Answer:

9/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the fraction a/b, the reciprocal is expressed as 1/(a/b) = b/a

For 1/4;

1/4

= 1÷1/4

= 1 * 4/1

= 4

Hence the reciprocal is 4

b) 8/9

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

$V = \frac{4}{3} \pi R^{3}$ and

$v = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Dawn wants to compare the volume of a basketball with the volume of a tennis ball.

Now, if the radius of the basketball is R and that of the tennis ball is r, then the formula that can be used to determine the volume of each ball will be

$V = \frac{4}{3} \pi R^{3}$ and

$v = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}$

Now, dividing V by v we can compare the volume of the basketball and the tennis ball. (Answer)

Two lighthouses flash their lights every 20 and 30 seconds respectively. given that they flash together at 8 p.m., at what time

VikaD [51]

Do you remember when you were learning about
Least Common Multiple (LCM) ? And you were
wondering what on Earth you would ever need it for ?

THIS IS IT !

The amount of time after 8 PM when the lights will flash
together again is the LCM of 20 seconds and 30 seconds.
Do you remember how to find it ?

... When 20 is prime-factored, you have 2 · 2 · 5 .

... When 30 is prime-factored, you have 2 · 3 · 5 .

... So the Least Common Multiple of 20 and 30 is 2 · 2 · 3 · 5 = 60 .

The lighthouses will flash together again in 60 seconds after 8 PM.
That'll be 8:01 PM.
