Why isnt 16:14 equivlant to 64:60

Mathematics
1 answer:
nordsb [41]3 years ago
4 0

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.

A druggist has two mixtures of a certain chemical and water, one containing 10% of the chemical and the other containing 40% of
satela [25.4K]
Let x be the amount of the solution containing 10% of the chemical. Then, the solution with 40% chemical becomes 10 - x. The equation for balancing the chemical content of the solution is,
0.10x + 0.40(10 - x) = 0.25(10)
The value of x is 5. Hence, the druggist should mix 5 ounces of each. There are 2.5 ounces of chemical in the final mixture.

What is a good comparison of the estimated sum and the actual sum of 7 9/12+2 11/12
earnstyle [38]
10 8/12 because you get an improper fraction when you add 9/12 and 11/12 (20/12) so you see how many times 12 goes into 20 which is only once. you see how many are left over from when you take 12 from 20. then you have you fraction which is 8/12. now you have to add the numbers which is 7+2=9 but 12 goes into 20 once so you add 1 to your number to make it 10. That's the answer, 10 8/12.

Help Please<br> Find The Surface Area Of The Prism
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

360 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the area of each face of the triangular prism.

Imagine the triangular prism as its net, it is composed with 2 triangular faces (these are tye bases of the prism) and 3 rectangular faces.

Areas of the 2 triangular bases (they are similar triangles):

1/2 x 8 cm x 6 cm = 24 cm^2

24 x 2 = 48 cm^2

Area of the rectangular face:

8 x 13 = 104 cm^2

Area of another rectangular face:

6 cm x 13 cm = 78 cm^2

Area of another rectangular face:

13 cm x 10 cm = 130 cm^2

Add up all the areas of all faces:

48 + 104 + 78 + 130 = 360

So the SA is 360 cm^2
