Art [367]

Answer:

A. Actute triangle

Murljashka [212]

The cost of spices in US dollars is $5.45

The cost of spices in Indian rupees = 401.39 rupees

The exchange rate is

1 dollar:73.6500 rupees

So we have to exchange the Indian rupees to the US dollars

The cost of spices in Indian rupees = 401.39 rupees

Andy has a collection of movie dvds. in andys collection 3/5 of the dvds are action 1/4 of the dvds are comedy. andy said that 4
Lerok [7]
If 3/5 are action and 1/4 are comedy then:

(3/5)+(1/4) are action or comedy

To add/subtract fractions you need a common denominator...

(3/5)*(4/4)+(1/4)(5/5)

(12/20)+(5/20)

17/20

So 17/20 (85%) of his collection are action or comedy not 4/9...

There are 24 pens in a desk drawer. The pens are either red or blue. The ratio of red pens to blue pens is 5:1. How many pens ar
Flura [38]

Answer:

The number of red pens is 20.

The number of blue pens is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that, the ratio of number of red pens to the number of blue pens is 5 : 1.

∴ Let us assume that the number of red pens be 5<em>x</em> and number of blue pens be <em>x</em>.

Total number of pens in the desk drawer = 24

Now, according to question :

Number of red pens + Number of blue pens = 24

⇒5<em>x</em> + <em>x</em> = 24

⇒6<em>x</em> = 24

⇒x=\frac{24}{6}=4

So, number of red pens in the drawer = 5<em>x</em> = 5 × 4 = 20

Number of blue pens in the drawer = <em>x</em> = 4
