Answer:

5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

"of" means times so so so often. It is not a hard math rule/definition. But more like a soft English-Math translation.

So, "2/5 of what"

means 2/5x (but make sure the 2/5 is a fraction beside the x, NOT the x on the bottom with the 5)

"is" means equals.

2/5x = 2/3

Multiply both sides by 5/2.

5/2 • 2/5x = 2/3•5/2

x = 2/3 • 5/2

x = 5/3

You get 5/3 either by "cancelling" the 2's OR by

fraction multiplication where you times top×top and bottom×bottom and simplify.

x = 10/6

x = 5/3

2/5 of 5/3 is 2/3.

The "what" in the question is 5/3.

The answer is 4/15

2/5 * 2/3 = 2 · 2/5 · 3 = 4/15

Multiply the numerators and denominators together. Keep the result fraction to the smallest possible denominator GCD(4, 15) = 1. It cannot further simplify the fraction result by canceling in the following intermediate step.

In other words, two fifths times two thirds equals four fifteenths.

Answer:

x = 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming that you want to find the values of x and that WXYZ is a parallelogram.

In a parallelogram opposite sides are equal, therefore:

11x + 1 = 19x - 31

1 + 31 = 19x - 11x

32 = 8x

x = 32/8 = 4.

The formula equals 16t squared is used to approximate the distance s, in feet, that an object falls freely from rest in t seco

Brut [27]

The equation is actually $h(t)=-16t^2+1437$ . Free fall is always -16t^2 as the position function. We are looking for how long it takes the object to hit the ground. In other words, the height of an object is 0 when it is laying on the ground, so how long (t) did it take to get there? We will then set that position equal to 0 and solve for t. $0=-16t^2+1437$ . If we subtract 1437 from both sides and divide by -16, we have $t^2=89.8125$ . Taking the square root of both sides gives us, rounded to the nearest tenth, t = 9.5 or t=-9.5. The 2 things in math that will never EVER be negative are time and distance/length, so -9.5 is out. That means that it took just about 9.5 seconds for the object to fall to the ground from a height of 1437 feet when pulled on by the force of gravity.
