Answer:

Ok, supongamos que en total hay N canicas.

1/5 de esas canicas se le dieron a Thales.

Entonces el resto ahora es:

1 - 1/5 = 4/5.

1/3 de esas canicas se le dieron a Arquimedes.

Entonces Arquimedes recibe:

(1/3)(4/5) = 4/15 de las canicas totales.

El resto, que eran 16, se le dieron a Pitagoras.

Ahora, las dos primeras entregas fueron:

1/5 + 4/15 = 3/15 + 4/15 = 7/15.

El resto seria:

1 - 7/15 = 8/15.

Y sabemos que el resto es igual a 16 canicas, entonces tenemos que:

(8/15)*N = 16.

De aca podemos calcular el numero total de canicas.

N = 16*(15/8) = 30

Esto quiere decir que inicialmente hay 30 canicas.

Thales recibe 30*(1/5) = 7 canicas.

Arquimedes recibe 30*(4/15) = 8 canicas.

Pitagoras recibe 16 canicas.

On a coordinate plane, a triangle has points (negative 5, 1), (2, 1), (2, negative 1).
daser333 [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a triangle has points:

(-5,1),(2,1), (2,-1)

Let us label the points:

A(2,1),

B(-5,1) and  

C(2,-1)

To find:

Distance between (−5, 1) and (2, −1) i.e. BC.

Horizontal leg AB and

Vertical leg, AC.

Solution:

Please refer to the attached diagram for the labeling of the points on xy coordinate plane.

We can simply use Distance formula here, to find the distance between two coordinates.

Distance formula :

D = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

For BC:

x_2 = 2\\x_1 = -5\\y_2 = -1\\y_1 = 1

BC = \sqrt{(2--5)^2+(-1-1)^2} = \sqrt{63}

Horizontal leg, AC:

x_2 = -5\\x_1 = 2\\y_2 = 1\\y_1 = 1

AC = \sqrt{(2-(-5))^2+(1-1)^2} = 7

Vertical Leg,  AB:

x_2 = 2\\x_1 = 2\\y_2 = -1\\y_1 = 1

AB = \sqrt{(2-2)^2+(-1-1)^2} = 2

Compare partial products and regrouping how the methods are alike and different
shtirl [24]
<span>Partial products are different in regrouping in terms of how numbers are clustered from a set equation as a whole delivering it individual but naturally to all the numbers involved in the set. </span>
Regrouping is just like the commutative or associative property of numbers.
<span>Associative property of addition is used when you want to group addends. This is mainly used to cluster set of numbers or in this case, addends. How do you use the associative property when you break apart addends? Simple you group them using the open and closed parentheses or brackets. Take for an example 1 + 1 + 2 = 4. Using the associative property you can have either (1 + 1) + 2 = 4 or 1 + (1 + 2) = 4 clustered into place.

What proportion results in the equation 9m=10n
Serhud [2]
Give the equation 9m = 10n

Dividing both sides by 9n, we have
\frac{9m}{9n} = \frac{10n}{9n}  \\  \\  \frac{m}{n} = \frac{10}{9}

Therefore, the <span>proportion that results in the equation 9m = 10n is
\frac{m}{n}=\frac{10}{9}

If h(x) = 6 - X, what is the value of (h*n (10)?
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

<u>(h * h)(10) = 16</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

We should know that: (f*g)(x) = f(x)*g(x)

Given:   h(x) = 6 - x

∴(h * h)(x) = (6-x) (6-x) = (6-x)²

To find (h * h)(10), substitute with x = 10 at (h * h)(x)

∴ (h * h)(10) =  (6-10)² = (-4)² = 16

==============================================

Note: if we want to find (hoh)(10)

(hoh)(x) = h[h(x)] = 6 - (6 - x) = 6 - 6 + x = x

∴ (hoh)(10) = 10
