The answer is 11 \frac{5}{6} inches

Step 1. Subtract length of the door from the width of the door:
27 \frac{1}{2} - 9 \frac{3}{4} =  \frac{55}{2} - \frac{39}{4} =\frac{110}{4} - \frac{39}{4}= \frac{71}{4}

Step 2. You want the same space to be on each side of the bar. So, divide the difference from step 1 by 2:
\frac{71}{4} : 2 = \frac{71}{4} :  \frac{2}{1} =\frac{71}{4} * \frac{1}{2}= \frac{71}{6} =  \frac{66+5}{6}= \frac{66}{6}+ \frac{5}{6}=11 \frac{5}{6}

Answer:

8\frac{7}{8}    

Step-by-step explanation:

It has been given that you want to place 9\frac{3}{4} inch towel bar in the center of a door that is 27\frac{1}{2} wide.

First of all, we will find the total space left on both sides of towel bar by subtracting 9\frac{3}{4} from 27\frac{1}{2}.    

27\frac{1}{2}-9\frac{3}{4}  

\frac{27*2+1}{2}-\frac{9*4+3}{4}    

\frac{54+1}{2}-\frac{36+3}{4}

\frac{55}{2}-\frac{39}{4}

Let us have a common denominator.

\frac{55*2}{2*2}-\frac{39}{4}

\frac{110}{4}-\frac{39}{4}

\frac{110-39}{4}

\frac{71}{4}

Now, we will divide \frac{71}{4} by 2 to find the space left on each side of the towel bar.

\frac{71}{4}\div 2

\frac{71}{4}\div \frac{2}{1}

By flipping the second fraction and multiplying by 1st fraction we will get,

\frac{71}{4}\times \frac{1}{2}

\frac{71}{8}

8\frac{7}{8}

Therefore, 8\frac{7}{8} inch of space will be on each side of the towel bar.

Supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees. Using this, we can set up an equation.

Angle 1 + Angle 2=180
124+(2x+4)=180
2x+128=180
2x=52
x=26

The value of x is 26

Cheyenne ran a 6.36-kilometer race in 53 minutes. What was her speed in kilometers per hour?
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

7.23km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed = distance/time

Given

distance = 6.36km and

Time = 53minutes

Convert 53minutes to hour.

60 minutes = 1 hour

53 minutes = x hour

Cross multiply

X hour x 60 = 53

Xhour = 53/60

X = 0.88 hour

Therefore

Speed = 6.36km /0.88hr

= 7.23km/h
