I hope this helps. Keep in mind the 1/3 is slope and the 3 is y-intercept.
X would be 24
24 divided by 2 - 24 divided by 3 = 4
Answer:
Mariya is 1 year old
Vikram is 7 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to know the present ages of Mariya and Vikram.
Let the present age of Mariya be M and the present age of Vikram be V
From the question, we are told that in 6 years time, Mariya will be as old as Vikram is now
Thus, mathematically;
M + 6 = V ••••••(i)
Furthermore , in 2 years time Vikram will be 3 time older than Mariya
Mathematically;
( V + 2) = 3( M + 2)
V + 2 = 3M + 6
V = 3M + 6-2
V = 3M + 4 •••••••(ii)
So let’s equate the V
3m + 4 = m + 6
3m -m = 6-4
2m = 2
m = 1
But V = m + 6
V = 1 + 6
V = 7
Answer:
The length of the sloping section of the ramp is 20.12 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
the total height of the bank, h = 2.8 m
The slope of the ramp must be 8° to the horizontal, i.e, θ = 8°
Let the length of the sloping section = L
let the horizontal distance between the height of the bank and sloping section = b
Thus, h, L and b forms three sides of a right angled-triangle, with L as the hypotenuse side, h (height of the triangle) as the opposite side and b (base of the triangle) as the adjacent side.
We determine L by applying the following formula;
Sinθ = opposite / hypotenuse
Sin θ = h / L
L = h / Sin θ
L = 2.8 / Sin 8
L = 2.8 / 0.13917
L = 20.12 m
Therefore, the length of the sloping section of the ramp is 20.12 m
3/8=0.375
2/5=0.4
0.38=0.38
0.375<0.38<0.4
therefore: 3/8,0.38,2/5
*Remember that you can convert fractions to decimals by dividing the numerator by the denominator! This makes it much easier to compare :)
