Answer:A rational number is such that when you multiply it by 5/2 and add 2/3 to the product you get -7/12 . What is the number.
Step-by-step explanation:Let p/q (q ≠ 0) denote the rational number. Multiplying it by 5/2 gives (p/q)(5/2). Add 2/3 to the product and we get (p/q)(5/2) + 2/3 . The result is given to be -7/12.
∴ (p/q)(5/2) + 2/3 = -7/12 …………………………..……………………………………..(1)
Transposing 2/3 to right-hand-side and changing the sign to negative,
(p/q)(5/2) = -2/3 -7/12 = -(2/3 + 7/12) =- (2 x 4 + 7)/12 (Taking L.C.M.)
Or, (p/q)(5/2) = -(8+7)/12 = - 15/12
Multiplying both sides by 2/5,
(p/q)(5/2) x (2/5) = -15/12 . 2/5 = -(3x5)/(3x4) . 2/5 =- 5/4 .2/5
Since 2/5 is the multiplicative inverse of 5/2, 5/2 x 2/5 = 1 and we obtain
(p/q).1 = -1/4 . 2/1 = -1/2
⇒ p/q = -1/2 which is a negative rational number in which p = 1 and q = 2 ≠ 0 .
∴ the rational number = -1/2
Answer:
Question 6: 26 crowns plus 15 ribbons.
Question 7: 10 footballs plus 42 basketballs.
Step-by-step explanation:
Question 6 explanation: Since the expression is 22 crowns plus 13 ribbons plus 2 ribbons plus 4 crowns, you can think of the different items as variables in an equation. Picture crowns are the variable 
, and ribbons as the variable 
, this will help you solve the equation in an easier way that allows you to comprehend each step better. The equation will now be 
, in order to find how many (crowns) and (ribbons) you have, you need to combine like terms in the expression. In other words, add the terms with the variable together, and add the terms with the variable together. Simplified, the equation will be 
. Since the variables and were used to represent crowns and ribbons respectively, that means the correct answer is 26 crowns plus 15 ribbons.
Question 7 explanation: You can use the same method as you did in question 6, think of footballs and basketballs as the variables and respectively. The equation will be 
= 
. Since the variable was used to represent footballs and the variable was used to represent basketballs, that means the correct answer would be 10 footballs plus 42 basketballs.
Answer:
3 or 2.999 (probably 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
So the volume of a cylinder = πr^2 * h
h = height
r = radius
now we know the radius. Leaving us with a simple equation which is:
π*9*h = 9π*h = 84.78 =
π*h = 9.42
h = 9.42 / π = 2.99847912785......
but we can round this to 2.999 or just 3. if you use 2.999 the volume is 84.79 which is as close as I'm gonna try to get. And you might ask why we're rounding to 2.999 and not 2.998? This is because that huge number is the minimum. And 2.998 is smaller than that huge number, meaning it would technically be less than 84.78 cubic ft. But this doesn't really matter because the answer your teacher is probably looking for is 3.
Reference my work if you're are confused, however, it's really messy so sorry about that.
The area of a rectangle is A=LW, the area of a square is A=S^2.
W=S-2 and L=2S-3
And we are told that the areas of each figure are the same.
S^2=LW, using L and W found above we have:
S^2=(2S-3)(S-2) perform indicated multiplication on right side
S^2=2S^2-4S-3S+6 combine like terms on right side
S^2=2S^2-7S+6 subtract S^2 from both sides
S^2-7S+6=0 factor:
S^2-S-6S+6=0
S(S-1)-6(S-1)=0
(S-6)(S-1)=0, since W=S-2, and W>0, S>2 so:
S=6 is the only valid value for S. Now we can find the dimensions of the rectangle...
W=S-2 and L=2S-3 given that S=6 in
W=4 in and L=9 in
So the width of the rectangle is 4 inches and the length of the rectangle is 9 inches.
344 should be placed in the box
