\displaystyle \\ 
\text{We use the following equation:} \\  \\ 
 \frac{n}{2} = n - 38 \\  \\ 
We solve for n: \\  \\ 
 \frac{n}{2} = n - 38 ~~\Big| \times 2 \\  \\  
n = 2 \times  n - 2 \times 38 \\  \\ 
n = 2n - 76 \\  \\ 
2n - n = 76 \\  \\ 
\boxed{n = 76} \\  \\ 
\text{Verification: } \\  \\ 
\frac{n}{2} = n - 38 \\  \\ 
\frac{76}{2} = 76 - 38 \\  \\ 
\boxed{38 = 38  ~~~ Correct }

Express tan F as a fraction in simplest terms
gladu [14]

Answer:

  5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the tangent of angle F in right triangle FGH with sides FG=24, GH=10, and FH=26.

<h3>Tangent</h3>

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA is intended to remind you of the relations between trig functions and the sides of a right triangle. The TOA part of this tells you ...

  Tangent = Opposite/Adjacent

<h3>Application</h3>

The side opposite angle F is GH = 10.

The side adjacent to angle F is FG = 24.

Then the tangent is ...

  tan(F) = GH/FG = 10/24

  tan(F) = 5/12 . . . . . reduced to lowest terms

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs. Not all tiles will be used.
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

1) 20.9

2) 896

3) 21

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 5.6÷2^3+(12.75+7.45)

---> 12.75 + 7.45 = 20.2

5.6 ÷ 2^3 + 20.2

--> Simplify 2^3 to 8

5.6 ÷ 8 + 20.2

--> 5.6 ÷ 8 = 0.7

0.7+20.2

--> Simplify

20.9

2) 4^3 × (0.6 +3.6) ÷ 0.3

---> 0.6 + 3.6 = 4.2

4^3 * 4.2 ÷ 0.3

---> 4^3 = 64

64 * 4.2 ÷ 0.3

--> 64 * 4.2 = 268.8

268.8 ÷ 0.3

--> 268.8 ÷ 0.3 = 896

896

3) 2^4 + (2.75 +1.75) ÷ 0.9

--> 2.75 + 1.75 = 4.5

2^4 + 4.5 ÷ 0.9

--> 2^4 = 16

16 + 4.5 ÷ 0.9

--> 4.5 ÷ 0.89 = 5

16 + 5

--> Simplify

= 21

A cereal mixture contains Almond, Wheat, and Corn in the ratio of 3:5:7. What amount of this mixture contains 9 kilograms of Alm
Mice21 [21]

The total cereal mixture is 45 kilograms

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that, cereal mixture contains Almond, Wheat, and Corn in the ratio of 3:5:7

Therefore,

Almond : Wheat : Corn = 3 : 5 : 7

Let the almond present be 3x

Let the wheat present be 5x

Let the corn present be 7x

Therefore,

Total cereal mixture = 3x + 5x + 7x

Total cereal mixture = 15x

<em><u>Given that mixture contains 9 kg of almond</u></em>

Almond = 9

We know that,

Almond present = 3x

3x = 9

x = 3

Therefore,

Total cereal mixture = 15x = 15(3) = 45

Thus total cereal mixture is 45 kilograms
