Answer: $\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following fraction:

$\frac{18}{24}$

You can observe that the numerator (which is 18) and the denominator (which is 24) are even numbers. Therefore, you can divide them by 2. Then:

$=\frac{9}{12}$

Notice now that the numerator 9 and the denominator 12 can be both divided by 3. Therefore, the fraction reduced to its lowest terms is:

$=\frac{3}{4}$

A technician is testing light bulbs to determine the number of defective bulbs. The technician records the table below to show t

Kruka [31]

Answer:

The ratio of the number of bulbs tested to defective bulbs is always 14 to 1.

What is the unitary method?

The unitary method is a method for solving a problem by the first value of a single unit and then finding the value by multiplying the single value.

We generally expect industrial processes to produce defects at about the same rate, the proportion of the defective product is generally considered to be a remain constant.

Here, the proportion of defective bulbs is:

1/14 = 2/28 = 6/84

So, it will be 24/336.

The ratio of the number of bulbs tested to defective bulbs is expected to remain constant at about 14.

In a geometric sequence, the ratio between consecutive terms is...

Leokris [45]

<h3>Answer: The same or equal</h3>

========================================================

Explanation:

Consider an example like 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, ...

The ratio between consecutive terms is

6/3 = 2
12/6 = 2
24/12 = 2
48/2 = 2

Each time we divide any given term over its previous one, we get the same ratio 2. We call this the common ratio. In terms of notation, the variable r is used for the common ratio, so r = 2 in this case.

As another example, the geometric sequence 5, 50, 500, 5000, ... has r = 10 as the common ratio because we multiply each term by 10 to get the next one. Moving forward has us multiply by r, moving backward and we divide by r. The value of r cannot be zero, but it can be negative.

An example with r being negative would be something like

1, -1, 1, -1, 1, -1, ....

we just bounce back and forth between those two values. In this case, r = -1.

answer:

y = 114° and x = 120°

step-by-step explanation:

part A:

one inner angle: 51°

second inner angle: (180°-87°) = 93°

third inner angle: (180°-30°) = 150°

fourth, beside y angle: 360° - 150° - 93° - 51° = 66°

then y = 180° - 66° = 114°

part B:

there are 6 sides, so inner angle: (6-2)*180 = 720°

160° + 123° + 107° + 90° + x + x = 720°

2x + 480° = 720°

2x = 720° = 480°

2x = 240°

x = 120°

Volume of a quadrangular pyramid=(1/3)bh
b=base
h=height

b=area of the base=area of a square=8.4 ft * 8.4 ft=70.56 ft²

Pythagoras theorem:
hypotenuse²=leg₁² + leg₂²

data:
hypotenuse=9.6 ft
leg₁=height=h
leg₂=8.4 ft /2=4.2 ft

(9.6 ft)²= h² + (4.2 ft)²
92.16 ft²=h²+17.64 ft²
h²=92.16 ft²-17.64 ft²
h²=74.52 ft²
h=√(74.52 ft²)=8.63 ft.

Volume of this quadrangular pyramid=(1/3)(70.56 ft²)(8.63 ft)=202.9 ft³≈202.3 ft³

Answer: ≈202.3 ft³
