Debnil have 2 tablespoons to salt.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Number of teaspoons of salt = 6

Ratio of teaspoons to tablespoons = 3:1

Let,

x be the number of tablespoon of salt for 6 teaspoons.

Ratio of teaspoons to tablespoons = 6:x

Using proportion

Ratio of teaspoons to tablespoons :: Ratio of teaspoons to tablespoons

$3:1::6:x$

Product of mean = Product of extreme

$6*1=3*x\\6=3x\\3x=6$

Dividing both sides by 3

$\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{6}{3}\\x=2$

Debnil have 2 tablespoons to salt.

What is the simplified form of StartRoot StartFraction 72 x Superscript 16 Baseline Over 50 x Superscript 36 Baseline EndFractio

Iteru [2.4K]

The simplification form of the provided expression is 6/5x¹⁰ option first is correct.

<h3>What is an expression?</h3>

It is defined as the combination of constants and variables with mathematical operators.

We have an expression:

$\rm = \sqrt{\dfrac{72x^{16}}{50x^{36}}}$

$\rm = \sqrt{\dfrac{72}{50}} \sqrt{\dfrac{x^{36}}{x^{16}}}$

$\rm = \sqrt{\dfrac{36\times2}{25\times2}} \sqrt{\dfrac{x^{36}}{x^{16}}}$

$\rm ={\dfrac{6x^{8}}{5x^{18}}}$

$\rm ={\dfrac{6}{5x^{10}}}$

Thus, the simplification form of the provided expression is 6/5x¹⁰ option first is correct.
