Answer:

They are equal

Step-by-step explanation:

When we simplify 9/2 and divide, we get the answer 4.5, which is equal to 4.5. Therefore, neither number is larger and they are equal, just written in different ways.

I hope this helps!

Answer:

Both are equal

4.5 = 9/2

4.5 = 4.5

Hope it will help :)

A chemist is using 351 millimeters of a solution of acid and water. If 18.2% of the solution is acid, how many milliliters of ac

Zolol [24]

Answer:

The % of of acid in solution = 63.88 ml

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution of acid and water = 351 milliliters

The % of of acid in solution = 18.2% of 351 ml

Or, The % of of acid in solution = $\frac{18.2}{100}$ × 351 ml

Or, The % of of acid in solution = 63.882 ml

Hence ,The % of of acid in solution = 63.88 ml Answer

Consider the equality xy k. Write the following inverse proportion: y is inversely proportional to x. When y = 12, x=5.

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

$y=\dfrac {60} {x}$ or $xy=60$ (depending on your teacher's format preference)

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3><u>Proportionality background</u></h3>

Proportionality is sometimes called "variation". (ex. " 'y' varies inversely as 'x' ")

There are two main types of proportionality/variation:

Direct
Inverse.

Every proportionality, regardless of whether it is direct or inverse, will have a constant of proportionality (I'm going to call it "k").

Below are several different examples of both types of proportionality, and how they might be stated in words:

$y=kx$ y is directly proportional to x
$y=kx^2$ y is directly proportional to x squared
$y=kx^3$ y is directly proportional to x cubed
$y=k\sqrt{x}}$ y is directly proportional to the square root of x
$y=\dfrac {k} {x}$ y is inversely proportional to x
$y=\dfrac {k} {x^2}$ y is inversely proportional to x squared

From these examples, we see that two things:

things that are <u>directly proportional</u> -- the thing is <u>multipli</u>ed to the constant of proportionality "k"
things that are <u>inversely proportional</u> -- the thing is <u>divide</u>d from the constant of proportionality "k".

<h3><u>Looking at our question</u></h3>

In our question, y is inversely proportional to x, so the equation we're looking at is the following $y=\dfrac {k} {x}$ .

It isn't yet clear what the constant of proportionality "k" is for this situation, but we are given enough information to solve for it: "When y=12, x=5."

We can substitute this known relationship pair, and find the "k" that relates this pair of numbers:

<h3><u>Solving for k, and finding the general equation</u></h3>

General Inverse variation equation...

$y=\dfrac {k} {x}$

Substituting known values...

$(12)=\dfrac {k} {(5)}$

Multiplying both sides by 5...

$(12)*5= \left ( \dfrac {k} {5} \right ) *5$

Simplifying/arithmetic...

$60=k$

So, for our situation, k=60. So the inverse proportionality relationship equation for this situation is $y=\dfrac {60} {x}$ .

The way your question is phrased, they may prefer the form: $xy=60$

Find the sum of the first 40 terms of a geometric sequence where the first term is 16 and the common ratio is 1.1. 704 7,081.480

Lilit [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of a geometric progression can be determined by using the formula:

Tn=arn−1

where: a = first term and r = common ratio

Substitute the given values of first term and common ratio into the formula:

Tn=arn−1

T5=(40)(0.5)5−1

T5=(40)(0.5)4

T5=(40)(0.0625)

T5=2.5

So maybe it’s 5, it’s equivalent to the side with 6, just shorter
