-\displaystyle\frac{1}{2} :1\frac{3}{4}

First , convert the mixed number (the fraction we are dividing by in the given maths problem) into an improper fraction .

Multiply the whole part (1) times the denominator (4) and add the numerator . The result is the numerator of our fraction , and the denominator stays the same .

So now our maths problem looks as follows :

-\displaystyle\frac{1}{2} :\frac{7}{4}

Now turn the fraction you are dividing by over :

-\displaystyle\frac{1}{2} *\frac{4}{7}

Now multiply the numerator of the first fraction times the numerator of the second fraction :

4

Perform the same operation with the denominators :

-4/14

So the result is :

-\displaystyle\frac{4}{14}

Since the above fraction is not in it's simplest form , we divide the top and bottom by 2 (a common factor of both 4 and 14) :

-\displaystyle\frac{2}{7}

In the literal equation below, what do C and F represent?
Zolol [24]
Answer: Variables

F and C are placeholders for numbers. They are called variables because they are allowed to vary, or change. If you change C then it affects F, and vice versa. If the values for the placeholders is not allowed to change, yet it holds a number, then it is considered a constant. In this case, we don't have constants or else the formula isn't too useful.

Gianna is preparing for the upcoming tennis season. According to her schedule, she can complete at most 10 workouts this week. I
Strike441 [17]
The whole number of minutes that Gianna complete each week as a function of x and y:
45x+30y
Since the above number is greater than 450 minutes, we get the inequality:
45x+30y\geq450
Also, "she can complete at most 10 workouts this week" so we deduce the inequality:
\\x+y\leq10
Therefore, the system of inequalities is the following:
45x+30y\geq450
\\x+y\leq10
The above system has many solutions, for example :

My friend sets out walking at a speed of $3$ miles per hour. I set out behind her $5$ minutes later at $4$ miles per hour. When
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:  The answer is 0.25 miles.


Step-by-step explanation:  Given that my friend started walking at a speed of 3 miles per hour and I started 5 minutes after him at a speed of 4 miles per hour. We need to find the number of miles my friend travelled when I started walking.

Since I started 5 minutes after than my friend, so we are to find the distance travelled by my friend in 5 minutes.

In 1 hour, i.e., 60 minutes, distance travelled by my friend = 3 miles.

In 1 minute, distance travelled by my friend is

\dfrac{3}{60}=\dfrac{1}{20}~\textup{miles}.

Therefore, distance travelled by my friend in 5 minutes will be

\dfrac{1}{20}\times 5=\dfrac{1}{4}=0.25~\textup{miles}.

Thus, the answer is 0.25 miles.
