Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If a and b are rational and b is not zero, then a/b is also rational. Indeed, if a=m/n and b=p/q, where m,n,p, and q are integers, then a/b=mq/pn, i.e. it is also a ratio of two integers, and is therefore rational.

The ratio of jumps to falls for ice skater Rhonda is 4 falls to every 15 jumps. At this rate, how many times will she not fall i

Inessa05 [86]

<u>Answer:</u>

Rhonda will not fall 264 times in 360 jumps.

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, The ratio of jumps to falls for ice skater Rhonda is 4 falls to every 15 jumps.

We have to find At this rate, how many times will she not fall in 360 jumps.

Now,

For 15 jumps → 4 falls

For 360 jumps → n falls

Now apply Chris cross method,

$15 \times n=360 \times 4 \rightarrow n=\frac{360 \times 4}{15}=24 \times 4=96$

So, she falls 96 times in 360 jumps.

Then, number of times she will not fall = 360 jumps – 96 falls = 264 times.

Hence, Rhonda will not fall 264 times in 360 jumps.

Point b is the midpoint of ac-. if ab= 4x+2 and ac=10x-6, find the length of ac

Natasha2012 [34]

let's bear in mind that B is the midpoint and thus it cuts a segment into two equal halves.

$\bf \underset{\leftarrow \qquad \textit{\large 10x-6}\qquad \to }{\boxed{A}\stackrel{4x+2}{\rule[0.35em]{10em}{0.25pt}} B\stackrel{\underline{4x+2}}{\rule[0.35em]{10em}{0.25pt}\boxed{C}}} \\\\\\ AC=AB+BC\implies 10x-6=(4x+2)+(4x+2)\implies 10x-6=8x+4 \\\\\\ 2x-6=4\implies 2x=10\implies x=\cfrac{10}{2}\implies x= 5 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ AC=(4x+2)+(4x+2)\implies AC=[4(5)+2]+[4(5)+2] \\\\\\ AC=22+22\implies AC=44$
