Question:

The numerator and denominator of a fraction are in the ratio of 3 to 5. If the numerator and denominator are both decreased by 2, the fraction is now equal to  \frac{1}{2}.

If n = the numerator and d = the denominator, which of the following systems of equations could be used to solve the problem?

5n = 3d and n - 2 = 2d - 4

5n = 3d and 2n - 4 = d - 2

3n = 5d and 2n - 4 = d - 2

Answer:

5n = 3d and 2n – 4 = d – 2

Solution:

Let n be the numerator of the fraction and d be the denominator of the fraction.

Given the numerator and denominator of a fraction are in the ratio of 3 to 5.

This can be written as n : d = 3 : 5.

⇒ \frac{n}{d}= \frac{3}{5} – – – – (1)

Do cross multiplication, we get

⇒ 5n = 3d

When the numerator and denominator are decreased by 2, the fraction is equal to \frac{1}{2}.

⇒ \frac{n-2}{d-2}= \frac{1}{2}

Do cross multiplication, we get

⇒ 2(n –2)=1(d – 2)

⇒ 2n – 4 = d – 2

Hence, 5n = 3d and 2n – 4 = d – 2 can be used to solve the problem.

Svetach [21]

Answer:

Answer:18+4.5\pi \\

Step-by-step explanation:

This shape is a triangle with a semicircle connected to it

and this triangle is a right triangle so side A=B

that means the other leg is 6.Knowing that we can solve

The formula for the area of a triangle is (base×height)÷2

so that means 6×6 equals 36 and if you divide that by 2 you get the 18.

Now we will deal with the semicircle. We know that both of the legs are 6 so that means the diameter is 6 and now we solve 6 divided by 2 equals 3 and we will have to square that and we will 9 and since it is a semicircle we have to divide it by 2  and that will give us 4.5 and since we have to express it in terms of pi it will be 4.5(pi) and then we add both of the areas

giving us 18+4.5(pi)

and do you go to RSM

2.6 Puzzle time how can you make sure to start a fire with two sticks?
enyata [817]

Answer:

"Make sure one of them is a match"

Step-by-step explanation:

It takes a little practice and above all to generate heat through friction. By raising the temperature of the woods, it is possible to reach the ignition temperature through friction.

Fires require good equipment and good technique. The majority of times it fails is due to a lack of technique and equipment. This can make learning difficult.

For wood selections, you generally want to comply with the following:

  • Dry Tinder
  • You should be able to press the wood. If you can't, then it is too difficult.
  • Wood not very strong but not soft
  • Not sap in the wood

Make the friction forming a 90 degree angle between them, like a cross. Keep one of the sticks supported on the floor vertically, and the other horizontally rubbing it against it at rapid speed, at intervals.

Under this wood put dry tinder that is able to ignite quickly once you generate the fire.

And for the Puzzle remember the orden of the words:

<h2>Make sure one of them is a match. </h2>

Use tree wood, rub and heat until ignition is generated.

Round 4.675 to the nearest cent
Viktor [21]
Money is written out to the hundredths place, so when rounding to the nearest cent, round to the hundredths place. In 4.675, the 7 is in the hundredths place. The value to its right, 5, is greater than 4, so the 7 is rounded up to 8. So 4.675 to the nearest cent is 4.68
