let's firstly convert both fractions with the same denominator, by simply multiplying one by the denominator of the other, let's proceed,

\bf \cfrac{1}{5}\cdot \cfrac{3}{3}\implies \cfrac{3}{15}~\hspace{7em}\cfrac{1}{3}\cdot \cfrac{5}{5}\implies \cfrac{5}{15} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \boxed{\cfrac{3}{15}}\rule[0.35em]{10em}{0.25pt}~~\cfrac{4}{15}~~\rule[0.35em]{10em}{0.25pt}\boxed{\cfrac{5}{15}}

well, low and behold, 4/15 doesn't simplify further and is right between those two, and its denominator is not 4.

A woman bought 50 meters of cloth at 60 cedis . she sold the cloth at 1.50 cedis per meter. Find her percentage profit.​
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

<em>2</em><em>5</em><em> </em><em>%</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost price = 60 Ghana cedis for 50 metres

Selling price = 1.50 cedis for 1 meter

x cedis for 50 meters

Cross multiply

Selling price = 75 cedis

Profit = Selling price - Cost price

75 - 60

Profit = 15

Profit % =

\frac{profit}{cost \: price}  \times  \frac{100}{1}  \\  \frac{15}{60}  \times  \frac{100}{1}  \\  \\

Profit % = 25 %

Find the missing lengths of the sides.
Anarel [89]

Given:

The figure of a right angle triangle.

a=b

Hypotenuse = 9\sqrt{2} in.

To find:

The missing lengths of the sides.

Solution:

In the given right angle triangle both legs a and b are equal, and hypotenuse is 9\sqrt{2} in.

Using Pythagoras theorem, we get

Hyponteuse^2=Base^2+Perpendicular^2

(9\sqrt{2})^2=(a)^2+(b)^2

81(2)=(a)^2+(a)^2                    [\because a=b]

81(2)=2(a)^2

Divide both sides by 2.

81=(a)^2

Taking square root on both sides.

\pm \sqrt{81}=a

\pm 9=a

Side cannot be negative. So,

9=a

Thus, the missing side lengths are a=9 in and b=9 in.

Therefore, the correct option is C.

17. Which of the following is the correct formula for finding power in a DC circuit? A. P = I2R B. P = VR C. P = IR D. P = V2I
netineya [11]

Answer:

Choice A. P = I² · R where

  • P is the power in the DC circuit,
  • I is the current through the circuit, and
  • R is the total resistance of the circuit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Electrical power is the rate at which the electrical force does work. So what is electrical work? That's the work W that the electrical force do when it moves charges Q across a potential difference V:

W = V\cdot Q.

The power is the rate at which the electrical force do the work:

\displaystyle P = \frac{W}{t} = V \cdot \frac{Q}{t}.

On the other hand, current I is the charge through a cross-section of the circuit in unit time. By the definition of current:

\displaystyle\frac{Q}{t} = I.

\displaystyle P =V \cdot \frac{Q}{t} = V\cdot I.

Consider Ohm's Law:

V = I \cdot R.

Therefore

\displaystyle P = V\cdot I = (I \cdot R) \cdot I = I^{2}\cdot R.
