Answer:

The ratio of apples to peaches is 2 to 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

For every 1 apple, there are 3 bananas.

For every 3 peaches, there are 2 bananas.

To compare apples to peaches, we need to make the bananas in each of the proportions equal.

(1 apple = 3 bananas ) x 2 --> 2 apples= 6 bananas

(3 peaches = 2 bananas) x 3 --> 9 peaches= 6 bananas

Now that the bananas are equal and the other fruits are proportionate to the number of bananas, we can see that for every 2 apples there are 9 peaches.

You have $7000 with which to build a rectangular enclosure with fencing. The fencing material costs $30 per meter. You also want

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

1857.12 square meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L be the length of the rectangle and 'W' be the width

Perimeter = $2L + 2W + 2W$

The fencing material costs $30 per meter.

The material for the partitions costs $25 per meter

$cost=30(2L + 2W) +25( 2W)\\60L+60W+50W\\60L +110W$

$7000=60L+110W$

Solve for L

$7000=60L+110W\\7000-110W= 60L\\L=\frac{700}{6} -\frac{11}{6} W$

Area = length times width

$( \frac{700}{6} -\frac{11}{6} W)(W)\\A(W)=\frac{700}{6}W -\frac{11}{6} W^2$

Now take derivative and set it =0

$A(W)=\frac{700}{6}W -\frac{11}{6} W^2\\A'(W)=\frac{700}{6} -\frac{22}{6} W$

set the derivative =0 and solve for W

$0=\frac{700}{6} -\frac{22}{6} W\\\frac{700}{6}=\frac{22}{6} W\\W= 31.8$

So width = 31.8 that gives maximum area

$L=\frac{700}{6} -\frac{11}{6} (31.8)=58.4$

$Area = length \cdot width = 31.8 \cdot 58.4= 1857.12$ square meter

What is the best method to geometrically show the addition of complex numbers?

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

Multiplying a complex number by a real number

Explanation:

For example, 2 times 3 + i is just 6 + 2i. Geometrically, when you double a complex number, just double the distance from the origin, 0. Similarly, when you multiply a complex number z by 1/2, the result will be half way between 0 and z.

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

$\frac{3}{10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find the fraction of the store's books that are fiction mysteries, multiply 1/2 by 3/5

$(\frac{1}{2})(\frac{3}{5})=\frac{3}{10}$
