Given length of a lap = 5/8 mile.

Number of laps Carin ran = 3 1/2 laps.

3 1/2 can be read as 3 and a half. In improper fractions, it can be written as

(3*2+1)/2 = 7/2 laps.

In order to find the total distance covered in 3 1/2 or 7/2 laps, we need to multiply length of a lap by total number of laps ran.

Therefore, total distance covered = 7/2 × 5/8.

=\frac{7}{2}\times\frac{5}{8}

Multiplying across, we get

= \frac{7\times5}{2\times8}

=\frac{35}{16}

Let us convert 35/16 into mixed fractions.

On dividing 35 by 16, we get 2 quotient and 3 remainder.

So, the mixed fraction would be 2 3/16.

Therefore, she ran 2 3/16 miles in 3 1/2 laps.

So close! But instead of adding the multiplication sign after the number you need to add them before. Good job though! :)

If (-2, y) lles on the graph of y = 3^x, then y =
sweet [91]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

\frac{1}{9}

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

We know that x=-2, so substitute that into the equation. y=3^{-2}

With negative powers, instead of making the result negative, you divide one by it.  Mathematically speaking, x^{-y}=\frac{1}{x^y}.  This makes our equation: y=\frac{1}{3^2}

Finally, simplify the exponent. y=\frac{1}{9}

Brown= 4 b +18 g

Blonde= 25 b+ 10 g

Red= 21 b+ 15 g

Total number= 22+17+4+18+25+10+21+15= 132

Number of girls= 17+18+10+15= 60

Girls are 60/132= 2 × 2 × 3 × 5/ 2 × 2 × 3 × 11= 5/11 of all students
