When you're multiplying any number times a fraction with a numerator of one, that number becomes the numerator. For example:

a x 1/b = a/b

So, in your case:

12 x 1/5 = 12/5

Yes that is correct 
or in a mixed number it would be 61/5.

Answer: (C) divide by 1

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

when dividing by x - 1, set the expression equal to zero to find the zero.  That is actually what you are dividing by:

x - 1 = 0   ⇒   x = 1

so the number outside of the synthetic division symbol is 1.

Sarah competes in a long jump competition Her first jump is 4.25m Her best jump is 12% more than this However, her best jump is
ad-work [718]

>First jump = 4.25 m

 

>Best jump = 1.12 * First jump

Best jump = 1.12 * (4.25 m)

Best jump = 4.76 m

 

>Best jump = 0.85 * Winning jump

Hence,

Winning jump = Best jump / 0.85

Winning jump = 4.76 m / 0.85

<span>Winning jump = 5.6 m</span>

Hector spent $41.75 for 2 DVDs that cost the same amount. The sales tax on his purchase was $3.15. Hector also used a coupon for
kykrilka [37]

Given:

Amount spent on 2 DVDs = $41.75

Sales tax = $3.15

Coupon = $1.00 off

To find:

The cost of each DVD.

Solution:

Let x be the cost of each DVD.

Then, cost of two DVDs = 2x

Amount spent of 2 DVDs = Cost of 2 DVDs + Sales tax - Coupon discount

41.75=2x+3.15-1.00

41.75=2x+2.15

41.75-2.15=2x

39.6=2x

Divide both sides by 2.

\dfrac{39.6}{2}=x

19.8=x

Therefore, the cost of each DVD is $19.8.

6x+18y=18 find y and z
Masja [62]

6x + 18y = 18. Let us take x = 0

6(0) + 18y = 18

0 + 18y = 18

18y = 18

y = 18/18

y = 1

(0, 1) [x = 0, y = 1]

6x + 18y = 18. Let us take y = 0

6x + 18(0) = 18

6x + 0 = 18

6x = 18

x = 18/6

x = 3

(3, 0) [x = 3, y =0]

Infinite solutions can be found for x and y
