The solution to given expression 1\frac{5}{7} \div \frac{4}{9} is \frac{27}{7} or 3.8571

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given expression is:

1\frac{5}{7} \div \frac{4}{9}

<em><u>First let us convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction</u></em>

Multiply the whole number by the denominator.

Add the answer from Step 1 to the numerator.

Write answer from Step 2 over the denominator.

Thus we get,

1\frac{5}{7} = \frac{1 \times 7 + 5}{7} = \frac{12}{7}

Now the given expression becomes,

1\frac{5}{7} \div \frac{4}{9} = \frac{12}{7} \div \frac{4}{9}

Convert the problem to multiplication by changing the division sign to multiplication and inverting the fraction to the right of the sign

\frac{12}{7} \div \frac{4}{9} = \frac{12}{7} \times \frac{9}{4}

Multiply the numerators, multiply the denominators, and leave the product in factored form

\frac{12}{7} \times \frac{9}{4} = \frac{27}{7}

In decimal form we get,

\frac{27}{7} = 3.8571

Thus the solution to given expression is \frac{27}{7} or 3.8571

Kitty [74]
$10.50a + $3.75b = $2,071.50 It is given that b = 82 Therefore - $10.50a + ($3.75)(82) = $2,071.50 or $10.50a + $307.50 = $2,071.50 $10.50a = $2,071.50 - $307.50 = $1,764.00 Therefore - a (number of adult tickets sold) = $1,764.00/$10.50 = 168 tickets

The sum of two numbers is twenty-four. The difference of the two numbers is four.
RSB [31]

Answer:

x + y = 24

x - y = 4

Now, add these two equations.

You get,

2x = 28

x =  \frac{28}{2}

x = 14

Given,

x + y = 24

14 + y = 24

y = 24 - 14

y = 10

You can test this to the other equation as well.

x - y = 4

14 - 10 = 4

Hence, the two numbers are 14 and 10.

A rectangle is 20 meters long and 20 meters wide. If the length is increased by 10% and the width is decreased by 10%, what is t
Solnce55 [7]

Consider that the initial length and width of the rectangle are given as,

\begin{gathered} l=20 \\ b=20 \end{gathered}

After the length is increased by 10%, the new length (L) of the rectangle is calculated as,

\begin{gathered} L=(1+\frac{10}{100})\cdot l \\ L=(\frac{110}{100})\cdot20 \\ L=22 \end{gathered}

After the width is decreased by 10%, the new width (B) of the rectangle is calculated as,

\begin{gathered} B=(1-\frac{10}{100})\cdot b \\ B=(\frac{90}{100})\cdot20 \\ B=18 \end{gathered}

Then the area (A) of the new rectangle is calculated as,

\begin{gathered} A=L\times B \\ A=22\times18 \\ A=396 \end{gathered}

Thus, the new area of the rectangle is 396 square meters.
