Answer:

The original fraction is  \frac{3}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The ratio of numerator to denominator = 3 : 5

Let The numerator = 3 x

Let The denominator = 5 x

Again

If two is added to the numerator and  five is subtracted from the denominator, the new fraction reduces to four fifths.

So, \dfrac{3 x + 2}{5 x - 5} = \frac{4}{5}

Or, 5 × (3 x + 2) = 4 × (5 x - 5)

Or, 15 x + 10 = 20 x - 20

Or, 20 x - 15 x = 10 + 20

or, 5 x = 30

∴  x = \frac{30}{5}

i.e x = 6

So, The numerator = 3 × 6 = 18

And The denominator = 5 × 6 = 30

∴ Original fraction = \frac{numerator}{denominator}

Or, Original fraction = \frac{18}{30} = \frac{3}{5}

Hence, The original fraction is  \frac{3}{5}  Answer

The formula for potential energy is P = mgh. Solve the equation for h.
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

P = mgh

P/mg = h

We can divide both sides by mg, since both mass and gravity are being multiplied and not added.

Hope this helps!! :)

The perimeter of the figure to the right, made up of identical squares, is equal to 56 cm. What is the area of the figure?
Mamont248 [21]

The area of the square will be 196cm².

<h3>How to calculate the area?</h3>

It should be noted that the perimeter of a square is the addition of all its sides. Therefore, the length of the side will be:

= 56/4

= 14

Therefore, the area of the figure will be:

= 14²

= 14 × 14

= 196cm²

If using the method of completing the square to solve the quadratic equation x^2-4x+10=0,which number would have to be added to
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 4x + 10 = 0

subtract 10 from both sides

x² - 4x = - 10

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(- 2)x + 4 = - 10 + 4

(x - 2)² = - 6

To complete the square add 4
