Answer:
Step-by-step explanation
You must find the common denominator for all of them.
A is correct. 13 x 2 is 26 and 14 x 2 is 28. Therefore, 13/14 is greater than 25/28.
B is not correct. 4 x 5 is 20 and 9 x 5 is 45. 4/9 is actually less than 21/45.
C is not correct. 5 x 2 is 10 and 6 x 2 is 12. 5/6 is actually less than 11/12.
D is not correct. 4 x 5 is 20 and 5 x 5 is 25. 4/5 is actually less than 8/25.
Answer: Exactly square root 58 inches
Step-by-step explanation: The dimensions given for the right angled triangle are 7 inches and 3 inches respectively. The third side is yet unknown. However what we know is that a right angled triangle can be solved by using the Pythagoras theorem which states that,
AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2
Where AC is the longest side. The question requires us to calculate the longest side and with the other two sides already known, the Pythagoras theorem now becomes,
AC^2 = 7^2 + 3^2
AC^2 = 49 + 9
AC^2 = 58
Add the square root sign to both sides of the equation
AC = square root 58 inches
Let x be the months and y be the cost.
Rate of increase of commodity A = 6/3 = $2 per month
Equation:
y = 2x + 4500
Rate of increase of commodity B = 2/4 = $0.5 per month
Equation:
y = 0.5x + 5400
Equating the costs,
2x + 4500 = 0.5x + 5400
1.5x = 900
x = 600 months
x = 600 / 12 = 50 years
