Answer:
Given MC = 4
AN = 14
To Find, the length of NB
Step-by-step explanation:
AB is a line which has midpoint “C”. Now the line is divided into two equal portion AC and CB.
The AC has midpoint “M” and MC is 4, so AM will also be 4.
N is the midpoint of CB. So, CB = CN + NB
Now we know AC = AM + MC = 4 + 4 =8
Given, AN = 14
AN = AC + CN
14 = 8 + CN
CN = 6
Since N is the midpoint of CB then, CN = NB
Therefore, the NB is 6
N=number of nickels
d=number of dimes
q=number of quarters
example
if n:d=3:8
lets say n=3 and d=8
3*8=8*3
so
8n=3d
slightly confusing but go with it, it migh make sense or it might not
n:d=3:8
8n=3d
d:q=4:5
5d=4q
solve for one of them
solve for nickels in first and quarters in second
8n=3d, n=(3/8)d
5d=4q, (4/5)d=q
5n+10d+25q=690
divide by 5 to make it easeir
n+2d+4q=138
sub (3/8)d for n
sub (4/5)d for q
(3/8)d+2d+5(5/4)d=138
(3/8)d+2d+25/4d=138
3/8+2+25/4=
3/8+16/2+50/8=
69/8
(69/8)d=138
times both sides by 8
69d=1104
divide both sides by 69
d=16
16 dimes
sub back
(5/4)d=q
(5/4)16=q
80/4=q
20=q
(3/8)d=n
(3/8)16=n
48/8=n
6=n
6 nickles
16 dimes
20 quarters
yah
6.5 is the mean of the data
Answer:
7/15 km
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the least common denominator between the two fractions. The least common denominator in this case would be 15, so you have to multiply 1/3 by 5 to have a denominator of 15. Then you multiply 1/5 by 3 to have a denominator of 15. You will find that Mark ran a distance of 2 5/15 km and Shaun ran 3 3/15 km. To make it even easier, you can add the whole number back into the fraction so Mark will have ran 35/15 km and Shaun will have ran 48/15 km meaning that Shaun will have ran more. Then you set you fractions up and subtract them.
