Answer:

Yes. The are equivalent to each other

Step-by-step explanation:

21 : 35

The LCM of these two numbers is 7

When we divide both of them by 7, we're left with 3:5

24 : 40

The LCM of these two numbers is 8

When we divide both numbers by 8, we're left with 3:5

And, 3:5 = 3:5, so we can say 21:35 = 24:40

<em>PS: Also, if we multiply 21 : 35 by 8 and 24 : 40 by 7, we get the same result, i.e 168 : 280 which also proves that they are equivalent.</em>

It’s true

21:35 simplifies to 3:5 when divided by 7 on both sides

24:40 also simplifies to 3:5 when divided by 8 on both sides

Hope that helps!

In a continuous series, mean(x) = 80, assumed mean(A) = 60 and<br>EF=40 then find the value of EFd.

Aneli [31]

Using the given information, the value of Σfd is 800

<h3>Calculating mean using Assumed mean </h3>

From the question, we are to determine the value of Σfd

The formula for mean, using the assumed mean method is given by

$\bar x = A + \frac{\sum fd}{\sum f}$

Where $\bar x$ is the mean

A is the assumed mean

From the given information,

$\bar x = 80$

$A = 60$

$\sum f = 40$

Putting the parameters into the equation, we get

$80 = 60 + \frac{\sum fd}{40}$

$80-60 = \frac{\sum fd}{40}$

$20 = \frac{\sum fd}{40}$

$\sum fd = 20 \times 40$

$\sum fd = 800$

Hence, the value of Σfd is 800

Sean is helping his dad build a tiled walkway in their backyard. The walkway will be 60 feet long and 2 feet wide. The local har

Natalija [7]

Length of the walkway that needs to be tiled = 60 feet
Width of the walkway that needs to be tiled = 2 feet.
Then
Area of the walkway that needs to be tiled = Length * Breadth
= 60 * 2 square feet
= 120 square feet
Now
Length of the tiles sold by the local store = 2 feet
Width of the tiles sold by the local store = 2 feet
Area covered by the tiles sold by the local store = 2 * 2 feet
= 4 square feet
Number of tiles in a box = 6
Then
Total area covered by a box of tile = (6 * 2) square feet
= 12 square feet
Then
The number of boxes required by Sean = (120/12)
= 10
So 10 boxes of tiles are needed by Sean and his father.

What is the slope-intercept form of this equation?

kirill [66]

Answer:

y = -8x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form: y = mx + b

m ---> Slope & b ----> y-intercept

8x + y = 12

Subtract 8x from both sides

y = -8x + 12
