By taking a difference between mixed numbers, we can conclude that the distance left is 5/8 of a mile.

<h3>How much farther does he have to hike?</h3>

We know that the total length of the trail is 2½ miles, and Jorge hikes 1⁷/₈ miles before resting.

So the distance that he has left is equal to the difference between 2½ miles and 1⁷/₈ miles.

Remember that the mixed numbers can be rewritten as:

2½ = 2 + 1/2

1⁷/₈ = 1 + 7/8

So we need to find the difference:

(2 + 1/2) - (1 + 7/8) = ( 2 - 1) + (1/2 - 7/8)

= 1 + (4/8 - 7/8) = 1 - 3/8

Now we can simplify this so we get a single fraction:

1 - 3/8 = 8/8 - 3/8 = 5/8

From this, we can conclude that the distance left is 5/8 of a mile.

What is the percent from 39 to 17

AlladinOne [14]

Answer: 56.4102564% decrease

Explanation: First determine whether the number is increasing or decreasing. Since it changes from 39 to 17, it's going down so it's decreasing.

Now to find the percent decrease,

we divide the amount of change by the original number.

The amount of change is the difference between the two numbers

which in this case is 39 - 17 and the original number is 39.

$So$ $we$ $have$ $\frac{39 - 17}{39}$

39 - 17 is 22 so we're left with $\frac{22}{39}$ which gives us 56.4102564

Remember however that our problem is asking for a <em>percent</em>, not a decimal. So we need to write 56.4102564 as a percent by moving the decimal point 2 places to the right to get 56.4102564.

So when a number changes from 39 to 17, it has decreased by 56.4102564%.

Ishaan is 3 times as old as Christopher and is also 14 years older than Christopher/10088809/d7a108ae?utm_source=registration

Irina-Kira [14]

X = Ishaan
y = Christopher

3y = x
x = y + 14 Put the first equation into the second.
3y = y + 14
2y = 14
y = 7

Christopher is 7
Ishaan is 21

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (7,-6) and (0,2). Put

Alex

Answer:

$y+6=\frac{-8}{7} (x-7)$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of the equation use $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ .

So, $\frac{-6-2}{7-0}$ = $\frac{-8}{7}$ . Now we can use our slope and any of the two points to write in point-slope form, which is $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$ . Using the point (7,-6), the formula will give $y+6=\frac{-8}{7} (x-7)$ .

To check, you can plug in this equation and the points into a calculator to graph. The line passes through both points.
