The quotient of 40 and the difference of a number y and 16 and y =20

The quotient of 40 and the difference of a number y and 16, when y = 20 is 10.

Given the following data:

In Mathematics, quotient simply means division i.e the division of a number by another number.

Translating the word problem into an algebraic expression, we have;

The difference of a number y and 16:

Quotient of 40 and the difference of a number y and 16:

When y = 20:

Substituting the value of y, we have:

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The expression " the quotient of and the difference of a number y and "  is equivalent to the algebraic equation

For ------> given problem

substitute the value of y in the equation

c.   x=2.4cm

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.

d.) yes, because the volume of the cone is greater than the volume of the sphere
