Mathematics

kvasek [131]2 years ago

Answer:  \frac{12}{30}

This is the same as writing 12/30

===========================================================

Explanation:

d = value of the denominator

d-18 = value of the numerator, since it's 18 less than the denominator

The fraction Eric is thinking of is \frac{d-18}{d} where d cannot be zero. This fraction is equivalent to \frac{2}{5} so we'll set the two fractions equal to one another and solve for d.

\frac{d-18}{d} = \frac{2}{5}\\\\5(d-18) = 2d \ \ \text{ ... cross multiply}\\\\5d-90 = 2d\\\\5d-2d = 90\\\\3d = 90\\\\d = \frac{90}{3}\\\\d = 30\\\\

The denominator is d = 30 and the numerator is d-18 = 30-18 = 12.

The unreduced fraction Eric is thinking of is \Large \frac{12}{30}.

To verify the answer, notice that:

\frac{12}{30} = \frac{6*2}{6*5} = \frac{2}{5}

Find the surface area of the regular pyramid shown to the nearest whole number. plz help
Sav [38]
The surface area of the regular hexagonal pyramid is
SA = (1/2) pl + B
where p is the perimeter of the base, l is the slant height of the pyramid, and B is the area of the base
The area of a regular hexagon is 3 sh
where s is the length of the side and h is the length of the apothem.
So,
SA = (1/2)(6)(12) (11) + 3(12)(6sqrt3)
SA = 770 square meters

Which of the following statements is biconditional?
bazaltina [42]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given some statements

We have to find that which statements is bi-conditional

We know that

Bi-Conditional statement:It is combination of conditional statement and its converse written as  if and only if .Bi- conditional statement is true if and only both the conditions are true.

1.I am sleeping if and only if I am snoring.

If I am sleeping then I am snoring .Then,it may be true or may not be  true.

If I am snoring then I am sleeping .It is true.

Its one side true result.So, it is not bi conditional true statement.

2.Mary will eat pudding today if and only if is custard.

If Mary will eat pudding today then it is custard.It may or may not be true because pudding can be any soft sweet desserts.It is not necessary that it is custard only.

If it is custard then Mary will east pudding today.It is true, because it is soft sweet dessert.

Hence, it is one side true. Therefore, It is not bi- conditional true.

3.It is raining if and only if it is cloudy.

If it is raining then it is cloudy .It is true.

But if it is cloudy then it is raining. It  may be true or may not be true.

Hence, it is one side true result.Therefore, it is not bi conditional true.

Therefore, any given statement is not both side true.

So, the answer is none of the above because bi conditional statement is true if and only if both the conditions are true.

Archimedes was asked by his king to figure out a way of telling if people were giving him fake gold objects. That was when Archi
klio [65]

Answer:

See explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

Archimedes was able o obtain the actual volume of the supposedly gold made object by collecting the water displaced by the object as it was sunk on a bowl filled with water to the rim. Then knowing the volume displaced and therefore the volume of the object, he could find the object's density (mass over volume). The mass he could get just by weighting the object. and compare that with the density of any other object made of real gold (like for example a coin) and see if the quotient was the same. The density of both objects should be the same if they are made of the same material.

Please help me find the length!!
galben [10]
So, this would be a common circle question. 

First, 20 degrees from a circle's curcumference would be 20/360, which is 1/18.

This means that the length of the arc of AB should be 1/18 of the circumference.


The formula for the circumference it 2pi*r

2*pi*27=54pi

54pi* 1/18= 6 pi
