Answer:
1. 1/5
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is basically asking what each "y" is being multiplied to get the next "y".
2*1/5=2/5
2/5*1/5=2/25
2/25*1/5=2/125
We can chang efractions to compare them by multiplying them by 1 or x/x where x=x so
1/2=7/12?
make bottom numbers equal
2 times what=12
divide 2
what=6
1/2 times 6/6=6/12
6/12=7/12
6=7
false
so therefor it does NOT equal 7/12
Step-by-step explanation:
Pear cost=x
Orange cost=x-y
4 pears= 4x
6 oranges=6x-6y or x-y x6
Use ratio.
Pears: x cents
4 Pears: 6x cents
You x4 on each side. Same with oranges.
Orange: x-y
6 oranges: x-y x6
You x6 on each side.
(1/5) / 4.5 = 2 / m....1/5 mile to 4.5 minutes = 2 miles to m minutes
cross multiply
(1/5)(m) = (2)(4.5)
1/5m = 9
m = 9 * 5/1
m = 45 minutes <===
