Answer:

4.95m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of longer and shorter pipe be x and y respectively..

given,

x/y=9/2...(i)

x-1.65=3y ...(ii)

in eqn ii..

x-1.65=3y

or, x/y - 1.65/y = 3

or, 9/2-1.65/y =3

or, 4.5-3 = 1.65/y

or, y=1.65/1.5

•°• y = 1.1m

now,

x/y = 9/2

or, x/1.1 = 4.5

x= 4.5×1.1

•°• x= 4.95m

thus, the length of the longer pipe is 4.95m

What's bigger 9/10 or 4/5

ch4aika [34]

To be able to compare 2 fraciton we have to make common denominator and then we can just compare numerators.
$\frac{4}{5}= \frac{4*2}{5*2}= \frac{8}{10}$
Now we can compare numerator from the first (9) and from the second fraction (8)
9>8, so the bigger is 9/10

I turn my dial on my stove 45degrees from the start position if i continue to turn the dial, how many degrees further will i nww

AveGali [126]

Answer:

315 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that the dial is a perfect circle and therefore makes a full 360 degree rotation. If the dial is already turned 45 degrees, the rotation angle required to return all the way to the initial position is:

$A = 360 - 45\\A=315\ degrees$
