Answer:

5:6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the ratio of side lengths you need to cube root of the ratio of the volumes. The reason you use the cube root is because you are multiplying 3 things together when you find volume.

$\sqrt[3]{\frac{125}{216} } =\frac{5}{6}$

5 : 6

1) $400 interest is earned on a principal of $2,000 at a simple interest rate of 5%

Kitty [74]

Answer:

4 years

Step-by-step explanation:

I = $ 400

R = 5%

P =$ 2000

I = Prt

400 = 2000 * $\frac{5}{100}$ * t

400 = 20 * 5 * t

400 = 100 t

$\frac{400}{100}=t$

t = 4 years

Question # 1

Answer:

$\frac{-2}{3}\times \frac{3}{5}+\frac{5}{2}\times \frac{3}{5}\times \frac{1}{6}=-\frac{3}{20}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

$\frac{-2}{3}\times \frac{3}{5}+\frac{5}{2}\times \frac{3}{5}\times \frac{1}{6}$

$=-\frac{2}{5}+\frac{5}{2}\times \frac{3}{5}\times \frac{1}{6}$ ∵ $\frac{-2}{3}\times \frac{3}{5}=-\frac{2}{5}$

$=-\frac{2}{5}+\frac{1}{4}$ ∵ $\frac{5}{2}\times \frac{3}{5}\times \frac{1}{6}=\frac{1}{4}$

$\mathrm{Least\:Common\:Multiplier\:of\:}5,\:4:\quad 20$

$=-\frac{8}{20}+\frac{5}{20}$

$\mathrm{Since\:the\:denominators\:are\:equal,\:combine\:the\:fractions}:\quad \frac{a}{c}\pm \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\pm \:b}{c}$

$=\frac{-8+5}{20}$

$\mathrm{Add/Subtract\:the\:numbers:}\:-8+5=-3$

$=\frac{-3}{20}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{-a}{b}=-\frac{a}{b}$

$=-\frac{3}{20}$

Therefore,

$\frac{-2}{3}\times \frac{3}{5}+\frac{5}{2}\times \frac{3}{5}\times \frac{1}{6}=-\frac{3}{20}$

Question # 2

Answer:

$\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{-3}{7}-\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{3}{2}\times \frac{1}{14}\times \frac{2}{5}=-\frac{5}{28}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{-3}{7}-\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{3}{2}\times \frac{1}{14}\times \frac{2}{5}$

$=-\frac{6}{35}-\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{3}{2}\times \frac{2}{5}\times \frac{1}{14}$ ∵ $\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{-3}{7}=-\frac{6}{35}$

$=-\frac{6}{35}-\frac{1}{140}$ ∵ $\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{3}{2}\times \frac{1}{14}\times \frac{2}{5}=\frac{1}{140}$

$\mathrm{Least\:Common\:Multiplier\:of\:}35,\:140:\quad 140$

$=-\frac{24}{140}-\frac{1}{140}$

$\mathrm{Since\:the\:denominators\:are\:equal,\:combine\:the\:fractions}:\quad \frac{a}{c}\pm \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\pm \:b}{c}$

$=\frac{-24-1}{140}$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:the\:numbers:}\:-24-1=-25$

$=\frac{-25}{140}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{-a}{b}=-\frac{a}{b}$

$=-\frac{25}{140}$

$\mathrm{Cancel\:the\:common\:factor:}\:5$

$=-\frac{5}{28}$

Therefore,

$\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{-3}{7}-\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{3}{2}\times \frac{1}{14}\times \frac{2}{5}=-\frac{5}{28}$
