Fractions and Decimals
A boy on being asked 13/14 of a certain fraction had made the mistake of dividing the fraction by 14/13 and so got an answer that exceeded the correct answer by 3/65. The correct fraction is ?
Let the fraction be N.Then, N / (13/14) - (13/14) x N = 3/65⇒ 14N/13 - 13N/14 = 3/65⇒ (196N - 169N)/182 = 3/65⇒ 27N/182 = 3/65∴ N = (3 x 182) / (27 x 65) = 14/45So, correct answer will be (13/14) x (14/45) = 13/45
Let the weight of vesel = x kg Then, 1/4 of volume of water = (5.25 - x)kg Full volume of water = (16.5 - x)∴ 4(5.25 - x) = (16.5 - x)⇒ 21 - 4x = 16.5 - x ⇒ 21 - 16.5 = 3x ∴ x = 4.5/3 = 1.5 kg
Given Expression = (.53)³ - (.42)³- 3 x .58 x .42 x (.58-.42)= a³-b³ -3ab(a - b) = (a - b)³(where a = .58 and b=.42)= (.58 - .42 )³ = .16 x .16 x .16 = 0.004096
