Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is,

$\Rightarrow ax = 6$

$\Rightarrow x = \dfrac{6}{a}$

We need to to find all the whole values of a for which the solution of the equation i.e x will be a whole number.

We know that when a number is divided by one of its factor it leaves a remainder of 0 or the result we get is a whole number.

That is why, we need a as one of the factors of 6, i.e 1, 2, 3, 6 in order to get x as a whole number.

Mars2501 [29]

The number of ways to arrange the 5 writings in a row is 5! = 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 120 ways.

There is only 1 way to arrange the writings from oldest to newest.

Therefore, the probability is 1/120.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

using the sine ratio in the right triangle, then

sin 45° = $\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$ = $\frac{x}{5}$

multiply both sides by 5

note the exact value of sin 45° = $\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}$

x = 5 × sin 45° = 5 × $\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}$ = $\frac{5\sqrt{2} }{2}$
