Given that a:b=8:5 b:c=3:4 find the ratio a:b:c

1 answer:

4 0

A:b = 8:5 b:c = 3:4
since both sides have b. make b the same. multiply the left by the right side b value of 3 and multiply the right by the left side b value of 5.
3(a:b) and 5(b:c)
3 (8:5) and 5(3:4)
24:15 15:20
now that both sides have the same b value
a:b:c = 24:15:20

Suppose that a cyclist began a 374 mi ride across a state at the western edge of the state, at the same time that a car traveli

kherson [118]

This is the concept of relative speed; We are required to calculate the speed of the car and the bicycle.
Distance between the car and Bicycle=374 miles
Time they met=5.5 hr
Speed traveled by bicycle=x
Speed traveled by car=x+33.4334
Relative speed=x+(x+33.4334)=(2x+33.4334) mph
Distance=speed*time
374=(2x+33.4334)*5.5
374=11x+183.8837
collecting like term we get:
374-183.8837=11x
11x=190.1163
thus;
x=(190.1163)/(11)
x=17.2833 mph
thus the speed of the bicycle was x=17.2833 mph
The speed of the car was (x+33.4334)=(17.2833+33.4334)=50.7167 mph

Answer:

16.7%.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are initially $24 + 15 + 8 = 47$ pencils in the bag.

Take a pencil out of this bag of 47 pencils. 15 out of the 47 pencils blue. Let $A$ represent the event of getting a blue pencil on the first pick. The probability of getting a blue pencil is:

$\displaystyle P(A) = \frac{15}{47}$ .

There are now $47 - 1 = 46$ pencils left in the bag. However, given that the first pencil removed from the bag is blue, the number of red pencils in the bag will still be 24. Take another pencil out of this bag of 46 pencils. Let $B$ represent the event of getting a red pencil on the second pick. The possibility that the second pencil is red given that the first pencil is blue will be:

$\displaystyle P(B|A) = \frac{24}{46}$ .

The question is asking for the possibility that the first pencil is blue and the second pencil is red. That is:

$\displaystyle P(A\cap B) = P(A) \cdot P(B|A) = \frac{15}{47}\times \frac{24}{46} = 0.166512 \approx 16.7\%$ .

What is the degree 3 polynomial that has zeros -3,2 and 5 and in which the coefficient of x^2 is -8?

Setler [38]

For zeroes/roots r1,r2, r3
the facors of the polynomial is
(x-r1)(x-r2)(x-r3)

roots
-3,2,5
(x-(-3))(x-2)(x-5)
(x+3)(x-2)(x-5)
the coefient of the x term is -4
so mutliply the whole thing by 2

(2)(x+3)(x-2)(x-5)

expand
f(x)=2x^3-8x^2-22x+60
