Answer:

12 : 7 : 3

Step-by-step explanation:

24 : 14 : 6

12 : 7 : 3

Always start with smaller number to simplify it. Since 2 is the smaller number and it simplifies 24, 14, and 6 I start with it.

24 ÷ 2 = 12

14 ÷ 2 = 7

6 ÷ 2 = 3

We would stop here since it would not further simplify, therefore our answer is 12 : 7 : 3.

Hope this helps, thank you :) !!

Find the missing side length, m.

amid [387]

Answer:

m = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

This is a proportion question. A proportion is 2 equal ratios. There are 4 parts to a proportion. If 3 are known, the 4th can be found.

Formula

AB/AC = RQ/QS

Givens

AB = m

AC = 2

RQ = 10

QS = 4

Solution

m/2 = 10/4 Multiply both sides by 2

2m/2 = 2*10/4 Combine

m = 20/4

m = 5

Answer m = 5

The actual length of side y is 22 cm. Use the scale drawing to find the actual length of side x.

valina [46]

The correct answer is 28.3.

You take 22/1.4 and get 15.7142857143. Then you take 15.7142857143*1.8 which equals 28.2857142857 so you round it up to 28.3 which is the answer.

I hope this helps you:)

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is 4x−10y=404x−10y=40. Fully simplify your answer.

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

$- \frac{5}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

4x -10y= 40

Let's rewrite this equation in the slope-intercept form (y= mx +c) so that we can obtain it's slope.

10y= 4x -40

Divide both side by 10:

$y = \frac{2}{5} x - 4$

The product of the gradients of perpendicular lines is -1.

⅖(gradient of line)= -1

Gradient of perpendicular line

$= - 1 \div \frac{2}{5}$

$= - 1 \times \frac{5}{2}$

$= - \frac{5}{2}$

For every 9 black and white copies printed there are 2 color copies printed. If there are 200 color copies printed how many blac

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

900 black and white copies are printed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

For every 9 black and white copies printed there are 2 color copies printed.

If there are 200 color copies printed.

Now, to find the number of black and white copies are printed.

Let the number of black and white copies printed be $x.$

As given, for every 9 black and white copies printed there are 2 color copies printed.

So, 9 is equivalent to 2.

If there are 200 color copies printed.

Thus, $x$ is equivalent to 200.

Now, to solve by using cross multiplication method:

$\frac{9}{2} =\frac{x}{200}$

By cross multiplying we get:

$1800=2x$

Dividing both sides by 2 we get:

$900=x$

$x=900.$

Therefore, 900 black and white copies are printed.
