write the ratio as a fraction in simplest form, with whole numbers in the numerator and denominator. 40 to 56

masha68 [24]

Answer:

5/7

Step-by-step explanation:

A common factor of 8 can be canceled from numerator and denominator.

40/56 = (5·8)/(7·8) = (5/7)·(8/8) = (5/7)·1 = 5/7

_____

Since you know your multiplication tables, you know that 40 and 56 are both multiples of 8.

__

If you don't know your multiplication tables, you can find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the two numbers and divide each by that. The GCD can be found using Euclid's algorithm. For that, you divide the larger by the smaller and use the remainder as the new smaller number. The original smaller number is now the larger number. For these numbers, that looks like ...

56 ÷ 40 = 1 r 16

40 ÷ 16 = 2 r 8

16 ÷ 8 = 2 r 0 . . . . . the zero remainder signals that the divisor (8) is the GCD

Now, your fraction is ...

(40/8) / (56/8) = 5/7

The area of a square is 225cm². On the map drawn to scale 1 : 3 find the area of the square

Olin [163]

Answer:

25 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

A scale drawing is a reduced form in terms of dimensions of an original image / building / object

the scale drawing is usually reduced at a constant dimension

scale of the drawing = original dimensions / dimensions of the scale drawing

Area if a square = length²

225 = length²

length = √225

length = 15

if the map is drawn to scale of 1 : 3

the length on the map = 15/3 = 5

area of the square 5 x 5 = 25

It is known that 1.4< square root of 2 <1.5. Find all possible values of the expression 2-square root of 2. How do I find

horsena [70]

Answer:

0.5<2-√2<0.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The original inequality states that 1.4<√2<1.5

For the second inequality, you can think of 2-√2 as 2+(-√2).

Because of the "properties of inequalities", we know that when a positive inequality is being turned into a negative, the numbers need to swap and become negative. So, the original inequality becomes -1.5<-√2<-1.4. (Notice how the √2 becomes negative, too). This makes sense because -1.5 is less than -1.4.

Using our new inequality, we can solve the problem. Instead of 2+(-√2), we are going to switch "-√2" with both possibilities of -1.5 and -1.6. For -1.5, we would get 2+(-1.5), or 0.5. For -1.4, we would get 2+(-1.4), or 0.6.

Now, we insert the new numbers into the equation _<2-√2<_. The 0.5 would take the original equation's "1.4" place, and 0.6 would take 1.5's. In the end, you'd get 0.5<2-√2<0.6. All possible values of 2-√2 would be between 0.5 and 0.6.

Hope this helped!

Lines 3x-2y+7=0 and 6x+ay-18=0 is perpendicular. What is the value of a?

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf a = 9 }$

Step-by-step explanation:

Two lines are given to us which are perpendicular to each other and we need to find out the value of a . The given equations are ,

$\sf\longrightarrow 3x - 2y +7=0$

$\sf\longrightarrow 6x +ay -18 = 0$

Step 1 : Convert the equations in slope intercept form of the line .

$\sf\longrightarrow y = \dfrac{3x}{2} +\dfrac{ 7 }{2}$

and ,

$\sf\longrightarrow y = -\dfrac{6x }{a}+\dfrac{18}{a}$

Step 2: Find the slope of the lines :-

Now we know that the product of slope of two perpendicular lines is -1. Therefore , from Slope Intercept Form of the line we can say that the slope of first line is ,

$\sf\longrightarrow Slope_1 = \dfrac{3}{2}$
