15/7 x 5 and 2/5 x 7
75/35 - 14/35 = 61/35

Answer:

1 26/35

Step-by-step explanation:

Before subtracting, you must find the common denominator.

The lowest number 7 and 5 can both make is 35.

Now, we must convert the fractions.

15/7 = 75/35

2/5= 14/35

Now because we have the same denominator, we can subtract.

75/35

-

14/35= 61/35.

61/35= 1 26/35.

Now you can simplify your answer. 1 26/35 cannot be simplified so that's your answer.

<h3>Answer: Choice C) 421.9</h3>

=======================================

Explanation:

You're on the right track. You wrote down the proper expression to get the final answer, assuming you meant to write 75/4 as the third term inside the parenthesis. This works because each time you cut the side length in half to get each smaller triangle's side. The 3 is because there are 3 sides for each of the triangles. Much of this I have a feeling you already know as you wrote down the expression on the page, though I'm not 100% sure of your mindset. Computing this expression leads to 421.875 which rounds to 421.9

note: an alternative is to write 3*75 + 3*75/2 + 3*75/4 + 3*75/8, though that is more work. It's better to have that 3 factored out.

What is 3/2=9/10k im having troble lots rly
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

k=  5 over 3  =1.667

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                    (3)/(2)-((9)/(10)*k)=0

simplify 9/10

 3      9

 — -  (—— • k)  = 0  

 2     10

simplify 3/2

 3    9k

 — -  ——  = 0  

 2    10

   Find the Least Common Multiple

     The left denominator is :       2  

     The right denominator is :       10

Least Common Multiple:

     10

Calculate multipliers for the two fractions

   Denote the Least Common Multiple by  L.C.M  

   Denote the Left Multiplier by  Left_M  

   Denote the Right Multiplier by  Right_M  

   Denote the Left Deniminator by  L_Deno  

   Denote the Right Multiplier by  R_Deno  

  Left_M = L.C.M / L_Deno = 5

  Right_M = L.C.M / R_Deno = 1

Rewrite the two fractions into equivalent fractions

Two fractions are called equivalent if they have the same numeric value.

For example :  1/2   and  2/4  are equivalent,  y/(y+1)2   and  (y2+y)/(y+1)3  are equivalent as well.

To calculate equivalent fraction , multiply the Numerator of each fraction, by its respective Multiplier.

  L. Mult. • L. Num.      3 • 5

  ——————————————————  =   —————

        L.C.M              10  

  R. Mult. • R. Num.      9k

  ——————————————————  =   ——

        L.C.M             10

Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

3 • 5 - (9k)     15 - 9k

————————————  =  ———————

     10            10  

Pull out like factors :

  15 - 9k  =   -3 • (3k - 5)

-3 • (3k - 5)

 —————————————  = 0  

      10      

When a fraction equals zero ...

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

 -3•(3k-5)

 ————————— • 10 = 0 • 10

    10    

Now, on the left hand side, the  10  cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :

  -3  •  (3k-5)  = 0

Solve :    -3   =  0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solve  :    3k-5 = 0  

Add  5  to both sides of the equation :  

                     3k = 5

Divide both sides of the equation by 3:

                    k = 5/3 = 1.667

one solution was found

k = 5/3 = 1.667

hope it helps sry its so long

Hello may i please have help with this question
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

x=√139-3, x=-√139-3

Step-by-step explanation:

to complete the square, you first move the constant to the other side of the equation-its already done for you!

now, you find the perfect square trinomial. You divide the b value by 2, then square it: 6/2=3, 3^2=9.

What you do to one side has to be done with the other.

x^2+6x+9=130+9

now you can factor the square:

(x+3)^2=139

squareroot both sides:

x+3=√139

x+3=-√139

now subtract both sides by 3

x=√139-3

x=-√139-3

Jennifer makes 1.7 liters of lemonade. If she pours 3 tenths of the lemonade in a glass, how many liters of lemonade are in the
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

0.51 liters in the glass

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Litres = 1.7L

Pour= \frac{3}{10}th

Required

Determine how many liters in the glass

To do this, we simply multiply the fraction poured by the total.

So, we have:

Poured = \frac{3}{10} * 1.7

Poured = \frac{3* 1.7}{10}

Poured = \frac{5.1}{10}

Poured = 0.51

<em>There will be 0.51 liters in the glass</em>
