Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

The numerator of a fraction is 5 less than its denominator.

If 3 is added to the numerator and denominator both , the fraction becomes 4/5.

To Find :-

The Original Number

Solution :-

Let denominator of the fraction be = x

And then numerator be x – 5

Original fraction = (x – 5)/x

According to the Question,

⇒  (x – 5 + 3)/(x + 3) = 4/5

⇒ (x – 2)/(x + 3) = 4/5

⇒ 5(x – 2) = 4x + 12

(By cross multiplication)

⇒ 5x – 10 = 4x + 12

⇒ 5x - 4x = 12 + 10

⇒ x = 22

Original fraction = (x – 5)/x

Original fraction  = (22 – 5)/22

Original fraction = 17/22

Hence, the original number is 17/22.

Answer:

c) 30

Step-by-step explanation:

since the lines are parallel, 75° = 2x + 15°

this is because when two parallels lines are intersected by the same line, all respective angles are equal. Also, opposite angles on a line are equal too.

So now that u have 75 = 2x + 15, just solve for x by simplifying:

75 = 2x + 15

60 = 2x

30 = x

so the answer is c) 30

hope this helps!

Circumference, radius, slant height, lateral area, and surface area are measurements of a cone. Given two of the measurements, f
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

  1. LA = 21.7 ft²; C = 18.8 ft; h = 2.3 ft
  2. h = 8 in; r = 7 in; SA = 330.1 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Applicable relations are ...

  C = 2πr . . . . . . . r = radius, C = circumference

  LA = 1/2·Ch . . . . h = slant height, LA = lateral area

  SA = πr² +LA . . . SA = total surface area

__

1. Given r and SA, we can find the other measures as ...

  LA = SA -πr² = 50 ft² -π(3 ft)² ≈ 21.7 ft²

  C = 2πr = 2π(3 ft) ≈ 18.8 ft

  h = 2·LA/C ≈ 2·21.7 ft²/(18.8 ft) ≈ 2.3 ft

(Please note that for calculations using intermediate results, we used the full-precision values of those results, not the rounded ones. Rounding is always the last operation. Please note, too, that we have used a value for π sufficient to ensure accuracy in all the digits shown here.)

__

2. Given C and LA, we can find the other measures as ...

  h = 2·LA/C = 2(176 in²)/(44 in) = 8 in

  r = C/(2π) = (44 in)/(2π) ≈ 7.0 in

  SA = LA +πr² = LA +rC/2 ≈ 176 in² +(7.0 in)(44 in)/2 ≈ 330.1 in²
