The ratio of two number is 4:9.When 5 is subtracted from each of them,the new ratio becomes 3:8. Find the numbers.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The numbers are 20 and 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be a and b

The ratio of the two is 4:9

That means;

a/b = 4/9

9a = 4b •••••(i)

secondly;

Subtracting 5 from each gives a ratio of 3:8

(a-5)/(b-5) = 3/8

8(a-5) = 3(b-5)

8a - 40 = 3b - 15

3b - 15 + 40 = 8a

3b + 25 = 8a

a = (3b + 25)/8 •••(ii)

Insert this into 1

9(3b + 25)/8 = 4b

27b + 225 = 32b

32b - 27b = 225

5b = 225

b = 225/5

b = 45

From i;

9a = 4b

9a = 4 * 45

a = 4 * 45/9

a = 20

Rhonda planted green beans on 67% of her farm. Rhonda's farm has 598 acres of land. Estimate the number of acres of green beans on Rhonda's farm.

Answers

Answer: 400 acres.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 598 is very close to 600, so we can round that amount up.

We also know that 67% is very close to [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] because 2÷3≈0.67 & 67%=0.67

So, we can estimate [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] of 600, which is about 400.

in this triangle, what is the value of x? Enter your answer, rounded to the nearest tenth, in the box. x = A right triangle with one leg labeled 66 millimeters and the hypotenuse labeled 79 millimeters. The angle that is opposite the 66 millimeter side is labeled x degrees.

Answers

Answer:

56.7°

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this above question using the Trigonometric function of Sine

sin x = Opposite side/Hypotenuse

Opposite = 66mm

Hypotenuse = 79 mm

sin x = 66/79

x =arc sin(66/79)

x = arcsin(0.8354430379746836)

x = 56.661998553°

Approximately = 56.7°

How can the decimal 1.245 repeating be written as a quotient of two integers?

Answers

Answer:

1244/999

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have 1.245245245245.... which we call x.

If we times this by 1000 (because 3 digits repeat) we get

1000x = 1245.245245245....

Subtract x from both sides:

999x = 1245.245245245... - 1.245245... = 1244

This means that x = 1244/999

This fraction cannot be simplified so this is the answer.

If you want to include the 1 in the repeating (1.2451245...) do the same but the sequence is 4 digits so times by 10000 instead.

The sum of 7 times the number and 3 times the 2nd numbers 54 if the 1st number is 2 more than the 2nd number what are the 2 numbers right as this movie equations that can be used to find the numbers

Answers

Answer:

1) The  series of equations that can be used to find the numbers are

7·x + 3·y = 54...(1)

x = y + 2...(2)

2) The first number is 6

The second number is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The given parameters for the numbers are;

7 times the first number + 3 times the 2nd number = 54

The first number = The 2nd number + 2

Let 'x' represent the first number and let 'y' represent the second number

The following series of equations can therefore be used in finding the numbers;

7·x + 3·y = 54...(1)

x = y + 2...(2)

2) By substituting the value of x = y + 2 from equation (2) into equation (1) gives;

7·x + 3·y = 54

∴ 7×(y + 2) + 3·y = 54

7·y + 14 + 3·y = 54

10·y + 14 = 54

10·y = 54 - 14 = 40

y = 40/10 = 4

The second number = y = 4

The first number, x = y + 2 = 4 + 2 = 6

The first number, x = 6.

Mark jogged 3 5/7 km. His sister jogged 2 4/5 km. How much farther did Mark jog than his sister?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

so therefore mark jogged 2 36/70km more than his sister

The number of kilometers that Mark jog more than his sister will be 32 / 35 km.

What is Algebra?

Algebra is the study of abstract symbols, while logic is the manipulation of all those ideas.

The acronym PEMDAS stands for Parenthesis, Exponent, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction. This approach is used to answer the problem correctly and completely.

Mark jogged 3 ⁵/₇ km. His sister jogged 2 ⁴/₅ km.

Convert the mixed fraction number into a fraction number. Then we have

3 ⁵/₇ = 3 + 5/7 = 26/7

2 ⁴/₅ = 2 + 4/5 = 14/5

Then the number of kilometers that Mark jog more than his sister will be given as,

⇒ 26/7 - 14/5

⇒ 32 / 35 km

The number of kilometers that Mark jog more than his sister will be 32 / 35 km.

The sum of the first 8 terms of a GP is five times the sum of first 4 terms. Find the common ratio.​

Answers

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of nth term of a GP is expressed as;

Sn = a(r^n-1)/r-1

The sum of the first 8 terms of a GP is expressed as;

S8 = a(r^8 - 1)/r-1

The sum of first 4 terms is expressed as;

S4 = a(r^4 - 1)/r-1

If the sum of the first 8 terms of a GP is five times the sum of first 4 terms then

S8 = 5S4

a(r^8 - 1)/r-1 = 5[a(r^4 - 1)/r-1]

r^8 - 1 = 5(r^4 - 1)

r^8 - 1 = 5r^4 - 5

r^8 - 5r^4 = -5+1

r^4(r^4 - 5) = -4

r^4 - 5 = -4

r^4 = -4+5

r^4 = 1

r = 1

Hence the common ratio is 1

lamont cotton is 4% comission on the first 10,000 of monthly sales mens 10% on all sales over 10,000. last month his 38,00. what was his comission

Answers

Given:

Lamont cotton is 4% commission on the first 10,000 of monthly sales and 10% on all sales over 10,000.

Consider his last month sales is 38,000.

To find:

The total commission.

Solution:

4% commission on the first 10,000 of monthly sales is

[tex]10,000\dfrac{4}{100}=400[/tex]

Sales over 10,000 is

[tex]38,000-10,000=28,000[/tex]

10% commission on all sales over 10,000 is

[tex]28,000\times \dfrac{10}{100}=2,800[/tex]

Now, the total commission is

[tex]400+2,800=3,200[/tex]

Therefore, the total commission is 3,200.

Ms. Fleener's fish tank has a bottom area of 102 square
centimeters. If the height of the fish tank is 12 centimeters, how
many cubic centimeters of water does the fish tank hold?
I

Answers

Answer:

1224 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

volume = bottom area x height

102x12=1224

The fish tank holds 1224 cc of water.

What is volume?

In mathematics, volume is the space taken by an object.

Here, given that,

The area of the bottom of the tank =A= 102 cm²

now, the height of the water in tank = h= 12cm

we know, volume of water= A× h  

                                           =102×12 cc

                                           =1224 cc

Hence, required volume is 1224 cc
