Let us use the formula with the point (4,5) and (0,2)

$\begin{gathered} d=\sqrt[]{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}=\sqrt[]{(4-0)^2+(5-2)^2} \\ =\sqrt[]{16+9}=\sqrt[]{25}=5 \end{gathered}$

if the survey, 9/25 of students ride the bus to school and 19/50 walk to school. what fraction of students ride the bus or walk

Elena-2011 [213]

1. $\dfrac{9}{25}$ of students ride the bus to school. Note that

$\dfrac{9}{25}=\dfrac{9\cdot 2}{25\cdot 2}=\dfrac{18}{50}.$

2. $\dfrac{19}{50}$ of students walk to school.

3. The fraction of students that ride the bus or walk to school is

$\dfrac{18}{50}+\dfrac{19}{50}=\dfrac{18+19}{50}=\dfrac{37}{50}.$

Answer: the fraction of students that ride the bus or walk to school is $\dfrac{37}{50}.$

Richie spent $120 on 12 rose bushes and 2 gardenias, while Jim spent it $150 on 10 rose bushes and 10 gardenias. What is the cos

Basile [38]

With the given information, we can create several equations:

120 = 12x + 2y
150 = 10x + 10y

With x being the number of rose bushes, and y being the number of gardenias.

To find the values of the variables, we can use two methods: Substitution or Elimination

For this case, let us use elimination. To begin, let's be clear that we are going to be adding these equations together. Therefore, in order to get the value of one variable, we must cancel one of them out - it could be x or y, it doesn't matter which one you decide to cancel out. Let's cancel the x out:

We first need to multiply the equations by numbers that would cause the x's to cancel out - and this can be done as follows:

-10(120 = 12x + 2y)
12(150 = 10x + 10y) => Notice how one of these is negative

Multiply out:

-1200 = -120x - 20y
+ 1800 = 120x + 120y => Add these two equations together
---------------------------------
600 = 100y

Now we can solve for y:

y = 6

With this value of y known, we can then pick an equation from the beginning of the question, and plug y in to solve for x:

120 = 12x + 2y => 120 = 12x + 2(6)

Now we can solve for x:

120 = 12x + 12 => 108 = 12x

x = 9

So now we know that x = 9, and y = 6.

With rose bushes being x, we now know that the cost of 1 rose bush is $9.
With gardenias being y, we now know that the cost of 1 gardenia is $6.

How many 1/8 teaspoons are equal to 4 3/4 teaspoons?

Vinvika [58]

1. Convert fraction into same decimal.

To find this answer, we want to first convert the fraction so that the denominators are the same:

3/4 = ?/8

Divide the original denominator by the needed-to-be denominator.

8 / 4 = 2

Do reversal calculations

4 x 2 = 8

So, now that we know to multiply the original denominator by 2 to get the new denominator, multiple the numeriator by the same.

3 6

_ x 2 = _

4 8

So now, the new equation is:

How many 1/8 teaspoons are equal to 4 6/8 teaspoons.

(The reason why you must convert is because then you can simply say that the fraction is 6 1/8's, which means you just have to worry about the whole numbers.

2. Convert the whole numbers into a fraction to make it easier.

In order to convert whole numbers into fractions, first find the denominator your using. Which in this case, it is 8.

?/8

Now remember, for it to be a whole number, the numeriator and denominator MUST be the same.

8/8 = 1

Now remember, there are four 1's. Multiply the numeriator by 4, but keep the denominator the same or else the equation is ruined.

32/8 = 4

3. Add all your information together.

DO NOT forget to add the information you collected during the equation, or else you will get a wrong answer. Add the equation's final answer to the whole numbers final answer.

32 / 8 + 6 / 8 = ?

32 / 8 + 6 / 8 = 38 / 8

Well now, remember something. It is asking us, how many 1/8's were in the equation 4 3/4. We have transformed 4 3/4 into a whole equation, 38/8.

Now, all you need to do is look at the numeriator.

What number do you see?

You see 38.

The denominator is the correct denominator that you need. So, the number of the numeriator is the answer to the equation.

So, how many 1/8 are in 38/8?

38!
