How do i reduce 5/12 to 5/9

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  3 to 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Perhaps you want to reduce the ratio (5/12) to (5/9).

Ratio reduction

You have the ratio of two fractions with the same numerator. The ratio of the fractions will be the inverse of the ratio of their inverses:

  (5/12) : (5/9) = (9/5) : (12/5) . . . . . . invert fractions and swap sides

 = 9 : 12 = 3 : 4 . . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 5 and divide by 3

The ratio (5/12) to (5/9) is 3 to 4.

The sum of an integer and 7 times the next consecutive odd integer is 6. Find the value of the greater integer.

Answers

The value of the greatest integer is equal to 1.

We are given that:

The sum of an integer and 7 times the next consecutive odd integer is 6

Consecutive numbers are the numbers that follow each other continuously in the order from smallest to largest. For example 34 and 35.

Let the first number be x.

Second number = x + 2 ( as we need an odd integer)

ATQ:

x + 7( x + 2) = 6

x + 7 x + 14 = 6

8 x = 6 - 14

8 x = - 8

x = - 1

x + 2 = - 1 + 2

= 1

Therefore, the value of the greatest integer is equal to 1.

For which value of x is line l parallel to line m?
(Click document to see image.)

Answers

Answer:

x = 30°

Step-by-step explanation:

If l and m are parallel lines, then corresponding angles should be congruent.

  3x - 20 = 2x + 10

Add 20 to both sides,    

          3x = 2x + 10 + 20

         3x  = 2x + 30

Subtract 2x from both sides,

     3x - 2x = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

1 hour = 60 minutes {"exact equivalent."}

  p.m.  =  afternoon or evening;

 {Note: "p.m." stands for: post meridiem —in Latin terminology.}.

____

7 hours + 5 hours = 12 hours;  12 hours + [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] hours  = 12[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] hours.

Note:  After 5 [five] hours past 7:00 pm;

The determined time, at this stage of solving this problem, is: 12am ; {commonly known as midnight ; based on the "am/pm" time schedule.

 {Note: "a.m." stands for:  ante meridiem in Latin terminology.}

Then: we add:  " [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] " hour to: 12 am.
____
[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] hr = 0.25 hr.

Given the following values, find the perimeter of the figure shown below:
AB = 8 cm, BC = 3 cm, CD = 1 cm, DE = 2 cm, EF = 3 cm, and FG = 1 cm.
Do not include "cm" with your response.

Answers

The perimeter of the given figure for the given values is equal to 24units.

As given in the question,

Given values of the figure,

AB = 8 cm, BC = 3 cm, CD = 1 cm, DE = 2 cm, EF = 3 cm, and FG = 1 cm

HG = AB - (EF + CD)

      = 8- (3 +1)

      = 4 units

AH = (BC-DE)+FG

     = (3-2)+1

     =2units

Perimeter of the given figure

= AB + BC+ CD+ DE+ EF+ FG+ GH+ HA

= 8+ 3+ 1+ 2+ 3+ 1+ 4+ 2

=24 units

Therefore, the perimeter of the given figure for the given values is equal to 24units.

Answers

The bucket and the jar together will hold (c + d) litres of water.

What is defined as linear equation on two variables?A linear function does have a positive relationship, so increasing one variable (input variable) causes a rise in the second variable (output variable), implying that the variables have always been directly proportional. As a result, the graph of such a linear function is a straight line with a constant slope.Correspondingly, a linear equation is a first-order algebraic equation with two variables and terms with exponents of one.

A linear equation in 2 variables [x and y] is any equation with the form:

ax + by = c and at least one of a or b being non-zero.

This is known as the equation's General Form.

For the given question;

The water hold by bucket = c litres.

The water hold by jar = d litres.

Thus, the water hold by both bucket and jar is is linear equation with two variable c and d.

can a heart beat? (Example 4)

Answers

According to the average rate, Heart can beat 140 times in = 2 minutes and Rate of heart beat= 70 beat per minute .

According to the statement

We have to find that the rate of the heart beat.

So, For this purpose, we know that the

Average rate is a measure of how much the function changed per unit, on average, over that interval.

From the given information:

In 10 minutes, a heart can beat 700 times. At this rate,in how many minutes will a heart beat 140 times?

Then

Heart can beat 700 times in = 10 minutes .

Heart can beat 140 times in = 10*140/700 minutes .

Heart can beat 140 times in = 1400/700 minutes .

Heart can beat 140 times in = 2 minutes .

Rate of heart beat : 140/2 beat per minute.

Rate of heart beat= 70 beat per minute .

Therefore, According to the average rate, Heart can beat 140 times in is 2 minutes and Rate of heart beat is 70 beat per minute.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y=\frac{2}{5}x-3[/tex]

or

[tex]y+3=\frac{2}{5} (x-0)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding the Equation of a Line Given Two Points:In order to find the equation of a line, we must identify point (x,y) and slope (m). Slope formula:  [tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]Point-slope formula: [tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]Slope-intercept formula: [tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

We are given two points on Line A: (0,-3) and (5,-1). We can assign each integer to a variable in the slope formula (see above):

[tex]x_1=0[/tex]

[tex]y_1=-3[/tex]

[tex]x_2=5[/tex]

[tex]y_2=-1[/tex]

As we have identified point, we can now work to identify slope by substituting our points into the slope formula:

[tex]m=\frac{-1-(-3)}{5-0}=\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

Now that we have identified both point and slope for Line A, we can format these values in point-slope form. Substitute values into the formula:

[tex]y-(-3)=\frac{2}{5} (x-0)=y+3=\frac{2}{5}x[/tex]

Solve for [tex]y[/tex] to achieve an answer in slope-intercept form ([tex]y=mx+b)[/tex]:

A percentage is defined as a portion of the whole expressed in the form of 100. There are two ways to calculate a percentage:

The unitary method is implemented.By changing the denominator of the fraction to 100.

As per the given question;

The salary for the current year is given as  37,740.

There is the increase in 2%.

Let the last year's salary be x.

Then 2% of x will be;

x + 2%of x = 37,740

x + 2x/100 = 37,740

x + 0.02x = 37,740

1.02x = 37,740

x =  37,740/1.02

find the measure of the indicated angle that makes lines u and v parallel

Answers

To make lines u and v parallel, the indicated angle must be 108°.

What are angles?An angle is a figure in Plane Geometry formed by two rays or lines that share a common endpoint. "Angle" comes from the Latin word "angulus," which means "corner." The two rays are referred to as the sides of an angle, and the common endpoint is referred to as the vertex.

So, if two parallel lines n and m intersect, then all the angles generated in line m must be exactly the same as the angles generated in line n.

At the intersection of two lines, two adjacent angles must add up to 180°.According to the first criterion, the missing angle denoted by a "?" must have the same measure as the angle just below the 72° angle.

According to the second (and previously used) criterion, we must have:

? + 72° = 180°

When we solve that, we get:

? = 180° - 72° = 108°

Therefore, to make lines u and v parallel, the indicated angle must be 108°.
