Answer:

a = 64

Step-by-step explanation:

The geometric mean of 2 numbers a and b is \sqrt{ab} , then

\sqrt{28a} = 16\sqrt{7} ( square both sides )

28a = (16\sqrt{7} )² = 1792 ( divide both sides by 28 )

a = 64

Answer:

a = 64

Step-by-step explanation:

The geometric mean for two numbers is given by :

GM = sqrt(ab)

16 sqrt(7) = sqrt(a*28)

Square each side

(16 sqrt(7))^2 = (sqrt(a*28))^2

256*7 = 28a

1792 = 28a

Divide each side by 28

1792/28 = 28a/28

64 = a

I need to write a decimal where the value of a digit is 1/10 as much as a digit in another place
KengaRu [80]
1/10 is the same as saying 10 times less

Refer to the diagram below
The digit as the first decimal place is worth 1/10
The digit as the second decimal place is worth 1/100 which is 1/10 worth the digit as the first decimal place

Example of two decimal numbers:

2.56 and 2.68

The digit 6 in 2.56 is 6/100
The digit 6 in 2.68 is 6/10

The digit 6 in 2.56 is 1/10 as much as the digit 6 in 2.68
