What is the square root of 64 over 225 with a negative outside of the radical?
irinina [24]
The square root of  (64/225)  is the same as  √64 / √225 . 
That could make the whole thing easier.

Do you know what either of those separate square roots is ?

You're right !    I'm so impressed!
The square root of  64  IS  8, and the square root of  225 surely is  15 .
You really know your stuff !

So now, the expression is  √64 / √225  =  <em>8 / 15</em> .

Oh, I almost forgot, it has a negative sign before it.  OK,so the answer is <em>- 8/15</em> .

25 is 45% of what number
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer: 55.56

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the unknown number be k

(45 x k) / 100 = 25

45k/100 = 25

multiply both sides by 100

45k = 25 x 100

45k = 2500

divide both sides by 45

k = 2500/45

k = 55.56

Explain how to solve the equation by reasoning about numbers, operations, and expressions. Do NOT use standard algebraic equatio
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

x=924

Step-by-step explanation:

348 + 926 = x + 350

we have two 2-terms additions in both sides of the equation.

348 and 350 are two <em>similar</em> numbers then x and 926 should be really <em>close</em> numbers.

(due to commutative property of additions 348 + 926 = 350 + x)

<em>since 348 has two units less than 350, then 926 must have two units more than x, and <u>x=924</u></em>

(indirect proportionality)

X^2 / y^1 when x=10 and y=5
ASHA 777 [7]

X = 20 and Y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

you're supposed to substitute the numbers it so the problem x * 2 also means 10 * 2 because x = 10 and y * 1 also means 5 * 1 because y = 5
