Answer:

Option 1 - x=0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The area of a rectangle is 0.8 square units. The length is 3.2 units and the width is x units.

To find : What is the value of x?

Solution :

The area of the rectangle is given by,

$A=L\times W$

The length of the rectangle is L=3.2 units

The width of the rectangle is W=x units

The area of the rectangle is A=0.8 square units

Substitute the value in the formula,

$0.8=3.2\times x$

$x=\frac{0.8}{3.2}$

$x=0.25$

Therefore, Option 1 is correct.

The value of x is 0.25.

Area= l*b
0.8=3.2*x
0.8/3.2=x
x=0.25 units

An opaque bag contains 5 green marbles 3 blue marbles and 2 red marbles. What is the probability of randomly picking out a marbl

anastassius [24]

Answer= .2 probability

Explanation: Since there is a total of 10 marbles, and 2 are red, you would divide the red marbles (2) out of the total marbles (10) which would get u .2. Since it’s asking for probability, we would keep .2 a decimal.

A person stands 10 meters east of an intersection and watches a car driving towards the intersection from the north at 13 meters

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Therefore the rate change of distance between the car and the person at the instant, the car is 24 m from the intersection is 12 m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A person stand 10 meters east of an intersection and watches a car driving towards the intersection from the north at 13 m/s.

From Pythagorean Theorem,

(The distance between car and person)²= (The distance of the car from intersection)²+ (The distance of the person from intersection)²+

Assume that the distance of the car from the intersection and from the person be x and y at any time t respectively.

∴y²= x²+10²

$\Rightarrow y=\sqrt{x^2+100}$

Differentiating with respect to t

$\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x^2+100}}. 2x\frac{dx}{dt}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2+100}}. \frac{dx}{dt}$

Since the car driving towards the intersection at 13 m/s.

so, $\frac{dx}{dt}=-13$

$\therefore \frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2+100}}.(-13)$

Now

$\therefore \frac{dy}{dt}|_{x=24}=\frac{24}{\sqrt{24^2+100}}.(-13)$

$=\frac{24\times (-13)}{\sqrt{676}}$

$=\frac{24\times (-13)}{26}$

= -12 m/s

Negative sign denotes the distance between the car and the person decrease.

Therefore the rate change of distance between the car and the person at the instant, the car is 24 m from the intersection is 12 m/s.

5/x - 3/4 =<br> Simplify

Verdich [7]

Answer:

$\frac{20-3x}{4x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

-This is an LCM problem.

-To simplify, we introduce a least common multiplier which is equivalent the product of the denominators:

$LCM=x\times 4\\\\=4x$

#We introduce the LCM and adjust the fractions based on it :

$=\frac{5}{x}+\frac{3}{4}\\\\\\=\frac{20}{4x}+\frac{3x}{4x}\\\\\\=\frac{20-3x}{4x}$

Hence, the simplified form of the fraction is: $\frac{20-3x}{4x}$
