Answer:

$\frac{3}{20}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the cover page

We are given that a newspaper 's cover page is $\frac{3}{8}$ text and photograph fill the rest.

We have to find that how much part of cover's page is the article about endangered species

Text = $\frac{3}{8}x$

Remaining part = $x-\frac{3}{8} x$

Remaining part = $\frac{8x-3x}{8}=\frac{5}{8} x$

Therefore, a newspaper;s cover page fill with Photograph = $\frac{5}{8}$

If the article about endangered species= $\frac{2}{5}$ of text

Therefore, the article about endangered species= $\frac{2}{5}\times\frac{3x}{8}=\frac{3}{20}x$

Hence, the article about endangered species is $\frac{3}{20}$ of the cover page.

The article about endangered species = $=\displaystyle \frac{3}{20}$ of the cover page

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Fraction numbers are known as numerator and denominator

On a number line, fractions are expressed in points that lie between two integers

The general form of fractions is

$\large{\boxed{\bold{\frac{a}{b}} }$

a = numerator

b = denominator

Mixed fractions consist of whole number and proper fractions

There are several steps in adding fraction operations

1. the denominators must be the same, if not then

a. Multiply top and bottom of each fraction by the denominator of the other. or b. we can use Least Common Denominator which is the smallest of all the common denominators.

2: Add the numerators and put over the denominator

3: Simplify the fraction

There are several steps to multiply fractions

1. Multiply the numerators
2. Multiply the denominators
3. Simplify the fraction

A newspaper’s cover page is 3/8 text,and 2/5 of the text is an article about endangered species

we translate this sentence into equation :

$\displaystyle \frac{2}{5}\times\frac{3}{8}$

We can use several steps to multiply fractions : multiply both numerators and denominators and then simplify the fraction

$\displaystyle \frac{2}{5}\times\frac{3}{8}=\frac{6}{40}$

$=\:\large{\boxed{\bold{\frac{3}{20}}}$

We can solve this problem by seeing at which part both of the parts of the graphs of the function are discontinued. Both of the parts of the graph of the function are discontinued at -2, so we will have to find a function that has a value that is undefined for x = -2. We can do this using the denominator of the fraction that's in each of the functions. The function where x = -2 will cause it to be undefined is the third one, so the answer to this question is C., f (x) = $\frac{1}{x+2}$ +5.

A small motorboat travels 12mph in still water. It takes 2 hours longer to travel 46 miles going upstream than it does going dow

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Using the relation between velocity, distance and time, it is found that the rate of the current is of 3.33 mph.

<h3>What is the relation between velocity, distance and time?</h3>

Velocity is distance divided by time, hence:

v = d/t

A small motorboat travels 12mph in still water. With the current, upstream, 46 miles are traveled in t hours, hence:

12 + r = 46/t

r = 46/t - 12

Downstream, the time is of t + 2 hours, hence:

12 - r = 46/(t + 2)

r = 12 - 46/(t + 2)

Hence, equaling the values for r:

46/t - 12 = 12 - 46/(t + 2)

46/t + 46/(t + 2) = 24

$\frac{46t + 92 + 46t}{t(t + 2)} = 24$

92t + 92 = 24t² + 48t

24t² - 44t - 92 = 0

Using a quadratic equation calculator, the solution is t = 3. Hence the rate is found as follows:

r = 46/t - 12 = 46/3 - 12 = 3.33 mph.

Directions:Solve this equation

avanturin [10]

Answer:

-3.21538461538

Step-by-step explanation:

$\mathrm{Equation\;Given:}\; 5+5x=\frac{12x-\frac{12}{5}\cdot \:7}{5}$

$\mathrm{Multiply\;both\;sides\;by\;5}:$ $5\cdot \:5+5x\cdot \:5=\frac{12x-\frac{12}{5}\cdot \:7}{5}\cdot \:5$

$\mathrm{Now\;we\;have\;}:$ $25+25x=12x-\frac{84}{5}$

$\mathrm{Subtract\;by\;sides\;by\;25}:$ $25+25x-25=12x-\frac{84}{5}-25$

$\mathrm{Thus\;we\;have}:$ $25x=12x-\frac{209}{5}$

$\mathrm{Subtracting\;12x\;from\;both\;sides}:$ $25x-12x=12x-\frac{209}{5}-12x$

$\mathrm{So\;then\;we\;have:}$ $13x=-\frac{209}{5}$

$\mathrm{Now\;divide\;both\;sides\;by\;13}:$ $\frac{13x}{13}=\frac{-\frac{209}{5}}{13}$

$\mathrm{Hence\;we\;have}:\;\;x=-\frac{209}{65}$

$\mathrm{Decimal\;form}:-3.21538461538$
