Answer:

<em>a:b:c=8:12:15</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Combined Ratio</u>

We are given the ratios:

a:b=2:3

b:c=4:5

The combined ratio a:b:c will include all three variables in one single expression.

Before finding it, we must have a common number for the common variable (b). Since b is 3 in the first ratio and 4 in the second ratio, we must equate both by finding the LCM of 3 and 4=12, thus both ratios will be amplified as follows:

a:b=2:3=(2*4):(3*4)=8:12

b:c=4:5=(4*3):(5*3)=12:15

Now there is a common factor in both ratios, we can combine them removing the common factor:

a:b:c=8:12:15

How do you do this? Thanks for your time and effort!

Well first you have to simplify the denominators with x, by multiplying the denominator on the left times the top and bottom of the middle, and vice versa to get 10x/(4x^2-4x)-9(2x-2)/(4x^2-4x)=-1/4 and then you combine the fractions on the left to get 2(9-4x)/(4x^2-4x)=-1/4 and then you cross multiply the fractions to get 8(9-4x)=-4x^2+4x and then simplify to get 72-32x=-4x^2+4x and then 4x^2-36x+72=0 which then we can turn into 4(x-6)(x-3)=0 so x is 6 and 3

What is the value of the expression?<br> 2 1/4 divided by 1 2/5
ad-work [718]

Answer:

45/28

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert them to mixed fractions

(2 * 4 + 1) / 4 ÷ (1 * 5 + 2) / 5

8 + 1 / 4 ÷ 5 + 2 / 5

9/4 ÷ 7/5

Flip the second fraction and flip the sign - to multiply.

9/4 × 5/7

9 × 5 = 45

4 × 7 = 28

45/28

This could be left as a fraction or converted to a number:
