Answer:

75cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, I can't see a photo, so I'll have to assume that the description provides enough info.

10cm/2km = x/15km,

where x is the distance on the map (in centimeters) of a real-life distance of 15 kilometers.

10cm/2km = x/15km

10/2 = 5/1

This means we have to multiply 5 by 15 to find x.

x = 5 · 15

x = 75

Let's plug the new value back in...

10cm/2km = x/15km

10cm/2km = (75cm)/15km

<em>(Simplify each side to its simplest form)</em>

10cm/2km = 75cm/15km

5/1 = 5/1

It works! So x = 75cm.

Hope this helps! :)

What number is one tenth of the number 0.9
Alja [10]

Answer:

0.09

Step-by-step explanation:

First off, we can write 0.9 as a fraction. Reading this, we would say "nine tenths"; this means the number in fraction form is 9/10.

The word "of" in mathematics means we multiply. Thus when we take 1/10 "of" 9/10, we multiply the two:

1/10(9/10)

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators:

1/10(9/10) = (1*9)/(10*10) = 9/100

Converting this back to a decimal, we read 9/100 as "nine one-hundredths"; this means decimal form is 0.09.

(6-2i)^2 which is the coefficient of i ?
Yuki888 [10]

Option A: -24 is the coefficient of i

Explanation:

The expression is (6-2 i)^{2}

To determine the coefficient of i, first we shall find the square of the binomial for the expression (6-2 i)^{2}

The formula to find the square of the binomial for this expression is given by

(a-b)^{2}=a^{2}-2 a b+b^{2}

where a=6 and b=2i

Substituting this value and expanding, we get,

(6-2 i)^{2}=6^{2} -2(6)(2i)+(2i)^{2}

Simplifying the terms, we have,

(6-2 i)^{2}=36-24i-4

Thus, from the above expression the coefficient of i is determined as -24.

Hence, Option A is the correct answer.
