A little Algebra, and we're home free!

We are given R = 20 and r2 = 75. We need to find r1.

The formula is 1/R = 1/r1 + 1/r2. Plug-in:
1/20 = 1/r1 + 1/75
1/20 - 1/75 = 1/r1
0.0366 = 1/r1
r1 = 1/0.03666
r1 = 27.272

Our answer is r1 = 27 ohms.

Answer:

The correct answer is c. 27\Omega

Step-by-step explanation:

- The first step is to get the r_1 variable for alone on one side.

\frac{1}{r}=\frac{1}{r_1}+\frac{1}{r_2}

  • Pass the term \frac{1}{r_2} to subtract to the left side.

\frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{r_2}=\frac{1}{r_1}

  • Pass the term \frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{r_2} to divide to the right side and pass the term r_1 to multiply to the left side.

r_1=\frac{1}{\frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{r_2}}

- The second step is to replace the values of r and r_2 into the previous expression.

r_1=\frac{1}{\frac{1}{20}-\frac{1}{75}}

- The third step is to perform the operations to simplify the expression.

r_1=\frac{1}{0.05-0.01333}

r_1=\frac{1}{0.03666}

r_1=27.2727\Omega

As it is necessary to round the answer, the value of r_1 is 27\Omega.

Thus, the correct answer is c. 27\Omega

Setler [38]

Answer:

12 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Students = 54

Required

Determine the number of students that eat lunch once a week

In Sets;

If out of 9, at least 7 eats one a week then

9 - 7 eats lunch once a week

9 - 7 = 2

<em>In other words;</em>

2 out of 9 students eat lunch once a week

Number of students in this category is then calculated as thus;

Number = \frac{2}{9} * 54

Number = \frac{2 * 54}{9}

Number = \frac{108}{9}

Number = 12
