Answer:

9:1

Step-by-step explanation:

Try to reduce the ratio further with the greatest common factor (GCF).

The GCF of 72 and 8 is 8

Divide both terms by the GCF, 8:

72 ÷ 8 = 9

8 ÷ 8 = 1

The ratio 72 : 8 can be reduced to lowest terms by dividing both terms by the GCF = 8 :

72 : 8 = 9 : 1

Therefore:

72 : 8 = 9 : 1

Given the graph below, which of the following points would be included in the graph of the inverse of the function?

Svetlanka [38]

Answer : (1,-1)

a line through the points (-1, 1), (0, 2), (1, 3)

To find the point in the graph of inverse function we interchange x and y values

For point (-1 , 1) , the point on inverse function is (1, -1)

For point (0 , 2) , the point on inverse function is (2, 0)

For point (1 , 3) , the point on inverse function is (3, 1)

so (1,-1) will be included in the graph of the inverse of the function

A coach purchases 47 hats for his players and their families at a total cost of $302. The cost of a small hat is $5.50. A medium

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of small hat purchased, y represent the number of medium hat purchased and z represent the number of large hat purchased.

Since a total of 47 hats where purchased, hence:

x + y + z = 47 (1)

Also, he spent a total of $302, hence:

5.5x + 6y + 7z = 302 (2)

He purchases three times as many medium hats as small hats, hence:

y = 3x

-x + 3y = 0 (3)

Represent equations 1, 2 and 3 in matrix form gives:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1\\5.5&6&7\\-3&1&0\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{c}47\\302\\0\end{array}\right] \\\\\\\\ \left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1\\5.5&6&7\\-3&1&0\end{array}\right] ^{-1} \left[\begin{array}{c}47\\302\\0\end{array}\right] \\\\\\ \left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{c}6\\18\\23\end{array}\right]$

Therefore he purchases 6 small hats, 18 medium hats and 23 large hats

I need help!!!! Evaluate 4/7 + 8/3 in fraction form

Reptile [31]

Answer:

3 5/21.
68/21

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

4/7 + 8/3

Solve:

4/7 + 8/3
= 12/21 + 56/21
= $\frac{12 + 56}{21 + 0}$
= 3 5/21.
= 68/21.
