Answer:
40:70 becomes 20:35 which becomes 4: 7.
The answer is 4:7
Step-by-step explanation:
It's undefined, but I think you spelled it wrong.
As a decimal 4/15 = 0.2666667
As a decimal 3/10 = 0.3 [talk about close]
3/10 is bigger.
You could take an average to find something between 4/15 and 3/10
1/2(4/15 + 2/10)
1/2(8/30 + 6/30)
1/2(14/30)
1/2(7/15)
7/30 is between the two given numbers..
Discussion
The discriminate is b^2 - 4*a*c
The general equation for a quadratic is ax^2 + bx + c
In this equation's case
a = 1
b= -5
c = - 3
Solve
(-5)^2 - 4*(1)*(-3)
25 - (-12)
25 + 12
37
Note
Since the discriminate is > 0, the roots are real and different. The roots do exist and there are 2 of them.
I saw the image that should have been posted with this word problem.
The rolls of wrapping paper is cylindrical in shape.
Roll A : length = 30 inches ; diameter = 3 inches
Roll B : length = 24 inches ; diameter = unknown
Lateral surface area = 2 π r h
Lateral Surface area of Roll A = Lateral Surface area of Roll B
2 * 3.14 * 1.5in * 30in = 2 * 3.14 * r * 24 in
282.60 in² = 150.72 in * r
282.60 in² / 150.72 in = r
1.875 in = r
diameter is 2 times the radius = 1.875 in * 2 = 3.75 inches
The diameter of Roll B is 3.75 inches.
