Answer: Hello there!

As we know, each 1/2 mile there is a red ribbon, each 1/8 mile there is a green ribbon, and each 1/4 mile there is a blue ribbon.

We want to know which color of ribbons is in the 3/4 mile marker.

then we need to see if 3/4 is a multiple of some of the previous numbers.

Start with the red ribbons, we need to see the quotient between 3/4 and 1/2, if the result is a whole number, then 3/4 is a multiple of 1/2

this is q = (3/4)/(1/2) = (3/4)*2 = 6/4

here we haven't a whole number, then there is no red ribbon at the 3/4 mile marker.

now with the green ones:

(3/4)/(1/8) = (3/4)*8 = 24/4 = 6

there we have a whole number, this means that at the 3/4 mile marker, we will see the sixth green ribbon, then we have a green ribbon in this marker.

now with the blue:

(3/4)/(1/4) = (3/4)*4 = 3

At the 3/4 mile marker, we will see the third blue ribbon, then there is a blue ribbon in this marker.

Then we know that in the 3/4 mile marker, there are a green and a blue ribbon.

green and blue.

<u><em>Explanation</em></u><span><u><em>: </em></u>
We want to see which fractions </span></span>\frac{3}{4} is a multiple of. We know that \frac{3}{4} is a multiple of \frac{1}{4}, because \frac{1}{4}*3=\frac{3}{4}.

We can divide fractions to determine if \frac{3}{4} is a multiple of \frac{1}{2}:
\frac{ \frac{3}{4}}{ \frac{1}{2}};

in order to divide fractions, flip the second one and multiply:
\frac{3}{4})*\frac{2}{1}=\frac{6}{4}=1 \frac{1}{2}.
This did not divide evenly, so \frac{3}{4} is not a multiple of 1/2.

Checking to see if \frac{3}{4} is a multiple of \frac{1}{8}, \frac{ \frac{3}{4}}{ \frac{1}{8}};

flip the second one and multiply:
\frac{3}{4}*\frac{8}{1}=\frac{24}{4}=6.
This divided evenly, so \frac{3}{4} is a multiple of \frac{1}{8}.

Answer:

\sin(105) = \frac{\sqrt 2 + \sqrt 6}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\sin(105^o)

Required

Solve

Using sine rule, we have:

\sin(A + B) = \sin(A)\cos(B) + \sin(B)\cos(A)

This gives:

\sin(105^o) = \sin(60 + 45)

So, we have:

\sin(60 + 45) = \sin(60)\cos(45) + \sin(45)\cos(60)

In radical forms, we have:

\sin(60 + 45) = \frac{\sqrt 3}{2} * \frac{\sqrt 2}{2} + \frac{\sqrt 2}{2} * \frac{1}{2}

\sin(60 + 45) = \frac{\sqrt 6}{4} + \frac{\sqrt 2}{4}

Take LCM

\sin(60 + 45) = \frac{\sqrt 6 + \sqrt 2}{4}

Rewrite as:

\sin(60 + 45) = \frac{\sqrt 2 + \sqrt 6}{4}

Hence:

\sin(105) = \frac{\sqrt 2 + \sqrt 6}{4}

X/x+9 (original fraction)

x+1/ x+10 = 4/13

x+1=4 so x=3 and x+10=13 so again x=3

now that you have the value of x, substitute it into the original fraction to get:
