What is the reciprocal of 31/2

1 answer:

8 0

The reciprocal of a number is the number that the first number will multiply with that equals one.
So, for instance, the reciprocal of 3 is 1/3.
Since we can write 3 as 3/1, we can see it's simply flipping the numerator and denominator to find the reciprocal.
So, flipping numerator and denominator, the reciprocal of 31/2 is 2/31.

10. On one night, a group of 9 rats carried away 45 kg of food. What is the reduced ratio of rats to food weight

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Number of rats : Food weight = 1 : 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of rats in the group = 9

Weight of food carried away by them = 45 kg

Ratio of the number of rats and food weight = $\frac{\text{Number of rats}}{\text{Weight of food carried by the rats}}$

= $\frac{9}{45}$

= $\frac{1\times 9}{5\times 9}$

= $\frac{1}{5}$

Therefore, Number of rats : Food weight = 1 : 5

A polygon has n sides. Two of its sides are right angle while the remaining each side is 144.find n

deff fn [24]

Use the formula that states that the sum of the angles of an n-sided polygon is given by
S=(n−2)180
0
........(1)

Since we are given that the two angles are right angles and each of the remaining angles is 144
0
, therefore, the sum is:

S=90
0
+90
0
+(n−2)144
0
.........(2)

Therefore setting (2) equal to (1) we get

(n−2)180
0
=90
0
+90
0
+(n−2)144
0

⇒(n−2)180
0
−(n−2)144
0
=180
0

⇒(n−2)(180
0
−144
0
)=180
0

⇒(n−2)(36
0
)=180
0

⇒n−2=
36
180

⇒n−2=5
⇒n=5+2=7

Hence, the polygon has 7 sides.
