She simplified it wrong because you're only supposed to simplify it with the same numbers. For example: simplify 2/4. You divide it by 2/2. You do the same and it will be correct.

Answer:

<em>Explanation shown below</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

For 6:8 to be equal to another fraction, Tina needed to MULTIPLY both top and bottom by the same number, NOT RAISE TO A POWER.

<em><u>Multiplying by any number (both numerator & denominator) would make the other ratio equivalent.</u></em>

<em><u>Taking </u></em><em><u>"Square"</u></em><em><u> or </u></em><em><u>"raising to same power" </u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>WILL NOT</u></em><em><u> make the new ratio equivalent.</u></em>

Tina "raised 6 to 2nd power to get 36" and "raised 8 to 2nd power to get 64". <em>According to the rules, the new ratio won't be equal</em>.

Instead of raising to 2nd power, she could multiply by 2 (both numerator and denominator) to get 12:16. This ratio would have been equal to 6:8.

What is the quotient? startfraction n 3 over 2 n minus 6 endfraction divided by startfraction n 3 over 3 n minus 9 endfraction
bazaltina [42]

The quotient of the fraction n³ / (2n - 6) ÷ n³ / (3n - 9) is 2/3

<h3 /><h3>How to solve fraction</h3><h3 />

n³ / (2n - 6) ÷ n³ / (3n - 9)

  • multiply by the reciprocal of n³ / (3n - 9)

= n³ / (2n - 6) × 1 / n³ / (3n - 9)

= 2n - 6 / 3n - 9

= 2(n - 3) / 3(n - 3)

= 2/3

Therefore, quotient of the fraction n³ / (2n - 6) ÷ n³ / (3n - 9) is 2/3

Ji-Hun and Kana are running a marathon. Due to the volume of people running, the starts occur in waves. Kana starts at 9:35 a.m.
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

23.52 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us find the number of miles that they would have run.

Kana starts at 9:35 a.m. and runs at an average rate of 7 mph.

Let the time she has spent so far be t.

Speed is given as:

s = d / t

where d = distance and t = time

=> d = s * t

Therefore, for Kana:

d = 7 * t = 7t _____________(1)

Ji-Hun starts at 10:00 am (25 minutes after Hannah) and runs at an average rate of 8 mph.

25 minutes = 25/60 hour = 0.42 hour

So, his time (compared to Kana's) is t - 0.42.

therefore, for Ji-Hun:

d = 8 * (t - 0.42)

=> d = 8t - 3.36 ____________(2)

Equating (1) and (2):

7t = 8t - 3.36

=> 8t - 7t = 3.36

t = 3.36 hours

Therefore, let us find d:

d = 7 * 3.36 = 23.52 miles

So, Ji-Hun will catch up to Kana after 23.52 miles.
