The Fraction for the given word problem is x/y = 9/11

What is Fraction?

A fraction, which derives from the Latin word fractus, meaning "broken," is a portion of a whole or, more broadly, any number of equal parts. A fraction, such as one-half, eight-fifths, or three-quarters, indicates the number of parts of a particular size when it is used in everyday speech.

Let the fraction be x/y

The numerator of a fraction is 2 minus its denomination.

⇒ x = y - 2 .....(i)

When 3 is subtracted from numerator and from denomination the new fraction obtained is 3/4

⇒ x - 3/y - 3 = 3/4

Can also be written as

⇒ 4(x + 3) = 3(y - 3)

⇒ 4x - 12 = 3y - 9

⇒ 4x - 3y = -9 + 12

⇒ 4x - 3y = 3 .....(ii)

Substitute the value of (i) in (ii)

⇒ 4x - 3y = 3

⇒ 4(y - 2) - 3y = 3

⇒ 4y - 8 - 3y = 3

⇒ y - 8 = 3

⇒ y = 3 + 8

⇒ y = 11

Putting the value of y in (i).

⇒ x = y - 2

⇒ x = 11 - 2

⇒ x = 9

Hence, Fraction = x/y = 9/11

What is a linear equation?

The algebraic equation y=mx+b is known as a linear equation. B is the y-intercept, and m is the slope. The previous sentence, where y and x are variables, is commonly referred to as a "linear equation in two variables." Bivariate linear equations are those that contain two variables in them. The linear equations 2x - 3 = 0, 2y = 8, m + 1 = 0, x/2 = 3, x + y = 2, and 3x - y + z = 3 are examples. When an equation has the formula y=mx+b, with m denoting the slope and b the y-intercept, it is referred to as being linear.

Answer:

a = 1.5

VW = 9 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the tangent lines connect both circles, we know that the line VU and VX are congruent (equal). Thus, we can set them equal to each other and solve for a:

a + 4 = a² + 0.25                            Set equal

a² - a = 3.75                                    Isolate a values

a² - a + 0.25 = 3.75 + 0.25            Complete the square

(a + 0.5)² = 4                                  Factor

a + 0.5 = 2                                     Simplify

a = 1.5

Now we need to calculate VW, but thats easy because its equal to TV, and since we know a, we can just plug it in:

((1.5) + 7.5) ft

Find the common ratio of the geometric sequence 6, 24, 96, ...

Answer:

The common ratio is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

How?

Multiplying or dividing is how to get the common ratio in a geometric sequence (moving from either left to right or right to left) *in this question to be precise* okay so...

Moving from right to left, and dividing, 96 ÷ 24 is 4; 24 ÷6 is 4 so the common ration is still 4.

(To find the next terms, moving from left to right, and multiplying, multiply the previous term by the common ration, so the next term after 96 is 96 × 4, which is 384, and you continue....)

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

(1, 4)(2, 8)(3, 12)

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratios all have ...

  first number : second number = 1 : 4

Using first numbers of 1, 2, 3, the second numbers can be found by multiplying these by 4. (1, 4), (2, 8), (3, 12)

__

You plot these (x, y) points the same way you plot any point on a coordinate grid. The first (x) value is the horizontal distance from the vertical axis. Positive is to the right. The second (y) value is the vertical distance from the horizontal axis. Positive is up.

__

Of course, the origin is where the horizontal and vertical axes meet. It can be convenient to find one of the coordinates on its respective axis, then use the other coordinate to find the point at the desired distance from that axis.

Usually, you would choose the axis on the basis of how easy it is to determine exactly where the coordinate lies. If the y-axis is marked every 5, for example, it might be hard to determine where a multiple of 4 will lie. Locating the x-coordinate on the x-axis may be an easier way to start.

The right triangle represents a sketch of a wheelchair ramp that meets safety requirements. What is the horizontal distance required for the ramp? Round your answer the nearest tenth

Answers

The horizontal distance required for the ramp is 143.5 inches

Consider the following figure.

In right triangle ACB, CB is the horizontal distance,

hypotenuse AB = 144 in.

and the vertical distance AC = 12 in.

We need to find the measure of side CB

Let m be the measure of the horizontal distance CB

Using Pythagoras theorem for right triangle ACB,

(AB)² = (AC)² + (CB)²

Substitute given values in above equation.

(144)² = (12)² + (m)²

20736 = 144 + m^2

20736 - 144 = 144 + m^2 - 144

20592 = m^2

m^2 = 20592

m = 143.5 in.

Therefore,  the horizontal distance is 143.5 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A system of equations is a set of two or more equations that represent a relationship between two or more variables. A solution of this system is an ordered pair that satisfies each equation in the system. Finding the set of all solutions is called solving the system of equations. Solving a system of equations by graphing is exactly what the name implies – graph both equations, and their point(s) of intersection is the solution. A system of linear equations only have one solution because each equation is a straight line, they will only have one point of intersection (unless, of course, they are the same line).

THE TWO LINES WOULD INTERSECT (6, 2). BECAUSE THE SOLUTION IS THE INTERSECTION..

(Find the expected value of the winnings from a game that has the following payout probability)
I have all the answers with work shown and how to solve on the second image
Hope this help you guys :)

Answers

Answer:

The expected value is $2.1

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have an event with some given outcomes:

x₁, x₂, ..., xₙ

Such that each one of these outcomes has the correspondent probability:

p₁, p₂, ..., pₙ

The expected value is:

EV = p₁*x₁ + ... + pₙ*xₙ

In this case we have a table with the events (the payouts) and the probability for each one, so we have:

x₁ = $0

p₁ = 0.5

x₂ = $2

p₂ = 0.2

x₃ = $4

p₃ = 0.15

x₄ = $6

p₄ = 0.1

x₅ = $10

p₅ = 0.05

Now we can just replace these in the expected value equation, so we get:

EV = $0*0.5 + $2*0.2 + $4*0.15 + $6*0.1 + $10*0.05 = $2.1

Answer:

El perímetro de un terreno rectangular mide 48 m . Calcula sus dimensiones si el largo es el doble que el ancho.

Respuesta:

De largo mide 16m

De ancho mide 8m

Explicación paso a paso:

Perímetro = número de lados multiplicado por longitud del lado.

Formula: P = 2(a + b)  o    P = 2b + 2h

Donde: P = Rectángulo del perímetro

           a y b = Longitudes de lados

Asignamos las variables:

Largo = 2x

Ancho = x

Utilizamos la formula:

2(x) + 2(2x) = 48

2x + 4x = 48

6x = 48

x = 48/6

How to obtain the equation for the line of fit?

The equation for the line of fit is obtained inserting the points of the data-set into a linear regression calculator.

From the scatter plot, the points are given as follows:

(1, 5.4), (2, 5), (3, 4.6), (4, 4.9), (5, 4.1), (6, 3.9), (7, 3.6), (8, 3.3).

Inserting these points into the linear regression calculator, we get

y = -0.29x + 5.67.

Now, for x= 10 year

y = -0.29(10) + 5.67 = 2.77 minutes.

which is closest to 2.83 minutes.
