What is the next fraction in this sequence? Simplify your answer. 4 5 , 2 3 , 8 15 , 2 5 , ...

4/15

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify this question, to make it easier to be solved, we try and make sure that all the fractions have the same denominator. This is done by saying

4/5

2/3

8/15

2/5

From the aforelisted numbers, the highest denominator is 15, and thus, we try to make all the denominators 15

4/5 * 3/3 = 12/15

2/3 * 5/5 = 10/15

8/15 * 1/1 = 8/15

2/5 * 3/3 = 6/15

I multiplied it that way, so that it's decimal value doesn't change, even as it gives us the required fraction.

From the new crop of fractions, we have

12/15

10/15

8/15

6/15

If there's anything, we can tell that the sequence is reducing in a -2/15 rate, and thus, our next sequence has to be 4/15

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

in the given figure, two triangles are inscribed in a circle where ∠bae ≅ ∠dae which makes the side be and de equal so we can write it as:

3x - 24 = x + 10

solving this equation for x to get:

3x - x = 10 + 24

2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

therefore, the value of x = 17.
