A group of workers can plant 5/8 acres in 4/5 days. What is the unit rate in acres per day?

1 answer:

3 0

In order to find the unit rate of acres per day, or in other words, how many acres can they plant in one day, you must divide 5/8, the number of acres planted, by 4/5, the number of days it took to plant. When you divide the two fractions, first set up an expression:
5/8<span>÷4/5

Then, to make things simpler, turn the division expression into a multiplication statement so that you have 5/8*5/4. Then multiply straight across and you get your answer as 25/32. This means that the workers can plant 25/32 acres per day.</span>

If 2a+ 2/a =4, what is the value of 2a^2− 2/a^2 ?

aliina [53]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2a+ 2/a =4

Multiply each side by a to clear the fraction

a( 2a+ 2/a) =4*a

Distribute

2a^2 +2 = 4a

Subtract 4a from each side

2a^2 -4a +2 = 4a-4a

2a^2 -4a +2 =0

Divide by 2

2/2 a^2 -4a/2 +2/2 =0/2

a^2 -2a +1=0

Factor

(a-1) (a-1) =0

Using the zero product property

a=1

2a^2 -2/a^2

2(1)^2 -2/1^2

2-2

A 5 hour and 25-minute flight begins at 9:40 at what time will it end

motikmotik

Your answer is 3:05.

You must add on to 9:40. So what I did was 9 + 5 = 14.
14 - 12 = 2.
So far it's 2:40.
25 minutes + 40. = 65.
Well there are 60 minutes in an hours. So 65 would be equal to 1H and 5min.
Now take that 1 hour. Add it to 2.
3 hours. And take your 5 minutes.
There! 3:05
