Answer:

SMALLER INTEGER = 3

LARGER INTEGER = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Five times the larger of two consecutive odd integers is equal to one more than eight times the smaller

Let the larger = L, smaller = L - 2

5 × L = 8(L - 2) + 1

5L= 8L - 16 + 1

5L = 8L - 15

5L - 8L = - 15

-3L = - 15

Divide both sides by 3

L = 5

The smaller integer will be (L - 2)

(L - 2) = (5 - 2) = 3

HENCE, SMALLER INTEGER = 3

LARGER INTEGER = 5

The length of each side of an equilateral triangle is increased by 20%, resulting in triangle ABC. If the length of each side of

kompoz [17]

Answer: Area of ΔABC is 2.25x the area of ΔDEF.

Step-by-step explanation: Because equilateral triangle has 3 equal sides, area is calculated as

$A=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4} a^{2}$

with a as side of the triangle.

Triangle ABC is 20% bigger than the original, which means its side (a₁) measures, compared to the original:

a₁ = 1.2a

Then, its area is

$A_{1}=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}(1.2a)^{2}$

$A_{1}=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}1.44a^{2}$

Triangle DEF is 20% smaller than the original, which means its side is:

a₂ = 0.8a

So, area is

$A_{2}=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4} (0.8a)^{2}$

$A_{2}=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4} 0.64a^{2}$

Now, comparing areas:

$\frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}= (\frac{\sqrt{3}.1.44a^{2} }{4})(\frac{4}{\sqrt{3}.0.64a^{2} } )$

$\frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}} =$ 2.25

The area of ΔABC is 2.25x greater than the area of ΔDEF.

Which of the following is the correct ratio for converting kilograms to grams

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

1000 Grams : 1 Kilogram or 1 Kilogram : 1000 Grams

Step-by-step explanation:

In the metric system the value of a kilogram is solved like:

$Kg = \frac{g}{1000}$

When converting from grams to kilograms, we solve it like:

$g = \frac{kg}{0.0010000}$

Let's take for example:

2 KG is how many grams?

We use the grams to kilograms formula like so:

$g = \frac{2}{0.0010000}$

Then we end up with:

g = 2000

Where is Point A located on the coordinate grid?

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

The answer is Quadrant I.

Step-by-step explanation:

Start from the upper left square to the right and go to the bottom left square after you move from there.

Quadrant I is like Quadrant 1. Quadrant II is like Quadrant 2 and so forth. So if each Quadrant is the square with the lines dividing it, your answer is Quadrant I.
