For this question you should know that you can multiply both number in 1/4 by 3 and you will have:
1*3 / 4*3 = 3/12
so the answer is yes they are equivalent :)))

No,
12 divided by 4 equals 3
Since you can't do 3 divided by four, it's not equivalent.

What is 500000 and 60000000 as a decimal

Juliette [100K]

The only way to make a decimal out of either of those numbers is to write a decimal point with some zeros after it.

500,000 = 500,000.000

60,000,000 = 60,000,000.00000

etc.

If it is asking if that equation is the quadratic formula, then the answer is false. The reason why is that the first 'b' should be negative

The quadratic formula is

$x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Amy and Ben share £21 between them in the ratio 5 : 2. How much does Amy get?

Answer:

✑ $\underline{ \underline{ \sf{First ,\: Let's \: learn \: about \: the \: ratio}}} :$

Let us consider , there are 30 boys and 40 girls in a school. So, the ratio of number of boys to number of girls = $\sf{ \frac{30}{40} = \frac{3}{4} = 3:4}$ and read as 3 is to 4. We can say , the ratio compares two of more quantities of same unit. Until two quantities have same units , it is meaningless to compare by ratio. So, to find the ratio of two quantities , it is necessary to express them in same unit or of same kind. Since , they are in division form. So ,ratio is unit less quantity. Thus , the ratio is a comparison of two quantities of the same kind in division which doesn't have any units. For example : $\sf{ \frac{a}{b}}$ is a ratio and is read as ' a is to b ' in which ' a : is antecedent and ' b ' is called consequent.
