Jada solved the equation Negative StartFraction 4 over 9 EndFraction = StartFraction x over 108 EndFraction for x using the step

s below. What was Jada’s error? Negative StartFraction 4 over 9 EndFraction = StartFraction x over 108 EndFraction Negative StartFraction 4 over 9 EndFraction (Negative StartFraction 9 over 4 EndFraction) = StartFraction x over 108 EndFraction (Negative StartFraction 9 over 4 EndFraction) x = negative StartFraction 1 over 48 EndFraction

Answer:

Jada error was he multiplied the equation by (-9/4) to make the coefficient of x one. He should have multiplied it by 108

Step-by-step explanation:

Jada solved the equation

-4/9 = x/108

using the steps below:

-4/9 = x/108

(-4/9)(-9/4) = (x/108)(-9/4)

x = -1/48

Jada should have multiplied through by 108, instead of (-4/9). That was the error he made.

Multiplying through by 108 gives

(-4/9)(108) = (x/108)(108)

-48 = x

x = -48

The answer should have been

x = -48

and not

x = -1/48

the utilities bill for the millers' home in April was $132 fourty two percent of the bills was for gas and the rest was electric

s2008m [1.1K]

The bill was $132

42% was for gas.

Multiply the total bill by 42% ( 0.42) to find the amount spent on gas:

132 x 0.42 = $55.44 was spent on gas.

Now subtract that amount from the total to find how much was spent on electricity:

132 - 55.44 = $76.56 was spent on electricity.

In triangle RST, U is the midpoint of RS, V is the midpoint of ST, and W is the midpoint of TR. Use the triangle diagram to answ

Zolol [24]

(1)

we are given

U is the midpoint of RS

and we have

$RU=12$

so, we can use formula

$RS=2RU$

we can plug values

$RS=2\times 12$

$RS=24$ ............Answer

(2)

V is the midpoint of ST

so, we get

$SV=VT$

now, we can plug values

$2x=11$

divide both sides by 2

$x=5.5$ .........Answer

(3)

now, we can find y

W is the midpoint of TR

so, we get

$RW=WT$

we can plug value

$15.9=3y$

divide both sides by 3

$y=5.3$

(4)

we can see that

triangles URW and RST are similar

so, their sides ratios must be equal

so, we get

$\frac{RW}{RT} =\frac{UW}{ST}$

we can plug values

$\frac{15.9}{2\times 15.9} =\frac{UW}{2VT}$

$\frac{15.9}{2\times 15.9} =\frac{UW}{2\times 11}$

$UW=22\times \frac{15.9}{2\times 15.9}$

$UW=11$ ...........Answer

(5)

we can see that

triangles SUV and RST are similar

so, their sides ratios must be equal

so, we get

$\frac{SU}{SR} =\frac{UV}{RT}$

now, we can plug values

$\frac{12}{2\times 12} =\frac{UV}{2\times 15.9}$

$UV=2\times 15.9\times \frac{12}{2\times 12}$

$UV=15.9$ .............Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

PARA ENCONTRAR CUÁNTO MIDE CAD LADO SE DIVIDE EL PERÍMETRO

ENTRE 4 LADOS

l = 1.28 in

LOEGO ENCUENTRAS EL RADIO DE LA PIRÁMIDE

<em>r</em> = 2.55 in

USANDO LA FÓRMULA

V = 4(1.28 in)(2.55 in)(2.7 in)/6 = $5.9 in^{3}$

Ivan and Tanya share £150 in the ratio 4:1 how much more Ivan has then tanya

Alexeev081 [22]

Hey!

--------------------------------------------------------

Solution:

Ratio is 4/1

Add.

4 + 1 = 5

Divide.

150 / 5 = 30

Multiply for Ivan.

30 x 4 = 120

30 x 1 = 30

Check.

120 + 30 = 150

Subtract.

120 - 30 = 90

--------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

Ivan has £90 more than Tanya has!

--------------------------------------------------------

Hope This Helped! Good Luck!
