To find c, you must isolate it.
To do this, you must divide both sides by 5/7, since that is being multiplied by c and you must do the inverse to it to cancel it out in order to leave c by itself.
5/7c ÷ 5/7 = c
13/14 ÷ 5/7
To divide fractions, follow these steps:
Step 1- Turn the second fraction, 5/7 in this case, into its reciprocal. This means swapping the places of the numerator and denominator.
5/7 reciprocal = 7/5
Step 2- multiply the original first fraction and reciprocal second fraction.
13/14 • 7/5
13 • 7 = 91
14 • 5 = 70
13/14 ÷ 5/7 = 91/70
Step 3- Simplify if possible.
91/70
Since 70 can go into 90, you can turn this into a mixed number.
1 and 21/70
Now simplify 21/70.
Both can be divided by 7.
21 ÷ 7 = 3
70 ÷ 7 = 10
So simplified, 91/70 equals 1 and 3/10.
As a decimal, this is 1.3.
So the answer is c = 1.3, or 1 and 3/10.
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
1. Yes; 2. Yes ; 3. No; 4. Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
The proportion will have to be read the same way. For example top Δ bottom to the lower Δ bottom (locate in the same place)
14/21 = 6 /9 Yes because the top Δ bottom to lower Δ bottom = top side to
lower same side
13.5/21 = 9/ 14 Yes because the same two sides to the same two sides in
the lower Δ
9/13.5 = 6 21 No because top Δ side to lower Δ same location but the
second one top Δ side to the lower bottom
14 /6 = 21/6 Yes because top Δ bottom to top side = lower Δ bottom to
lower side (in the same place)
It would be 2 because 2 divide 2 is 1
Answer: The dimensions of the rectangle are 6ft and 16ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the width of the rectangle be y
Let the length of the rectangle be y+10
Area= 96ft
Since area of a rectangle is length multiplied by width
y(y+10) = 96
y^2 +10y =96
y^2 +10y -96= 0
Solving algebraically,
y^2 +16y - 6y - 96= 0
y(y+16) - 6(y+16)= 0
(y-6)(y+16)= 0
y-6= 0
y =6ft
Recall that the width was denoted as y. That means the width is 6ft.
Since length is y+10= 6+10 = 16ft
Length is 16ft, width is 6ft.
The answer for the inverse is X= -1
