During a checkers game, there are 16 pieces left. The ratio of black to red is 3 : 5. How many black pieces are on the board? Explain how you found your answer.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

6 black pieces

10 red pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

The way to interpret ratios is like so:

Adding up both parts of the ratio gives 8, i.e. 3 + 5

So for every 8 pieces, 3 are black and 5 are red;

There are 16 pieces, which is 2 × 8;

So, there are (2 × 3) black pieces and (2 × 5) red pieces, i.e. 6 black and 10 red

So, to solve:

Add all parts of the ratio (3 + 5);

Divide the number of pieces (16) by this sum of ratio parts (8);

Multiply the value from the division (2) by each part of the ratio

Tip:

It is important to take note of the order in the ratio, so the ratio of black to red means the number that comes first in the ratio represents parts black and the one that comes second represents parts red;

If the wording was the ratio of red to black, the number that comes first would represent parts red and the second would represent parts black

HELP PLEASE. The product of the roots of the equation ax^2+x-24=0 is equal to -2 2/5. Find the value of a in the equation.

Answers

The value of a in the equation is 10

The root of the equation is determined using the equation shown below:

[tex]x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}[/tex]

Given the quadratic equation ax^2+x-24=0;

a = ab = 1c = -24

The product of the quadratic equation is c/a

Product = c/a

- 2 2/5 = -24/a

-12/5 = -24/a

-12a = 5 * -24

-12a = -120

a = 10

Hence the value of a in the equation is 10

You are running a fuel economy study. One of the cars you find is blue. It can travel 44 1/2miles on 1 and 1/4 gallons of gasoline. Another car is red. It can travel 27 1/5 miles on 4/5 gallon of gasoline. What is the unit rate for miles per gallon for each car? Which car could travel the greater distance on 1 gallon of gasoline?

Answers

Answer:

Blue car

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the miles per gallon rate of each car

Blue car:

44 1/2 ÷ 1 1/4 = 89/2 ÷ 5/4 = 89/2 × 4/5 = 356 / 10 = 35.6 miles per gallon

Red car:

27 1/5 ÷ 4/5 = 136/5 × 5/4 = 136/4 = 34 miles per gallon

According the rates, the blue car could travel the greater distance

We suspect the intended answer for the second question is A 25° and 65°. These are possible measures for the acute angles in a right triangle, which must total 90°. No angle will be more than 90° (eliminates C and D), and the two smallest angles must total 90° (eliminates B).

2 sin A = √3

=》sin A = √3/2

■ If sin A = √3/2, then A = 60° (trigonometric value)

So,

cot A = cot 60° = 1/√3

1 - cot²A / 2 cot A

= 1 - (1/√3)² / 2*(1/√3)

= 1 - (1/3) / 2/√3

= 2/3 / 2/√3

= 2/3 / 2√3/3

Cancel out the 3 in the denominator.

= 2/2√3

= 1/√3

1 - cot²A / 2 cot A = 1/√3

● See the attachment for the trigonometric values.

Hope it helps ⚜

Answer:

√3/3

Step-by-step explanation:

2 sinA = √3 ⇒ sinA = √3/2

Rewrite as:

(1 - cot²A)/2cotA = (1 - cos²A/sin²A)/(2cosA/sinA) = sinA[(sin²A - cos²A)/sin²A] / (2cosA) =(2sin²A - 1)/(2sinAcosA) = (2sin²A - 1)/[2sinA√(1 - sin²A)]

Substitute the value of sinA:

(2(√3/2)² - 1) / [√3 √{1 - (√3/2)²)] =(3/2 - 1)/[√3√(1/4)] =(1/2) /(√3/2) = 1/√3 = √3/3

A solution to the linear equation 6x+2y=-32 is. ( _ ,8)

Answers

Answer:  -8

The ordered pair solution is ( -8, 8 )

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

To get that answer, we plug in y = 8 and solve for x.

6x+2y = -32

6x+2(8) = -32

6x+16 = -32

6x = -32-16

6x = -48

x = -48/6

x = -8

So that's how we end up with ( -8, 8 ). This point is on the line 6x+2y = -32.

What is the scale factor that takes the large triangle to the small triangle?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

such a scale factor applies to all sides and lines.

we see that DE is 12 units, and AB is 4 units.

so,

12×f = 4

f = 4/12 = 1/3 is the scale factor

control : check the other side

FE = 6 units

6 × 1/3 = 2

so, the corresponding side in the small triangle must be 2 units long.

and indeed, CB is 2 units long. all correct.
