Onen way, is to know that
if a=b and c=d, then a/c=b/d, and thn (a/c)(d/b)=1

the real way would be to make denomenators the same

one way would be to firs assume they are equal then show it is false
1/2=2/5
times right sides by 5/5 and left by 2/2
5/10=4/10
times 10 both sides
5=4

If you were to make the denominators equivalent, you'd see they aren't equivalent.

1/2=5/10

2/5=4/10

...Hope that helps

Item 7 you and a friend are running on treadmills. you run 0.5 mile every 3 minutes, and your friend runs 2 miles every 14 minut
sweet [91]
<span>You run 0.5 miles every 3 minutes => 1 mile every 6 minutes. Your friend runs 2 miles every 14 minutes => 1 mile every 7 minutes. You run a whole number of miles every number of minutes that is a multiple of 6. Your freind runs a whole number of miles every number of minutes that is a multiple of 7 Then the least possible number of miles that you both run to end at the same time is the least common factor of 7 and 6 minutes. This is 7 * 6 = 42 minutes. You will have run 42 min / (6 miles/min) = 7 miles, and your friend will have run 42 min / (7 miles/min) = 6 miles</span>

a marrow plants 0.5 m long. every week it grows by 20%. a find the value of the common ratio. b calculate how long the plant is
OLga [1]

Answer:

The common ratio is 1.2.

After 12 weeks the plant will be 4.46 meters long.

After one year the plant will be 6,552.32 meters long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a marrow plants 0.5 m long and every week it grows by 20%, to find the value of the common ratio, calculate how long the plant is after 12 weeks and comment on the predicted length of the marrow after one year must be performed the following calculations:

0.50 x 1.2 ^ X = Y

Therefore, the common ratio is 1.2.

0.50 x 1.2 ^ 12 = Y

0.50 x 8.916 = Y

4.4580 = Y

Therefore, after 12 weeks the plant will be 4.46 meters long.

0.50 x 1.2 ^ 52 = Y

0.50 x 13,104.63 = Y

6,552.32 = Y

Therefore, after one year the plant will be 6,552.32 meters long.
