Answer:

10 and 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Case 1:

20 and 2

20 = 2^2 x 5

2 = 2^1

=> LCM = 2^2 x 5 = 20 (not 40)

=> Incorrect pair of numbers

Case 2:

10 and 8

10 = 2 x 5

8 = 2^3

=> LCM = 2^3 x 5 = 40

=> GCF = 2

=> Correct pair of numbers

Case 3:

10 and 4

10 = 2 x 5

4 = 2^2

=> LCM = 2^2 x 5 = 20 (not 40)

=> Incorrect pair of numbers

Case 4:

8 and 5

8 = 2^3

5 = 5 x 1

=> GCF = 1 (not 2)

=> Incorrect pair of numbers

Hope this helps!

Find the midpoint of the segment with the given endpoints.<br> (7,10) and (-1,- 8)

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

(3,1) is the midpoint

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x coordinate of the midpoint, average the x coordinates of the endpoints

(7+-1)/2 = 6/2 =3

To find the y coordinate of the midpoint, average the y coordinates of the endpoints

(10+-8)/2 = 2/2 = 1

(3,1) is the midpoint

Which is the value of this expression when a=-2 and b=-3

Lerok [7]

Answer:

$\frac{729}{64}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

$(\frac{3a^{-3}b^{2} }{2a^{-1} b^{0} } )^{2}$

Where $a=-2$ and $b=-3$ .

When we say "evaluate the expression" refers to replacing the given values in the expression. Then, we solve each power in the numerator and denominator. After that, we solve each product in the fraction. At the end, we apply the square power. As follows

$(\frac{3a^{-3}b^{2} }{2a^{-1} b^{0} } )^{2}=(\frac{3(-2)^{-3}(-3)^{2} }{2(-2)^{-1} (-3)^{0} } )^{2}=(\frac{3(\frac{1}{-8})(9)}{2(\frac{1}{-2} (1))} )^{2} =(\frac{-\frac{27}{8} }{-1} )^{2} =\frac{27^{2} }{8^{2} } =\frac{729}{64}$

A recipe calls for a total of 3 2/3 cup flour and sugar.if the recipe calls for 1/4 cups of sugar,how much flour does he need

viva [34]

You'll want to convert 3 2/3 into a common denominator with 1/4.
The nearest common denominator of 3 and 4 is 12.
1/4 * 3/3 = 3/12
2/3 * 4/4 = 8/12
You need 3 and 8/12 in total so subtract 3/12 from 3 8/12 to get the flour
3 8/12 - 3/12 = 3 5/12.
You would need 3 5/12 cups of flour.
