in front of it.

Let us consider the two positive real numbers as x and y. Then, their sum is written as,

x+y=108

Then, y=108-x

And the product is written as,

P=xy²

Substitute value of y in the above equation, we get,

\begin{aligned}P&=x(108-x)^2\\&=x(11664-216x+x^2)\\&=11664x-216x^2+x^3\\&=x^3-216x^2+11664x\end{aligned}

Now, differentiate P with respect to x, and we get,

\begin{aligned}\frac{dP}{dx}&=3x^2-432x+11664\\&=x^2-144x+3888\end{aligned}

Solving the above equation to zero, we get,

\begin{aligned}x^2-144x+3888&=0\\x^2-36x-108x+3888&=0\\x(x-36)-108(x-36)&=0\\(x-108)(x-36)&=0\\x&=\text{108 or 36}\end{aligned}

Substitute values of x in y=108-x, to get values of y.

If we substitute x=108, we get the y value as zero which doesn't give the required solution.

But, if we substitute x=36, we get,

\begin{aligned}y&=108-36\\y&=72\end{aligned}

Thus, the two positive numbers are 36 and 72.
