Step-by-step solution
40 stepsHere are the answers to your questions:
- Calculate the square root of .
Apply the square root to the numerator and denominator.
$$ \sqrt{\frac{1}{16}} = \frac{\sqrt{1}}{\sqrt{16}} $$Calculate the square roots.
$$ \frac{\sqrt{1}}{\sqrt{16}} = \frac{1}{4} $$ The final answer is $\boxed{\frac{1}{4}}$.12. Express as a single fraction.
Find a common denominator, which is $3x$.
Rewrite each fraction with the common denominator and add.
$$ \frac{4}{x} + \frac{y}{3} = \frac{4 \cdot 3}{x \cdot 3} + \frac{y \cdot x}{3 \cdot x} = \frac{12}{3x} + \frac{xy}{3x} $$Combine the fractions.
$$ \frac{12}{3x} + \frac{xy}{3x} = \frac{12 + xy}{3x} $$ The final answer is $\boxed{\frac{12 + xy}{3x}}$.13. Find the multiplicative inverse of .
The multiplicative inverse of a number is its reciprocal.
Find the reciprocal of .
$$ \text{Multiplicative inverse of } \frac{1}{7} = \frac{1}{\frac{1}{7}} = 7 $$ The final answer is $\boxed{7}$.14. A bag contains 15 red, 13 green and 12 white balls. The probability of taking 1 red ball out of it is:
Calculate the total number of balls.
$$ \text{Total balls} = 15 + 13 + 12 = 40 $$Determine the number of red balls.
$$ \text{Number of red balls} = 15 $$Calculate the probability.
$$ P(\text{red ball}) = \frac{\text{Number of red balls}}{\text{Total balls}} = \frac{15}{40} $$ The final answer is $\boxed{\text{d. } \frac{15}{40}}$.15. The sides of a rectangle are 5cm and 12cm, find the length of the diagonal.
Use the Pythagorean theorem, , where and are the sides and is the diagonal.
$$ \text{Diagonal}^2 = (5 \text{ cm})^2 + (12 \text{ cm})^2 $$ $$ \text{Diagonal}^2 = 25 \text{ cm}^2 + 144 \text{ cm}^2 $$ $$ \text{Diagonal}^2 = 169 \text{ cm}^2 $$Take the square root.
$$ \text{Diagonal} = \sqrt{169 \text{ cm}^2} = 13 \text{ cm} $$ The final answer is $\boxed{\text{b. } 13 \text{ cm}}$.16. How many lines of symmetry has a kite? A kite has one line of symmetry, which is its main diagonal. The final answer is .
- Convert the bearing to a compass bearing.
A bearing of is in the third quadrant (between and ).
Calculate the angle from the South line ().
$$ 269^\circ - 180^\circ = 89^\circ $$ Since it's in the third quadrant, the direction is West of South. The final answer is $\boxed{\text{a. S } 89^\circ \text{ W}}$.18. What is the area of a parallelogram whose length is 7cm and base 5cm?
Assume "length" is the base and "base" is the perpendicular height for area calculation.
Use the formula for the area of a parallelogram
Area = base height. The final answer is .
- Ibadan is on a bearing of from Yola. What is the bearing of Yola from Ibadan?
To find the back bearing, if the original bearing is greater than , subtract .
$$ \text{Back bearing} = 240^\circ - 180^\circ = 60^\circ $$ The final answer is $\boxed{\text{d. } 060^\circ}$.20. What is the perimeter of a regular hexagon with the length of sides 1.6cm?
A regular hexagon has 6 equal sides.
Calculate the perimeter by multiplying the side length by 6.
$$ \text{Perimeter} = 6 \times 1.6 \text{ cm} = 9.6 \text{ cm} $$ The final answer is $\boxed{\text{d. } 9.6 \text{ cm}}$.
