Mathematics
1 answer:
n200080 [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

i) 1.25m

ii) 32 books

Step-by-step explanation:

60 identical books occupies = length of 1.5m

(i) the length occupied by 50 such books on

a shelf,

If:

60 books = 1.5m

50 books = y m

60 × ym = 1.5 × 50

ym = 1.5 × 50/60

= 1.25 m

Therefore, 50 of such books occupies a length of 1.25m

(ii) the number of such books needed to completely

occupy a shelf that is 80 cm long.​

100 cm = 1m

80 cm = x m

Cross Multiply

xm = 80/100

= 0.8 m

If : 1.5 m = 60 books

0.8 m = y books

Cross Multiply

= 1.5m × y books = 60 books × 0.8m

y books = 60 books × 0.8m/1.5m

y books = 32 books

Therefore, 32 books occupies a shelf that is 80 cm or 0.8 m long

Oliga [24]

Answer:

First five terms are:

8 , (-4) , 2 , (-1) , (1/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

a_{1}=8 \\\\r = \frac{-1}{2}\\\\a_{2}=\frac{-1}{2}*a_{1}= \frac{-1}{2}*8= -4\\\\a_{3}=\frac{-1}{2}*a_{2}=\frac{-1}{2}*-4=2\\\\a_{4}=\frac{-1}{2}*a_{3}=\frac{-1}{2}*2=-1\\\\a_{5}=\frac{-1}{2}*a_{4}=\frac{-1}{2}*-1=\frac{1}{2}

Pls help me<br> 4x-2y=14<br> y=1/2x-1
kati45 [8]
Judging by the problem you want me to use substitute method
Since why equals 1/2x-1 you
Do 2(1/2x-1)= x-2
You multiple by 2 cause there’s two on the top for y. So the problem is now 4x-x-2
Combine like terms 3x+2=14
Subtract two on both sides
3x=12
X=4
Go back to the bottom since u know x now do y= 4.1/2-1 solve to get one
Y=1 so your answer is (4,1)

What fraction must be subtracted from the sum of 1/4 and 1/6 to have an average of 1/12 of all the two fractions
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

so 1/3 must be subtracted from the sum of 1/4 and 1/6 to have an average of 1/12 of all the two fractions.

Step-by-step explanation:

let the fraction be x

(1/4 + 1/6)-x =  1/12

or, 10/24 - x = 1/12

or, 5/12-1/12 = x

so, x = 4/12 = 1/3
