10/n = 18/27 what is n?

2 answers:

7 0

Well, to understand what "n" is, we have to understand the relation between 18 and 27.
If we divide by 9, we'll notice that 18/27 simplifies to 2/3.
So, let's apply this to 10/n
10 over n must be the same ratio of 2/3.
10/2 is 5.
5*3 = 15.
n = 15.
Alternatively, cross multiply and solve.
10/n = 18/27
n will multiply with 18, 10 with 27.
18n = 270
/18 /18
n = 15

N = 10*27 / 87 = 270/18 = 15

Solve the inequality.

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

x $\leq$ -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Make common denominators

$\frac{2x}{6}$ - $\frac{3x-3}{6}$ $\geq$ $\frac{6}{6}$

Use the numerators only

2x - (3x - 3) $\geq$ 6

Distribute

2x - 3x + 3 $\geq$ 6

-x + 3 $\geq$ 6

Subtract 3 from both sides

-x $\geq$ 3

x $\leq$ -3

^ need help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

First set up the equation to find answer: y=7-x. Then add it to the variable. 3x-1(7-x)=1. So that makes it 3x+-7+-1=1. Add like terms -7+-1=-8, so 3x+-8=1. Now to find x just switch the 8 to the other side. So you end up with 3x=9 since when you take away a number from one side you need to use the opposite value so adding 8 to -8 will cancel it out, then add it to the other, then just divide. 9/3=3, from here just substitute to find y. y=7+3. y=10. The answer is x=2 and y=5. I hope I helped!

A standard number cube is tossed. Find the following probability. P(greater than 4 or odd)

lorasvet [3.4K]

A standard cube has 6 possible outcomes. But since we want to find P(4+ or odd), the outcomes become more narrow.
So:
6 outcomes -> 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

But we want to find 4+
So:
4+ = 4, 5, 6

We also want to find all odd possibilities.
So:
odd = 1, 3, 5

As you can see, there is a 5 in both the 4+ and the odd numbers so 5 will only be counted once.
P(4+ or odd) = 1, 3, 4, 5, 6

So the probability of having an outcome that is P(4+ or odd) is:
5/6 or 0.8333 or 83.33%

Hope I helped!
