Answer:

6.36 years (the .36 repeats), so rounded is 6.4.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, I'm going to convert all measurements to meters.

Since 1000 mm = 1 m, divide 44 by 1000.

44/1000 = 0.044 m

Since 100 cm = 1 m, divide 72 by 100.

72/100 = 0.72 m

Next, I'm going to setup an equation using y = mx + b.

b is the beginning amount which is 0.72.

m in the equation represents the rate which is 0.044.

y represents the total which is 1.

Plugin the numbers and solve for x.

1 = 0.044x + 0.72

1 - 0.72 = 0.044x + 0.72 - 0.72

0.28 = 0.044x

0.28/0.044 = 0.044x/0.044

6.36 = x

Combine like terms.<br><br> - 2/3p + 1/5 - 1 + 5/6p
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

1/6 p -4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

- 2/3p + 1/5 - 1 + 5/6p

When I combine like terms, I put them next to each other.

- 2/3p + 5/6p+ 1/5 - 1

We need to get a common denominator of 6 for the p terms

-2/3 *2/2 p + 5/6 p

-4/6p + 5/6 p

1/6 p


We need to get a common denominator of 5 for the contant terms

1/5 - 1*5/5

1/5-5/5

-4/5


Substituting these in

2/3p + 5/6p+ 1/5 - 1

1/6 p -4/5
