The length of the shorter piece is 30

<h3>What are algebraic expressions?</h3>

Algebraic expressions are expressions that are made up of constants, terms, factors and variables.

They also contain mathematical operations such as division, addition, multiplication, subtraction, etc

From the information given, we have;

Let the length of one piece be x

Let of the other piece is 5x

5x + x = 180

collect like terms

6x = 180

Make 'x' the subject

x = 180/ 6

x = 30

Thus, the length of the shorter piece is 30

If Jana bikes 15 miles in 50 minutes. How can you find the number of miles she bikes in one hour?

adell [148]

Answer:

Therefore,

Jana bikes 18 miles in one hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Jana bikes,

15 miles ---------------> in 50 minutes

To Find:

How many miles ------------------> in 1 hour = 60 minutes

Solution:

Let 'x' miles Jana Bikes in 1 hour or 60 minutes

As, 1 hour = 60 minutes

The Ratio of Equation will be

$\dfrac{15}{x}=\dfrac{50}{60}$

Cross Multiplying we get

$x=\dfrac{900}{50}=18\ miles$

Therefore,

Jana bikes 18 miles in one hour.

Vicente has a prism- like water tank whose base area is 1.2 square meters. He bought 6 goldfish at the store and the store owner

navik [9.2K]

Answer: 1.25 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of base = 1.2 m²

Number of gold fish = 6

Density of the tank should be = 4 fish/m³

Height of the tank= ?

4 fish = 1 m³

6 fish = 6/4 = 1.5 m³

Volume required for 6 fish is 1.5 m³

V = area of base x height (h)

1.5 = 1.2 x h

h = 1.25 m

Hence, height of the tank is equal to 1.25 m.
