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:

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

The perimeter of a rectangular field is 84 yards. The ratio of the length to the width is 2:1. What are the length, width and ar

Ivenika [448]

Given:

the perimeter of a rectangular field is 84 yards
the ratio of the length to the width is 2:1

To find:

the length
the width
the area

Answer:

Let's assume that the length is 2x and the width is 1x.

We know that the formula to find the perimeter of a rectangle is as follows:

Perimeter = 2 × (Length + Width)

Substituting the values that we have, into the formula above,

84 = 2 × (2x + 1x)

84 = 2 × 3x

84/2 = 3x

42 = 3x

x = 42/3

x = 14

Since we know the value of 'x', let's use it to find the length and the width.

Length = 2x = 2 × 14 = 28

Width = 1x = 1 × 14 = 14

Since we now know the length and the width, let's find the area of the rectangle.

The formula to find the area of a rectangle:

Area = Length × Width

Substituting the values we have into the formula,

Area = 28 × 14

Area = 392

Therefore, the area of the rectangle is 392 square yards.

Hope it helps. :)

X - x-2/6 = x-7/3 + 2/3

elena-s [515]

X-x-2/6=x-7/3+2/3
-2/6+7/3-2/3=x
x= -2/6+5/3
x= 8/6
x= 4/3

Which of the following is an extraneous solution of (45-3x)^1/2=x-9?

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

C. x =3

Step-by-step explanation:

Extraneous solution is that root of a transformed equation that doesn't satisfy the equation in it's original form because it was excluded from the domain of the original equation.

Let's solve the equation first

$\sqrt{45-3x} = x-9\\Taking\ square\ on\ both\ sides\\{(\sqrt{45-3x})}^2 = {(x-9)}^2\\45-3x = x^2-18x+81\\0 = x^2-18x+81-45+3x\\x^2-15x+36 = 0\\x^2-12x-3x+36 = 0\\x(x-12)-3(x-12) = 0\\(x-3)(x-12)\\x-3 = 0\\=> x =3\\x-12 = 0\\x = 12\\We\ will\ check\ the\ solutions\ one\ by\ one\\So,\\for\ x=3\\\sqrt{45-3(3)} = 3-9\\\sqrt{45-9} = -6\\\sqrt{36}= -6\\6\neq -6\\For x=12\\\sqrt{45-3(12)} = 12-9\\\sqrt{45-36} = 6\\\sqrt{36}= 6\\6=6$

Hence, we can conclude that x=3 is an extraneous solution of the equation ..
