<em>The other no. is:</em>

<u><em>32</em></u>

<em>As you can see that in the ratio given, </em><em>3</em><em> is the smaller no. and </em><em>12</em><em> too.</em>

<em>So when we divide </em><em>12 </em><em>by </em><em>3</em><em>, we get </em><u><em>4 </em></u>

<em>Then to find the other no. we need to multiply </em><em>4</em><em> with </em><em>8</em><em> (which is the other no.          in the ratio given)</em>

<em>Therefore, we get the other no. as </em><u><em>32</em></u>

<em>And also when you divide </em><em>12</em><em> by </em><em>32</em><em>, </em>

<em>You get the answer as </em><u><em>3</em></u><u><em> by </em></u><u><em>8</em></u><em> </em><em>(which is the given ratio) </em>

<em />

<em>Hope you found this helpful!</em>

<em>THANK YOU!!</em>

What is the correct radical form of this expression
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

The answer is choice A and here's why

The 2/5 outer most exponent means that we can break it down into 2*(1/5). The 2 is going to apply as an exponent for the whole parenthesis group. The 1/5 indicates we have a 5th root (similar to a square root or cube root,but instead of 2 or 3, it's 5)

Aaron tracks the time it takes him to mow lawns by writing coordinate points relating x, the time in hours it takes to mow a law
NARA [144]

Answer:

Slope of this line is given by:

<em>Aaron’s rate for mowing lawns is 0.5 acres per hour</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that time is tracked by Aaron related to x coordinate.

and the area of land mowed in acres is related to y coordinate.

Two of his points are given as:

(3, 1.5) and (5,2.5)

We know that the coordinates are represented in the form of (x,y)

i.e. first coordinate represents x coordinate and

second coordinate represents y coordinate.

So, it can be observed that:

x_1=3, y_1=1.5\\x_2=5, y_2=2.5

Change in x coordinate = x_2-x_1=5-3 = 2

i.e. total time taken is 2 hours.

Change in y coordinate = y_2-y_1=2.5-1.5 = 1

i.e. total land mowed taken is 1 acre.

In other words, <em>it takes 2 hours for Aaron to mow 1 acre of land.</em>

So, "option 1)  It takes Aaron about 1 hour to mow 2 acres." is incorrect.

<u>Rate of mowing</u> lawn is the <em>land mowed by Aaron in 1 hour</em>.

Land mowed in 2 hours = 1 acre

Land mowed in 1 hours = \frac{1}{2} acre i.e. 0.5 acre

Also, slope of a line is given as:

m = \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Here y_2 - y_1 = 1

x_2 - x_1 = 2

As per formula:

m = \dfrac{1}{2} = 0.5

So, option 2) Aaron’s rate for mowing lawns is 0.5 acres per hour.

Find the length of side x in simplest radical form with rational denominator. the short leg is root 2 and the long leg is x we d
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

√2 + x

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain the hypotenus, h:

Using Pythagoras rule :

h² = opposite² + Adjacent²

Opposite = √2

Adjacent= x

h² = (√2)² + x²

Take the square root of both sides

h = √2 + x

Hence, the hypotenus is √2 + x
