Answer:

2 : 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the first number and let y represent the second number.

Therefore the initial sum of the numbers = x + y

Given that the first number is increased by 30%, it becomes = x + 30% of x = x + 0.3x = 1.3x.

Also, the second number is increased by 80%, it becomes = y + 80% of y = y + 0.8y = 1.8y.

The sum of this increased numbers is 1.6 times larger than the initial sum. That is:

1.3x + 1.8y = 1.6(x + y)

1.3x + 1.8y = 1.6x + 1.6y

1.8y - 1.6y = 1.6x - 1.3x

0.2y = 0.3x

The ratio of the first number to the second number (that is x / y) is:

0.3x = 0.2y

Divide through by 0.3y:

0.3x / 0.3y = 0.2y / 0.3y

x / y = 0.2 / 0.3

x / y = 2 / 3

x : y = 2 : 3

Convert the fraction 7 24 into a repeating decimal.
goldenfox [79]
\dfrac7{24}=\dfrac6{24}+\dfrac1{24}=\dfrac14+\dfrac1{24}

\dfrac1{24}=\dfrac1{8\time3}=\dfrac a8+\dfrac b3=\dfrac{3a+8b}{24}
\implies3a+8b=1

We can choose a=-1 and b=\dfrac12, so that

\dfrac1{24}=-\dfrac18+\dfrac16

Recalling that \dfrac13=0.333\ldots, it follows that \dfrac16=0.166\ldots. So,

\dfrac1{24}=0.125+0.166\ldots=0.04166\ldots
\implies\dfrac7{24}=0.25+0.4166\ldots=0.29166\ldots

3. Find a in the given figure.​
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles a and b are opposite, so they are equal. The same is true for angles O and 3b.

So, the four angles are actually (starting from the left and going clockwise) 3b,b,3b,b

These four angles sum up to 360, so we have

3b+b+3b+b =8b = 360 \iff b = \dfrac{360}{8} = 45

And since a and b were the same, a is also 45 degrees.
