3 0

Answer:

3 of the DVDs were documentaries.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that at first, there were 15 DVDs in total.

Now, we need to find how much 1/5 of 15 DVDs were equal to.

1/5 of 15 is equal to the number 3.

So, that means our answer is 3 of the DVDs are documentaries.

Hope this helps.

Find the reciprocal of 3/5
Kisachek [45]
The reciprocal of 3/5 is 5/3.

To get the reciprocal of a fraction, just turn it upside down.

A fraction has a numerator, top number, and a denominator, bottom number.
To get the reciprocal of a fraction, just swap over the numerator and denominator.

If whole numbers, to get the reciprocal of whole number, just divide the whole number by 1 to make it into a fraction, then get the reciprocal of that fraction.

the scale from a square exercise mat in a gymnastic arena to a scale copy of the exercise mat is 8 m for every 2 in. The actual
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer: 18 and 36

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale is 8m for every 2 in and the actual area is 144m2 so we need to covert that into inches. You divide 144 by 8 which = 18 and then multiply 18 x 2 which is equal to 36.

What is a necessary step for constructing perpendicular lines through a point off the line?
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Find another point on the perpendicular line.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given an original line "m", and a point off the line "Q", in order to construct a second line "p", meant to be perpendicular to "m" through the point "Q", fundamentally, the only truly necessary step to construct a perpendicular line through is to find another point on the yet-to-be-found perpendicular line.

Most often, this is accomplished by exploiting the fact that "p" is the set of all points that are equidistant from any pair of points that are symmetric about "p".

Since the symmetry must be about "p", and we don't even know where "p" is, one often finds two points on "m" that are equidistant from "Q".

This can be accomplished by adjusting a compass to a fixed radius (larger than the distance from "Q" to "m"), and making an arc that intersects "m" in two places.  Those two places will be equidistant from "Q", and are simultaneously on line "m".  Thus, these two points, "A" & "B" are symmetric about "p".

Since "A" & "B" are symmetric about "p", they are equidistant from "p", and are on "m".  One could try to find the point of intersection between "p" and "m" through construction, but this is unnecessary.  We need only find a second point (besides "Q") that is equidistant from "A" & "B", which will necessarily be a point on "p", to form the line perpendicular to "m".

To do this, fix the compass with any radius, and from "A" make a large arc generally in the direction of "B", and make the same radius arc from "B" in the direction of "A" such that the two arcs intersect at some point that isn't "Q".  This point of intersection we can call point "T", and the line QT is line "p", the line perpendicular to the original line, necessarily containing "Q".
