Answer: No

Step-by-step explanation: In order to decide whether the given fractions are equivalent, first write each fraction in lowest terms.

A fraction is written in lowest terms if the greatest common factor of the numerator and the denominator is 1.

So for our first fraction, 4/9, since the greatest common factor of 4 and 9 is 1, we know that are fraction is already written in lowest terms.

For our second fraction however, since the greatest common factor of 20 and 36 is 4, we must divide both the numerator and the denominator by 4 to write our fraction in lowest terms. This gives us 5/9.

Since 5/9 is bigger than 4/9, te fractions are not equivalent so no, 4/9 is not equivalent to 20/36.

No because

36 / 9 = 4

20 / 4 = 5

So they are multiplied by different amounts so they aren’t equivalent

Answer:

There are 585 adults and children

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of adults be a, number of children be c and the number of seniors be a

Amount made per group;

adults; 52 * a = 52a

Children : 26 * c = 26c

Seniors = 20 * s = 20s

Adding all will give 20,490

52a + 20s + 26c = 20 490 ••••(i)

Now let us work with the ratios;

a : s = 6 : 1

a/s = 6/1

a = 6s •••••(ii)

Lastly;

a/c = 4/9

4c = 9a ••••(ii)

We want to get a + c

From the first equation , let’s substitute

52(6s) + 20s + 26c = 20,490

26c = 6.5 (4c)

but 4c = 9a; 6.5(9a)

But a = 6s

So we have; 6.5(9)(6s) = 351s

so we have;

312s + 351s + 20s = 20,490

683s = 20,490

s = 20490/683

s = 30

Recall;

a = 6s = 6 * 30 = 180

4c = 9a

4c = 9 * 180

c = (9 * 180)/4 = 405

So the total number of children and adult is a + c

405 + 180 = 585

Explain the strategy you would use to solve the following equation without a model. You can write out the fraction names or use
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2 1/4 - 1 3/4 Because the denominator are already the same, all you have to do is make it a mixed number and subtract. To do that you multiply the whole number to the denominator and add that new number to the numerator. So you would then have.

9/4 - 7/4

Keep the denumerator the same and subtract the numerators.

2/4

Then simplify

1/2

How many real roots are in 10x^2 +3x+6=0
Ket [755]

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the discriminant formula for parabola

{b}^{2}  - 4ac

{3}^{2}  - 4(10)(6)

9- 240

- 231

Since the answer is negative, we will have 2 imaginary roots so we won't have any real roots
