A-B=18 A:B is equivalent to 11:5

2 answers:

8 0

One way is to use brute force (find bigger equivalent ratios and add them)
11:5
to make them bigger, we multiply both by the same number
11:5
11+5=16 nope
11:5 times 5 to both=55:25
add
55+25=80
we can just add the numbers before multiplying and then multiply after

11+5=16
16 times what=18
divide both sides by 16
1.125=what
we need to multiply each by 1.125
11:5 times 1.125 to both =12.375 : 5.625
12.375+5.625=18

a=12.375
b=5.625

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

A= 33 and B = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of A and B, we need to take into account the proportion A: B that is equal to 11:5. We <u>can multiply both quantities of this proportion</u> by some number to find two values that satisfy A - B = 18.

The simplest case would be to think A = 11 and B = 5, but 11-5 is not equal to 18 ⇒ 11 - 5 = 6 which does not satisfy A - B = 18.

Another option to find an answer is to multiply the ratio by two: 2 (11: 5) = 22:10, but it turns out that is A = 22 and B = 10 ⇒22-10 is not equal to 18 either.

Thus we arrive at the one that is the correct answer, <u>multiplying the proportion by three</u>: 3 (11: 5) = 33 - 15, and in this case we would have A = 33 and B = 15, which meets the condition A - B = 18, because 33 - 15 = 18

marin [14]

Answer:

The volume of the larger solid is $1,798\ ft^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the scale factor

we know that

If two figures are similar , then the ratio of its surface areas is equal to the scale factor squared

Let

z-------> the scale factor

x-------------> surface area larger solid

y-------------> surface area smaller solid

$z^{2} =\frac{x}{y}$

substitute

$z^{2} =\frac{1,198}{312}$

$z=\sqrt{\frac{1,198}{312}}$ ----> scale factor

step 2

Find the volume of the larger solid

we know that

If two figures are similar , then the ratio of its volumes is equal to the scale factor elevated to the cube

Let

z-------> the scale factor

x-------------> volume of the larger solid

y-------------> volume of the smaller solid

$z^{3}=\frac{x}{y}$

we have

$z=\sqrt{\frac{1,198}{312}}$

$y=239\ ft^{3}$

substitute the values

$(\sqrt{\frac{1,198}{312}}^{3})=\frac{x}{239}$

$x=239*(\sqrt{\frac{1,198}{312}}^{3})=1,798\ ft^{3}$

Flura [38]

Answer:

$9 for 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the price by the quantity to receive the unit price. Here are the unit prices for each option:

1. $0.54

2. $0.43

3. $0.31

4. $0.28

5. $0.25

Basically, you want the lowest price. So, $9 for 36 is the best value because it costs $0.25 per pen.

melamori03 [73]

Hi there!

We are looking for perpendicular angles, which means the angle between the streets is 90 degrees. So, each time we need to find the street that intersects the given street with a 90 degree angle.

On this map, Oxford Street is perpendicular to Waterloo St., and Rosewood Street is perpendicular to Oak St..

The answers are (in correct order): Waterloo St. and Oak St..
