Sarah: 48 * 1/8
Jane: 36 * 1/9
you could do 2 things here
a. solve the problem by multiplying the two "fractions" together for each person to get a number, and the larger number means the larger piece
or
b. take a step back and look at it piece by piece
first lets compare
Sarah has a piece of Ribbon equal to 48 inches while
Jane's ribbon is only 36 inches in length
so Sarah has the most ribbon to start out with
now lets compare the two fractions
1/8 and 1/9
the smaller the denominator the bigger the number actually is
because the denominator just means "divided by" this number, so the smaller the number, the less "groups" the numerator is being split up into.
now in that case, 1/8 is the bigger fraction, and this fraction belongs to Sarah
now if Sarah has the larger Ribbon and the larger fraction, then she automatically has the larger ribbon.
however, in this problem it asks for "how much longer"
so we have to treat each of the numbers for each person as if it was a fraction
48 inches for Sarah and 36 inches for Jane will be over 1, showing that it is 48 and 36 "wholes" or whole numbers
48/1 and 36/1
now we multiply 48/1 by 1/8 because that i how much ribbon sarah needs
multiply the numerator by the numerator and the denominator by the denominator
48/1* 1/8 = 48/8 or simplified to 6/1 or 6 inches of ribbon for Sarah
do the same for Jane
36/1 * 1/9 = 36/9 or simplified to 4/1 or 4 inches of Ribbon for Jane
therefore we can conclude
Sarah has 2 more inches of Ribbon than Jane
The measure of angle EAC is equivalent to 50 degrees.
<span>First note that y cannot equal -7 or -1 as division by zero is undefined. So that if it comes up in our solution we know that it is not a real solution.
[(y+4)/(y+7)]+1=(y+3)/(y+1) make the left side have a common denominator
(y+4+y+7)/(y+7)=(y+3)/(y+1) combine like terms on left side
(2y+11)/(y+7)=(y+3)/(y+1) cross multiply
(2y+11)(y+1)=(y+3)(y+7) expand
2y^2+13y+11=y^2+10y+21 subtract y^2 from both sides
y^2+13y+11=10y+21 subtract 10y from both sides
y^2+3y+11=21 subtract 21 from both sides
y^2+3y-10=0 expand so factoring is easier
y^2-2y+5y-10=0 factor
y(y-2)+5(y-2)=0 which is equal to
(y+5)(y-2)=0
y=-5 or 2</span>
Answer:
Common ratio = 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
The nth term of a geometric progression is given by
an = a1 . rn - 1
Where;
an = the nth term
a1 = the first term
r = common ratio
n = the number of terms in the series
Common ratio, r = the ratio of the second term to the first term
= a2 : a1
Given from the series,
a2 = 48
a1 = 64
Common ratio, r = 48 : 64
= 48/64 = 3/4
Answer:
