<span>Let the major axis = 2a , and the minor axis = 2b
∴ a = 26/2 = 13    and   b = 24/2 = 12
and the equation of foci:
c² = a² - b²
    = 13² - 12² = 169 - 144 = 25
∴ c = √25 = 5

∴ The distance between the foci = 2 * 5 = 10

I NEED THIS ASAP 5/8 of 48 is equal to 8/15 of some number. What is this number?
murzikaleks [220]

(5/8) × 48 = (8/15) × n

Multiply by the inverse of the coefficient of n. That inverse is 15/8.

n = (15/8)×(5/8)×48 = (75/64)×48 = 225/4 = 56 1/4

5/8 of 48 is equal to 8/15 of 56 1/4
