the numerator of a fraction is 2 less than the denominator . If one is added to its denominator ,it becomes 1/2 ,find the fraction.

tell me with full explanation​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

numerator = 2 and denominator is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

let the denominator be x

numerator = x-2

according to the question

[tex]\frac{x-2}{x} = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

do cross multiplication

x*1 = 2(x-2)

x = 2x -4

4 = 2x - x

4 = x

therefore denominator is 4

numerator = x-2

=4-2

=2

Two of the three views of a solid are shown. A. What is the greatest number of unit cubes in the solid? Greatest number of unit cubes: cubes b. What is the least number of unit cubes in the solid? Least number of unit cubes: cubes Question 2

Answers

Answer: hello the views attached to your question is missing hence I will provide a more general answer based on the scope of your question

answer :

a) 8 unit cubes

b) 1 unit cube

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of views a solid figure can have are : Top view , Front view and side view  and The greatest number of unit cubes in a solid depends on the side length of the unit cube

a) For a unit cube with side length half ( 1/2) the Unit length of the given solid the greatest number of unit cubes = 8  while

b) The least number of unit cube = 1  

What is the sum of (2n – 5m) and (n + m)?

Answers

Answer:

3n - 4m

Step-by-step explanation:

(2n-5m)+(n+m)

so we get this equation and from here, we expand the equation by removing the brackets, you should get:

2n-5m+n+m and just solve from here.

to make it easier, put the like terms together:

2n+n+m-5m

= 3n-4m

Answer:

3n - 4m

Step-by-step explanation:

(2n – 5m) and (n + m) in this case have the same value if the parentheses are removed.  We end up with:

2n – 5m

 n +   m

--------------        Grouping like terms vertically, as shown here, may make this

                         addition a bit easier.

2n – 5m

 n +   m

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

 3n - 4m (final answer)

Answer:

94

Step-by-step explanation:

the sample size of the first survey is 15+26+7 = 48

so, for 48 surveyed teachers we get 15 SUV drivers.

our expectations is to get the same ratio also for other sample sizes (like 300).

15/48 = x/300

x = 15×300 / 48 = 15×75 / 12 = 93.75 ≈ 94

Sarah's family traveled 5 8 of the distance to her grandmother's house on Saturday. They traveled 1 3 of the remaining distance on Sunday. What fraction of the total distance to her grandmother's house was traveled on Sunday?

Answers

Answer: The fraction of the total distance to her grandmother's house was traveled on Sunday = [tex]\dfrac18[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the total distance to grandmother's house .

As per given,

Distance traveled on Saturday = [tex]\dfrac58x[/tex]

Remaining distance = [tex]x-\dfrac58 x[/tex]

[tex]=\dfrac38x[/tex]

Distance traveled of Sunday = [tex]\dfrac13[/tex] of Remaining distance

= [tex]\dfrac13\times\dfrac{3}{8}x[/tex]

= [tex]\dfrac18 x[/tex]

The fraction of the total distance to her grandmother's house was traveled on Sunday = [tex]\dfrac18[/tex]

Find the measure of each interior angle and each exterior angle of a regular nonagon (a nine-sided polygon).
Measure of each interior angle =
x

?
Measure of each exterior angle =

Answers

Answer:

Interior-140° Exterior-40°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the interior angles of a polygon are given by 180(n-2) where n is the number of sides.

Therefore, the sum of all interior angles in a nonagon is 180(9-2) or 180×7. This equals to 1260°.

To get the individual interior angle, you use [tex]\frac{s}{n}[/tex], with n defined above and s being the sum of interior angles.

Therefore, each angle is [tex]\frac{1260}{9}[/tex]°, which can be solved to 140°.

The value of an individual exterior angle is given by 180-i, with i being the individual interior angle (this is because the 2 angles form a straight line).

In this case, 180-140=40°.

Each interior angle of a nonagon is 140°, and each exterior angle is 40°.

Someone please help?? Solve for angle DCE

Answers

Answer:

58 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

By looking at the diagram we can see that angle DCE is an outside angle

There is a special relationship between the outside angle and the arcs it intercepts

The theorem states that the outside angle is equal to half the difference of the intercepted arcs

In other words [tex]outside angle= \frac{arc AC - arc BD (the difference of the arcs)}{2}[/tex]

Knowing this formula we can solve for DCE

So it would be [tex]angle DCE= \frac{238-arcDE}{2}[/tex]

Well we do not know what arcDE is

Since we are given that the other arc is 238 we can take 238 and subtract is from 360

this will give us 122

so you have angle DCE= 238-122/2

238 minus 122 is 116

Angle DCE-=116/2

Angle DCE=58 degrees

There are other ways you can do this but this is just one of them

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two points so we can use the slope formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = ( -16 - -8)/(-8 -  -10)

The length of a rectangle is 4 yd longer than its width.
If the perimeter of the rectangle is 56 yd, find its length and width.

Answers

Answer: The length of the rectangle is 16 yards and the width is 12 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

The length is 4 yds longer than the width. Let's remove that from the perimeter so that the perimeter will be as if all sides had the same length (remember there are 2 sides for length and 2 sides for width).

[tex]56-4-4\\48[/tex]

Now we made it so that the extra 4 yards are gone and all sides are equal like a square. Now we can divide by 4 to determine the length of each of the now equal sides

[tex]\frac{48}{4} =12[/tex]

So all of the sides are 12, 12, 12, and 12. To two of the sides we can add back the extra 4 yards we took out giving us sides of 12, 12, 16, and 16.

Let's add it all together and see if it makes the perimeter of 56

[tex]12+12+16+16\\24+32\\56[/tex]

It does! Since the length is 4 yds longer than the width the length is 16 and width is 12.

Brainliest

Answers

The answer is 5% because:
The probability of a successful outcome is (number of ways of achieving a successful outcome)/(number of ways of achieving any outcome).
The probability of first drawing blue is 4/16 = 1/4
Once a blue marble has been drawn the number of yellow marbles is unchanged (3) but the total number of marbles is now only 15. So the probability of drawing yellow is 3/15 = 1/5
The probability of drawing first blue then yellow is the product of these two results = 1/4 * 1/5 = 1/20 = 5%

Answer:

[tex]\frac{1}{20}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we can use the definition of probability: the amount of desirable outcomes divided by the total amount of outcomes. In order to find the probability of dependent events, events that depend on each other, we multiply the probability of the first event by the probability of the second event happening after the outcome of the first. Our two events are choosing a blue marble and then choosing a yellow.

There are a total of 16 marbles as given by the problem, this is our total number of outcomes. There are 4 outcomes where we can pick a blue marble, so the probability of choosing a blue marble is [tex]\frac{4}{16}[/tex] or [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex].

Now, we need to find the probability of choosing a yellow marble after the blue marble. If we already chose a blue marble, in total, there will only be 15 marbles instead of 16, because it is with out replacement. This gives us the total amount of outcomes. Next, we picked a blue already, so it does not affect the amount of yellow marbles left, which is 3 yellow marbles. From this, we can say the probability of picking a yellow marble given a blue marble was already picked is [tex]\frac{3}{15}[/tex] or [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex].

All we have to do now is multiply the two probabilities to find what we are looking for: [tex]\frac{1}{4} *\frac{1}{5} =\frac{1}{20}[/tex]. So, the probability of drawing a blue marble followed by a yellow marble is [tex]\frac{1}{20}[/tex]

whats the value of x? -5(x + 7) = -14 + 2x

Answers

Answer: x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok let's start by using the distributive property

[tex](-5)(x)+(-5)(7)=-14+2x\\-5x-35=-14+2x[/tex]

Now subtract 2x from both sides

[tex]-5x-35-2x=2x-14-2x\\-7x-35=-14[/tex]

Next add 35 to both sides

[tex]-7x-35+35=-14+35\\-7x=21[/tex]

Finally divide both sides by -7

[tex]\frac{-7x}{-7} =\frac{21}{-7} \\x=-3[/tex]

Answer:

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we compute -5(x + 7). -5(x + 7) = -5x - 35. Plugging this into the equation, we have -5x - 35 = -14 + 2x Next, we combine like terms by moving all terms with the variable x to the left side. We have -5x - 2x = -14 + 35. We simplify the equation into -7x = 21. Divide 21 by -7, and we get x = -3.
