Answer:
24
Step-by-step explanation:
Here's how we construct the LCD:
Factor the denominators 6 and 8: 6 = 2*3 and 8 = 2*2*2
The LCD involves 2*2*2 as well as 3:
LCD: 2*2*2*3 = 24. Note that 24 is divisible by both 6 and 8. There is no smaller LCD that is divisible by 6 and 8 both.
Solve for p:
p/8 + 3/8 = 25/8
p/8 + 3/8 = (p + 3)/8:
(p + 3)/8 = 25/8
Multiply both sides of (p + 3)/8 = 25/8 by 8:
(8 (p + 3))/8 = (8×25)/8
(8×25)/8 = (8×25)/8:
(8 (p + 3))/8 = (8×25)/8
(8 (p + 3))/8 = 8/8×(p + 3) = p + 3:p + 3 = (8×25)/8
(8×25)/8 = 8/8×25 = 25:
p + 3 = 25
Subtract 3 from both sides:
p + (3 - 3) = 25 - 3
3 - 3 = 0:
p = 25 - 3
25 - 3 = 22:
Answer: p = 22
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the law of sines, we can make a proportion.
But first, we'll need to solve for the unknown angle.
We add up the two known angles and subtract that by 180.
90 + 41 = 131
180 - 131 = 49
So the unknown angles is 49.
Then, we can use the law of sines.
Make the equation.
sin(90)/55 = sin(49)/x
Simplify this using a calculator and you get around 41.51 or option B.
Answer: 9/40
Step-by-step explanation: To write a percent as a fraction in lowest terms, remember that a percent is a ratio that compares a number to 100.
So here, 22.5% can be written as the ratio 22.5 to 100 or 22.5/100.
Notice however that 22.5/100 is not in lowest terms so we need to multiply the numerator and the denominator of 22.5 by 10 in order to remove the decimal point. When we do this, we will end up with the fraction 225/1000.
The fraction 225/1000 can be written in lowest terms by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 25 and we get the fraction 9/40.
Therefore, 22.5% can be written as the fraction 9/40.
