Do the ratios 4ft./6ft. and 12sec/18sec form a proportion? Why or why not?

Mathematics

Answer:

Yes! There are 3 different explanations I have. Pick your favorite.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we are asked to see if the following equation holds:

\frac{4 \text{ ft }}{6 \text{ ft}}=\frac{12 \text{ sec }}{18 \text{sec}}

The units cancel out ft/ft=1 and sec/sec=1.

So we are really just trying to see if 4/6 is equal to 12/18

Or you could cross multiply and see if the products are the same on both sides:

\frac{4}{6}=\frac{12}{18}

Cross multiply:

4(18)=6(12)

72=72

Since you have the same thing on both sides then the ratios given were proportional.

OR!

Put 4/6 and 12/18 in your calculator.  They both come out to have the same decimal expansion of .66666666666666666(repeating) so the ratios gives are proportional.

OR!

Reduce 12/18 and reduce 4/6 and see if the reduced fractions are same.

12/18=2/3  (I divided top and bottom by 6)

4/6=2/3  (I divided top and bottom by 2)

They are equal to the same reduced fraction so they are proportional.

No.

\sqrt{45}=3\sqrt{5}  \\2\sqrt{20} =2\sqrt5}

If you add them up you DO NOT GET 5\sqrt{5}. According to mathematics, it equals to 7\sqrt{5}.

Find the number of letters from the word MAXIMUM where two consonants cannot occur. (Permutation)​
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

4!

Step-by-step explanation:

In word MAXIMUM, consonants are M & X. According to the question itself, consonants should not occur together.

So, we have to put vowels at each even position; only then the condition will be satisfied.

We can put this in 3! ways (permutations of A, I & U).  

For odd positions we can put 3-M's & a X. Total ways is 4!/3!   (as repetitions of M).

Hence, the answer is 4!/3! x 3! = 24 ways.  

24=4!.
