The author believes we are “endangering our health by not using the metric system.” Do you agree or disagree and why?

I agree with the author. By using the metric system we know the exact amount of a medicine we took, whether it's in mg or mL. This way every doctor can prescribe the same amount.
If we were using some other units this may not be the case. For example, british and american inch were different until 1950's.

Example: if you go to a surgery and a doctor needs to cut "1 inch from the left part" it may cause a mistake as this unit is different in different countries. But if he needs to cut "2.5 cm from the left part" he knows exactly where to cut.

Another benefit of using metric system is that it is being used in almost every country in the world.

The ratio of boys to girls in a certain classroom was 2 : 3. If boys represented five more than one third of the class, how many

Tju [1.3M]

Let the no. Of boys=x and that of girls=y.
The total no. Of students = x+y .
As given by statement the no. Of boys=x={(x+y)/3} + 5
This implies that
X=(x+y+15)/3
Also we know that x/y = 2/3 therefore
From this equation we get x=2y/3 and y=3x/2
By method of substitution we get
X=(x+3x/2+15)/3
•x=(15x+90)/2
•2x=15x+90
•-13x=90
X= -90/13
Now. Y= 3x/2=-270/26
Therefore total
no. Of students= -270/26+(-90/13)
•no. Of students= -450/26
According to me this is an imaginary question i mean how can their be a negative person

What is the proof the formula for cos(A+B)=cosAcosB-sinAsinB?

brilliants [131]

Given data, cos(A - B) = cosAcosB + sinAsinB
let, A=60' and B=30' ( here the ' sign bears degree) 
L.H.S = cos(A - B) 
=cos (60'-30) ( using value of A and B ) 
=cos30' 
= sqrt3/2 
R.H.S= cosAcosB + sinAsinB 
=cos60' cos30' + sin60' sin30' 
= 1/2* sqrt3/2+ sqrt3/2*1/2 
= sqrt3/4 + sqrt3/4 
=2 sqrt3/4 
= sqrt3/2 
so L.H.S =R.H.S or cos(A - B) = cosAcosB + sinAsinB

El producto de dos números consecutivos es 552 cuáles son esos números?

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer: 23 y 24 ( ó -23 y -24)

Step-by-step explanation:

Dos números consecutivos se escriben como:

n y (n + 1)

done n es un numero entero.

Entonces "El producto de dos números consecutivos es 552"

Se escribe como:

n*(n + 1) = 552

n^2 + n = 552

n^2 + n - 552 = 0

Tenemos una cuadrática, las posibles soluciones son obtenidas con la formula de Bhaskara.

$n = \frac{-1 +- \sqrt{1^2 - 4*1*(-552)} }{2} = \frac{-1 +- 47}{2}$

Las dos soluciones son.

n = (-1 - 47)/2 = -48/2 = -24

n = (-1 + 47)/2 = 46/2 = 23

Si tomamos la primer solución, n = -24

Entonces los dos números consecutivos son:

n = -24

(n + 1) = -23

Si n = 23 entonces

n + 1 = 24

Lo cual tiene sentido, por que lo único que cambia son los signos, los cuales se cancelarían en la multiplicación.

Divide rs 350 in ratio 2:5

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

100 : 250

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum the parts of the ratio, 2 + 5 = 7 parts

Divide the quantity by 7 to find the value of one part of the ratio.

350 ÷ 7 = 50 ← value of 1 part of the ratio, thus

2 parts = 2 × 50 = 100

5 parts = 5 × 50 = 250

350 = 100 : 250 in the ratio 2 : 5
