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.

<span><u><em>The correct answer is: </em></u>
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}.

Find the unknown. = (65 × 3) + 9
alekssr [168]

Answer:

204

Step-by-step explanation:

Following the order of operations, what is within the parenthesis is solved first.

<em>65 x 3 = 195</em>

Then, you add 9 to 195.

<em>195 + 9 = 204</em>

<em>204</em> is the final answer.

If anyone knows please help me
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form of a circle is given by,

(x - a)² + (y - b)² = r²

Here, (a, b) is the center and 'r' is the radius of the circle.

For a circle having center (8, -4) and radius r = 1

Equation of the circle will be,

(x - 8)² + (y + 4)² = 1²

(x - 8)² + (y + 4)² = 1

Option (1) is the answer.

Question (2)

Circle with the center (-1, 0) and a point (2, -4) on it,

Radius of the circle = Distance between the center and the given point on                                         circumference

                                = \sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}

                                = \sqrt{(-1-2)^2+(0+4)^2}

                                = \sqrt{9+16}

                                = 5

Therefore, equation of the circle will be,

(x + 1)² + (y - 0)² = 5²

(x + 1)² + y² = 25
