A snail can move 1/30 miles in 1/3 hour. How fast does a snail move in miles /hours

bekas [8.4K]

Answer: 1/10 miles/hour

To find how fast a snail moves in miles per hour, we can find the unit rate using a proportion.

The unit rate is the amount per one unit. In this problem, the unit is for one hour. One way to find the unit rate is by using a proportion.

<h2>Proportions</h2>

Proportions look like two fractions set equal to each other with a missing variable to solve.

<h3>State our variables</h3>

let <em>x</em> be the number of miles per hour

<h3>Write a proportion</h3>

The first fraction has a number for the numerator (top) and denominator (bottom), because the question gives us the information. The second fraction has a missing value, <em>x</em>, that we are solving for. We can write <em>x</em> in the numerator.

$\displaystyle{\frac{\frac{1}{30}\ mi}{\frac{1}{3}\ hr} = \frac{x\ mi}{1\ hr}}$

<h2>Solve</h2>

We can solve by finding the scale factor. The scale factor is the number we can multiply the numerator by to find <em>x</em>.

<h3>Find the scale factor</h3>

Start with the proportion.

$\displaystyle{\frac{\frac{1}{30}\ mi}{\frac{1}{3}\ hr} = \frac{x\ mi}{1\ hr}}$

To find the scale factor,

Take the denominator from the fraction with a variable: $1\ hr$
Take the denominator from the fraction that has no variable: $\frac{1}{3}\ hr$
Divide step 1 by step 2 and solve: $1\ hr\ \div\ \frac{1}{3}\ hr = 3$

Our scale factor is <u>3</u>.

<h3>Solve for x</h3>

We can find <em>x</em> by multiplying the numerator in the first fraction by the scale factor. This is because <em>x</em> is also in the numerator.

$\displaystyle{\frac{\frac{1}{30}\ mi}{\frac{1}{3}\ hr} = \frac{(\frac{1}{30}\ mi)*3}{1\ hr}}$

$\displaystyle{\frac{\frac{1}{30}\ mi}{\frac{1}{3}\ hr} = \frac{\frac{3}{30}\ mi}{1\ hr}}$

Simplify 3/30 by dividing the fraction by 3.

$\displaystyle{\frac{\frac{1}{30}\ mi}{\frac{1}{3}\ hr} = \frac{\frac{1}{10}\ mi}{1\ hr}}$

x = 1/10

∴ a snail moves 1/10 miles per hour.

Lilly has read seven-eighths of her book and is on page 147. How many pages does lilly have left to read?

lara [203]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Lilly has read 7/8 of her book (aka 147 pages), divide 147 by 7 and you get 21.

This means 1/8=21

Since she has read 7/8 of the book, and the full book is 8/8, 8/8-7/8= 1/8

Meaning she has 1/8 of the book left to read.

As said before, 1/8 =21

Thus, she has 21 pages left to read.

I want to know the simple way to add fractions like I have a problem with getting the answer to 1/6+1/8=

Jobisdone [24]

You find the lowest common denominator of both fractions, which in this case is 24.
1/6 is equivalent to 4/24 and 1/8 is equivalent to 3/24.
4/24 + 3/24 = 7/24
