The required scale is 2 cm t 5 in

This means that 2cm on the drawing would represent 5 inches on the actual flower. If the flower is 8 inches in real life, then the equation would be as shown below

2cm = 5 in

xcm = 8 in

where x represent the height of the flower on the drawing. By cross multiplying, we have

x * 5 = 2 * 8

5x = 16

x = 16/5

x = 3.2

The height of the tree on the drawing would be 3.2 cm

The needed scale is 2 cm:5in

It means that 2 cm will represent 5 inch of actual flower. if the flower of 8 inch would be in real the required equation would be:

2cm = 5 inch

xcm= 8 inch

X representing height of flower.

After <u>Cross Multiplying</u><u>,</u>

2 × 8 = x × 5

x =  \frac{2 \times 8}{5}  \\  \\ x =  \frac{16}{5}  \\  \\ x = 3.2

The Height Of the tree required is 3.2 cm

The answer is 125. If you were to pair 250 people in 2, that would be 250 divided by 2. And 250 divided by 2 is 125.

Rewrite the expression $6j^2 - 4j 12$ in the form $c(j p)^2 q$, where $c$, $p$, and $q$ are constants. What is $\frac{q}{p}$
solniwko [45]

Rewrite the expression  6j^2 - 4j + 12$ in the form $c(j + p)^2 + q$, where $c$, $p$, and $q$ are constants. What is $\frac{q}{p}$

The ratio of \frac{q}{p}  = - 34

How to solve such questions?

Such Questions can be easily solved just by some Algebraic manipulations and simplifications. We just try to make our expression in the form which question asks us. This is the best method to solve such questions as it will definitely lead us to correct answers. One such method is completing the square method.

Completing the square is a method that is used for converting a quadratic expression of the form ax^{2} + bx + c to the vertex form

a(x - h)^{2} + k. The most common application of completing the square is in solving a quadratic equation. This can be done by rearranging the expression obtained after completing the square: a(x + m)^{2} + n, such that the left side is a perfect square trinomial

$6j^2 - 4j +12$

=  $6(j^2 - \frac{2}{3} j )+12$

= $6(j^2 - \frac{2}{3} j  +  \frac{1}{9}  )+\frac{102}{9}                   (Completing Square method)

=6( j- \frac{1}{3} )^{2}  +  \frac{34}{3}

On comparing with the given equation we get

p = - \frac{1}{3}     and q = \frac{34}{3}

∴ \frac{q}{p} = \frac{\frac{34}{3} }{\frac{-1}{3} }

= - 34

Which of the following expressions is equivalent to -9?
FromTheMoon [43]

B because there is only one negative and -63 divided by 7 equals -9. If it were -7 divided by 63 that would give you an answer in decimal form.
