If 10 (1/2) : 2 (1/2) then 21 : x what is x?

AND another, SEPARATE, question because I have no points left

11√x = 9√y then what is x/y =


Sagot :

X=5 and
2nd answer is 81/121

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

given

10 [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] : 2 [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Change both mixed numbers into improper fractions

[tex]\frac{2(10)+1}{2}[/tex] : [tex]\frac{2(2)+1}{2}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{20+1}{2}[/tex] : [tex]\frac{4+1}{2}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{21}{2}[/tex] : [tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex] ( multiply both parts by 2 )

= 21 : 5 ← in the form 21 : x

with x = 5

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

given

[tex]\frac{11}{\sqrt{x} }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{9}{\sqrt{y} }[/tex] ( square both sides )

[tex](\frac{11}{\sqrt{x} }) ^{2}[/tex] = [tex](\frac{9}{\sqrt{y}}) ^{2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{121}{x}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{81}{y}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by x )

121 = [tex]\frac{81x}{y}[/tex] (divide both sides by 81 )

[tex]\frac{121}{81}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x}{y}[/tex]
