Answer:

a) If both the numerator and the denominator are increased by 2, the fraction becomes?

= 4/5

b) What is the original fraction?

= 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the numerator to the denominator of a fraction is 2 to 3.

a) If both the numerator and the denominator are increased by 2, the fraction becomes .

2:3 = 2/3

We are told that both numerator and denominator are increased by 2, hence:

2 + 2/3 + 2

= 4/5

b) What is the original fraction?

The ratio of the numerator to the denominator of a fraction is 2 to 3.

Hence, the original fraction is:

2:3 = 2/3

A team of runners is needed to run a 1/4 mile relay race. If each runner must run 1/16 mile how many runners will be needed?
myrzilka [38]
The answer is 4. If the relay is 1/4 mile, and each person runs 1/16 mile, then to get the answer you divide 1/4 by 1/6 and get 4. 4 people would be needed to run this relay. Hope this helps! :)

I am thinking of three positive numbers. The mode is 5 The median is 5 The range is 9 Work out the three numbers.
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer: either 5, 5, 14

First, we know the median is 5.  Thus, the middle value of the data is 5, so the set can now be read x, 5, y.  Then, because the mode is 5 and the set is not trimodal, either x or y must be 5.  Thus, the set could either be 5, 5, 14, or

-4, 5, 5.  However, because it must contain only positive number, the answer is 5, 5, 14

Hope it helps <3

Sin 3pi divided by 4
KATRIN_1 [288]
Sin 3pi/4 is angle 135 degrees or 45 degrees below 180 degrees. Hence it's opposite side is 1 and adjacent is 1, implying the hypothenus is sqrt(2). Hence

Sin 3pi/4 = 1/sqrt(2). Now multiply by sqrt(2)/sqrt(2) to get:

[1/sqrt(2).] * [sqrt(2)/sqrt(2)] = sqrt2)/2
