Explain why the ratios 5:7 and 14:15 are not equivalent

Mathematics
1 answer:
Vikki [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratios work like fractions. First we write the two ratios as fractions.

5/7 and 14/15

We can find a common denominator for these two ratios.

The LCD of the fractions is 7 * 15 = 105

Since 105/7 = 15, we multiply 15 * 5 = 75 to find the numerator.

5/7 = 75/105

Since 105/15 = 7, we multiply 7 * 14 = 98 to find the numerator.

14/15 = 98/105

75/105 is not equal to 98/105, so 5/7 is not equal to 98/105

If Matrix A has dimensions 1x3 and Matrix B has dimensions 3x4, can these be multiplied?
aalyn [17]
A=1x3 means 1 row and 3 columns.
B=3x4 means 3 rows and 4 columns.

AB is a compatible multiplication because A has three columns and B has 3 rows.

However, BA is not a compatible multiplication because B has 4 columns while A has only 1 row.

The general trick is if you read the row/column of the two matrices as 1-3-3-4, and the two middle ones are identical, then AB would be a compatible multiplication.  On the other hand, BA would read 3-4-1-3, since 4 and 1 are not identical, so it is not a valid multiplication.

Do remember 1x3 means 1 ROW and 3 COLUMNS.
