Answer:

  • h = 5/2
  • p = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

c) Multiply by the denominator under the variable, then simplify.

\dfrac{10}{8}=\dfrac{h}{2}\\\\\dfrac{2\cdot 10}{8}=h\\\\\dfrac{5}{2}=h

__

d) Simple observation shows you the denominator of each fraction is half the numerator, so p = 6.

If you want to solve this algebraically, you can multiply by p and divide by the value on the left of the equal sign (2).

\dfrac{4}{2}=\dfrac{12}{p}\\\\\dfrac{p}{2}\cdot\dfrac{4}{2}=\dfrac{p}{2}\cdot\dfrac{12}{p}\\\\p=6

__

For an "upside down" proportion such as this (with the variable in the denominator), you can rewrite it by inverting both fractions:

  \dfrac{2}{4}=\dfrac{p}{12}

Now, solve as for (c), by multiplying by the denominator under the variable:

  \dfrac{12\cdot 2}{4}=p=6

_____

<em>Comment on this last solution method</em>

In general, you can use equation solving methods to solve inequalities. However, taking a reciprocal is an order-reversing process:

  3 > 2

  1/3 < 1/2

So, if you want to solve an inequality with the variable in the denominator of a proportion, be careful to observe any order-changing behavior of your solution method.

Answer:

b=2.5

p=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the fraction and simplify it. So 10/8 would be 5/4

You multiply the 2 by 2, giving you h/4

So now you have 5/4=h/4

h=5 but now you have to divide both by 2 again so it can go back to the original fraction.

5÷2=2.5 and 4÷2=2

Second Problem! 4/2 is equal to 2/1

You can also multiply 4 by 3 to get the numerator as 12. Multiply the 4 by 3 and the 2 by 3

Now you have 12/6= 12/p

So p is 6

Mr. Gonzazales has only 42.50 to spend he wants to buy 29 t shirts including tax and some bracelets that cost 4.50 each includin
erica [24]

Answer:

He can buy <u>3 bracelets</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mr. Gonzales has only 42.50 to spend he wants to buy 29 t shirts including tax and some bracelets that cost 4.50 each including tax.

Now, to find the number of bracelets he can buy.

Let the number of bracelets he can buy be x.

Price of each bracelets = 4.50.

Total amount to spend = 42.50.

Number of t-shirts = 29.

Now, to get the number of bracelets we put an equation:

29+4.50\times x=42.50\\\\29+4.50x=42.50

<em>Subtracting both sides by 29 we get:</em>

<em />4.50x=42.50-29\\\\4.50x=13.5<em />

<em>Dividing both sides by 4.50 we get:</em>

x=3.

<u>The number of bracelets = 3.</u>

Therefore, he can buy 3 bracelets.

Steve puts an 18-foot ladder against his house. The ladder reaches a height of 15 feet on the house. How far is the bottom of th
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

3 \sqrt{11}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given the hypotenuse which is 18 since it slanted, and leans on the house. And we are given one of the legs which is 15 since it is vertical. We can use the pythagorean theorem to solve for this problem.

{a}^{2}  +  {b}^{2}  = c {}^{2}

where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse l.

Let plug it in

{a}^{2}  + 15 {}^{2}  =  {18}^{2}

{a }^{2}  + 225 = 324

{a}^{2}  = 99

a =  \sqrt{99}

a =  \sqrt{9 \times 11}

a = 3 \sqrt{11}
