Answer:

3/8 = 9/24

Step-by-step explanation:

So here we have a basic multiplication problem and finding the LCM of 8 and 3. The first step in this problem is finding the LCM of 3/8. The LCM of 3 and 8 is 24. So yay! we have the bottom half of our answer!

Ex.-

The LCM of 8 and 3 is 24.

So now we have to find an equivalent fraction. Since we already know that 8 (the denominator in the original equation) can be multiplied by 3 to equal 24, we use 3 (the numerator in the original equation) and multiply it by itself to get an equivalent fraction.

Ex.-

8 x 3 = 24

3 x 3 = 9

Now that we have our numerator and denominator, all we have to do now is put them together to get our answer.

Ex.-

9/24 (answer) = 3/8 (original equation)

Hopefully I could help! :)

The equation would be if y is the numbers in the sequence (like 3, 9, 27) and x is the is the number in the order (like 3 is 1, 9 is 2, 81 is 4) the the equation would be y = 3^x.

A tap can fill a bucket in 6 hours. After half the bucket is filled, three more similar taps are opened. What is the total time

777dan777 [17]

The total time taken to fill the bucket completely is 3 hours 45 minutes

The time taken to fill the bucket by one tap= 6 hours

Then the time take by one tap to fill half of the bucket= 3 hours

Part filled by one tap in one hour = $\frac{1}{6}$

Part filled by four taps in one hour = $4(\frac{1}{6})=\frac{4}{6}=\frac{2}{3}$

Given, that after half the bucket is filled, three more similar taps are opened

Then the remaining part = $1-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2}$

Time taken to fill the half of the bucket= $(\frac{1}{2} )(\frac{2}{3})=\frac{3}{4}$ hours

Convert the hours to minutes

$(\frac{3}{4})60=45$ minutes

Therefore,

Total time taken to fill the bucket= The time taken by one tap to fill half of the bucket+ Time taken by 4 taps to fill the half of the bucket

=3 hours+ 45 minutes

=3 hours 45 minutes

Hence, The total time taken to fill the bucket completely is 3 hours 45 minutes

The Greenpoint factory produced two-fifths of the Consolidated Brick Company’s bricks in 1991. If the Greenpoint factory produce

ohaa [14]

Answer:

3500 tons

Step-by-step explanation:

The Greenpoint factory produced 2/5 of the bricks that the Consolidate Brick Company produced in 1991.

Let the amount of bricks produced by the Greenpoint factory be g and the amount of bricks produced by the Consolidated brick company be c.

Therefore:

g = 2/5 * c = 2c/5

That year, the Greenpoint factory produced 1400 tons of bricks. This implies that:

1400 = 2c/5

To find the amount that the Consolidated Brick Company produced, solve for c:

1400 = 2c/5

1400 * 5 = 2c

7000 = 2c

c = 7000 / 2 = 3500 tons

The Consolidated Brick Company had a total production output of 3500 tons in 1991.
