Answer:

The scalar used does not exist in the real number system.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio 16:14 is not equivalent to the ratio 64:60 because the scalar used does not exist in the real number system.

Note, that the ratio 64:60 can be scaled down by 4 to be the ratio 16:15, which is not the ratio 16:14.

In order to scale 64:60 to 16:14 or vise versa, you'd have to use a number that simply does not exist in the real number system.

Cheers.

tino4ka555 [31]

a) To create an equation

X+X =7

so what's X over here is

7² = x²

X=3.5

b) Real numbers are mixture of irrational and rational numbers so √5 and √6 are irrational where as 5 and 6 are not but they two are equal to each other.

Explaining the equation:

√5 +√6 = √11

5 +6 = 11

√11 =11

√= 11 ÷ 11

√= 1

So if root is 1 then -1 is -√

this is the answer propably

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

Altogether they sell 1634 apples.

Step-by-step explanation:

GIven:

Bob, Joe and Larry sold apples at the farmers market.

Bob sold 86 apples.

Joe sold 12 times as many as Bob.

Larry sold half as many apples as Joe.

Now, to find the total apples Bob, Joe and Larry they all sell together.

Number of apples Bob sold = 86.

Number of apples Joe sold = 12 times of 86.

$=12\times 86\\\\=1032.$

Number of apples Larry sold = $\frac{1}{2}\ of\ 1032$

$=\frac{1}{2} \times 1032$

$=516.$

Now, to get the apples they sell altogether we add the number of apples sold by Bob, by Joe and by Larry:

$86+1032+516$

$=1634.$

Therefore, altogether they sell 1634 apples.
