Speed is distance divided by time.

speed = distance/time

Now we solve the above equation for time.

speed * time = distance

time = distance/speed

time = (8.715 km)/(8.3 km/h) = 1.05 h

Answer: It takes 1.05 hours, or 1 hour and 3 minutes

Let's look at an equation. X will be hours while Y will be distance.
8.3x=y
We're doing speed×time=distance

For this case, we need to solve for x. So, our equation will look like:
8.3x=8.715
So get x alone, we need to divide both sides by 8.3. So the equation to find how long it took is:
8.715÷8.3=x
We are doing distance÷speed=time. Let's solve.
8.715÷8.3=1.05

So, it took 1.05 hours.

Can someone show me the answer and maybe the work

Answer:

Solving the expression \frac{y^2z^{\frac{1}{4}} }{(z^{\frac{1}{2}}.xy^{\frac{3}{2}})^3} we get $\mathbf{\frac{1}{y^{\frac{5}{2} }x^3z^{\frac{5}{4} }}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the expression:

$\frac{y^2z^{\frac{1}{4}} }{(z^{\frac{1}{2}}.xy^{\frac{3}{2}})^3}$

We know the exponent rule: $(a^n)^m = a^{nm}$

$\frac{y^2z^{\frac{1}{4}} }{(z^{\frac{1}{2}}.xy^{\frac{3}{2}})^3}\\\\=\frac{y^2z^{\frac{1}{4}} }{z^{\frac{3}{2}}.x^3y^{\frac{9}{2} }}$

Now, another exponent rule says that: $\frac{a^m}{a^n}=a^{m-n}$

$=\frac{y^{2-\frac{9}{2}} z^{\frac{1}{4}-\frac{3}{2} } }{x^3}\\=\frac{y^{\frac{4-9}{2}} z^{\frac{1-3*2}{4} } }{x^3}\\=\frac{y^{\frac{-5}{2}}z^{\frac{-5}{4} } }{x^3}$

We also know that: $a^{-m}=\frac{1}{a^m}$

= $\frac{1}{y^{\frac{5}{2} }x^3z^{\frac{5}{4} }}$

So, solving the expression \frac{y^2z^{\frac{1}{4}} }{(z^{\frac{1}{2}}.xy^{\frac{3}{2}})^3} we get $\mathbf{\frac{1}{y^{\frac{5}{2} }x^3z^{\frac{5}{4} }}}$

How do you convert this mixed fraction 8 21/40 into a decimal

klemol [59]

$8\frac{21}{40}=8\frac{21\cdot5}{40\cdot5}=8\frac{105}{200}=8\frac{105\cdot5}{200\cdot5}=8\frac{525}{1000}=\boxed{8.525}$
