Answer:

45/4

Step-by-step explanation:

We can interpret the question to have two equation which can be solve simultaneously

a+b=7------------(1)

a-b=2------------(2)

From eqn(2) make a subject of formula

a=2+b--------(3)

Substitute the (3) into eqn(1)

a+b=7------------(1)

2+b+b=7

2b=7-2

2b=5

b=5/2

From equation (3) substitute value of b to find a

a=2+b--------(3)

a= 2+5/2

a=9/2

Then What is the value of a x b ?

9/2× 5/2

=45/4

Because of a problem in the program, the timer in a video player did not begin counting until the video had been playing for sev
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

105 frames

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

At 0 seconds, the video had already played 190 frames and there are 25 frames being played per second.

When the time is equal to 3 \dfrac{2}{5}, the number of frames that are already being played is:

= 3 \dfrac{2}{5} \times 25

=  \dfrac{17}{5} \times 25

= 17 × 5

= 85 frames.

But recall that, the frames had already played 190 frames at 0 seconds, then the number of frames that had already been played when the time is equal to 3 \dfrac{2}{5} is;

=(190 - 85) frames

= 105 frames

Put 50%, 2/25, 5, and 0.31 in order from greatest to least
storchak [24]

Answer:

5,50\%,0.31,\frac{2}{25}

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

50%, 2/25, 5, and 0.31

1) 50%

we know that

50\%=\frac{50}{100}

2) 2/25

Multiply by 4/4

\frac{4}{4}(\frac{2}{25})=\frac{8}{100}

3) 5

Multiply by 100/100

\frac{100}{100}(5)=\frac{500}{100}

4) 0.31

Multiply by 100/100

\frac{100}{100}(0.31)=\frac{31}{100}

Now all numbers have the same denominator

so

\frac{500}{100}> \frac{50}{100}>\frac{31}{100}>\frac{8}{100}

therefore

5 > 50\%>0.31>\frac{2}{25}

5,50\%,0.31,\frac{2}{25}
