I believe the answer it 2! 50 is 1/5 of 250, 10 is 1/5 of 50, and 2 would be 1/5 of 10! I hope this helps!

$\huge \boxed{\mathfrak{Question} \downarrow}$

Factor each of the following differences of two squares and write your answer together with solution.

$\large \boxed{\mathbb{ANSWER\: WITH\: EXPLANATION} \downarrow}$

$\sf \: x ^ { 2 } - 36$

Rewrite $\sf\:x^{2}-36 as x^{2}-6^{2}$ . The difference of squares can be factored using the rule: $\sf\: a^{2}-b^{2}=\left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right)$ .

$\boxed{ \boxed{ \bf\left(x-6\right)\left(x+6\right) }}$

$\sf \: 49 - x ^ { 2 }$

Rewrite 49-x² as 7²-x². The difference of squares can be factored using the rule: $\sf\:a^{2}-b^{2}=\left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right)$ .

$\sf \: \left(7-x\right)\left(7+x\right)$

Reorder the terms.

$\boxed{ \boxed{ \bf\left(-x+7\right)\left(x+7\right) }}$

Rewrite 81-c²as 9²-c². The difference of squares can be factored using the rule: $\sf\:a^{2}-b^{2}=\left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right)$ .

$\sf\left(9-c\right)\left(9+c\right)$

Reorder the terms.

$\boxed{ \boxed{ \bf\left(-c+9\right)\left(c+9\right) }}$

Vondra wants to buy a charm bracelet. Oak Grove Fine Jewelry charges $16 per charm, plus $53 for the bracelet. Sandoval Jewelers

AveGali [126]

Answer:

The bracelet will cost 85$ and it'll have 2 charms.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the total cost of the bracelet and how many charms it'd be we need to build an equation for each store. So we have:

Oak Grove:

total cost = 16*charm + 53

Sandoval:

total cost = 27*charm + 31

We then find the number of charm that'll make them equal, since the price has to be the same on both shops:

16*charm + 53 = 27*charm + 31

27*charm - 16*charm = 53 - 31

11*charm = 22

charm = 2

The cost of the bracellet is:

total cost = 27*2 + 31 = 85 $

Which number should follow in this series: 64/64 9/12 6/12

zheka24 [161]

Answer: $\frac{1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

You can reduce the fractions, then:

$\frac{64}{64}=1$

$\frac{9}{12}=\frac{3}{4}$

$\frac{6}{12}=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}$

Rewrite them as following:

$1,\frac{3}{4},\frac{1}{2}$

If you subtract the first number and the second number, you obtain:

$1-\frac{3}{4}=\frac{1}{4}$

If you subtract the second number and the second number, you obtain:

$\frac{3}{4}-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{4}$

Therefore, you must subtract $\frac{1}{2}$ and $\frac{1}{4}$ to obtain the number asked. Then, this is:

$\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{4}$

When multiplying and dividing two numbers in scientific notation, why do u sometimes have to rewrite one factor ?

zalisa [80]

You sometimes need to rewrite a factor because the lead number is not between 1 and 10 as it needs to be in scientific notation. For instance, if we had lead numbers of 2 and 5, as we do in the following problem.

2x10^3 * 5x10^9

Then we get the answer of 10x10^12. We need to adjust this by moving the decimal place and increasing the exponent by 1. The correct answer would be 1x10^13 instead.
