Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a question worth knowing how to do. It is prime candidate for a test question.

Equation

Let the unit be x

therefore

4x + 5x + 6x = 45

Solution

15x = 45

x = 45/15

x = 3

The shortest piece is 4*3 = 12

The middle piece = 5*3   = 15

The longest piece = 6*3 = 18

Total                                    45

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

So 4:5:6 = 45

4+5+6 = 15

45/15 = 3

Since 4 is the smallest, 4*3 = 12.

Hope this works!

If you roll a fair six-sided die and a fair four-sided die, what is the probability that the dice add to 7?
sveticcg [70]

1/6.

For any given roll on a four-sided die, there is exactly one roll on a six-sided die (1/6 chance) which will sum to 7.

Since it doesn’t matter what you roll on the four-sided die, the chance is always 1/6 with a fair six-sided die.

One interesting result of this is that only the 6-sided die has the be fair for this result to hold. The 4-sided die can be very biased in any direction and the final result will still be 1/6.

What are the common factors of 18 and 30? What do they represent?
Zolol [24]
Factor out 18.

The factors for 18 are as listed:

1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18

Now factor out 30.

The factors for 30 are as listed:

1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30

Now look at the factors that are both factors for 18 and 30.

So, the common factors are 2, 3, and 6.

mayflies can live at the bottom of lakes for 2 to 3 years before they become winged adults.Mayflies are between 4/10 inches and
Airida [17]

To simplify any fraction, look for a common factor in the top number
and the bottom number.  If you find one, divide the top and bottom
both by their common factor.  Eventually, you reach the point where
their only common factor is ' 1 ' ... that's when it's in simplest form.

4  and  10  both have  2  as a factor. 

When you divide top and bottom both by  2,  you have  2/5 .
This is the simplest form of  4/10 .

None of this has anything to do with mayflies.  You can use the same
process to simplify fractions in ANY situation where fractions arise.
