Hello! So, in order to solve this question, we should do 500/4. 500/4 = 125. Multiply 125 by 3 and you get 375. The horse costs $125 and the carriage costs $375.

Determine whether the cost for ordering multiple items that will be delivered is sometimes, always or never proportional. Explai

Tanzania [10]

It could sometimes be proportional. The reasoning here is that if all the items have different prices it won't be, however if the items you are ordering all have the same price they will be!

Simplify the complex fraction.

lilavasa [31]

Given:

$$\frac{\left(\frac{(4 r)^{3}}{15 t^{4}}\right)}{\left(\frac{16 r}{(3 t)^{2}}\right)}$

To find:

The simplified fraction.

Solution:

Step 1: Simplify the numerator

$$\frac{(4 r)^{3}}{15 t^{4}}=\frac{4^3 r^{3}}{15 t^{4}}=\frac{64 r^{3}}{15 t^{4}}$

Step 2: Simplify the denominator

$$\frac{16 r}{(3 t)^{2}}=\frac{16 r}{3^2 t^{2}}= \frac{16 r}{9 t^{2}}$

Step 3: Using step 1 and step 2

$$\frac{\left(\frac{(4 r)^{3}}{15 t^{4}}\right)}{\left(\frac{16 r}{(3 t)^{2}}\right)}=\frac{\left(\frac{64 r^{3}}{15 t^{4}}\right)}{\left(\frac{16 r}{9 t^{2}} \right)}$
