(2 5/14) / (2 5/8 * 1 3/7)....turn them all into improper fractions
(33/14) / (21/8 * 10/7)
(33/14) / (105/28)...when dividing fractions, flip what u r dividing by, then multiply
33/14 * 28/105 = 132/210 reduces to 22/35 <==
Hi
You can choose to points (x,y) which solve the equation, like (0,-3) and (4,0) and then draw a line through the points.
Our matrix C is the encoder. Let X be our secret message and let B be our encoded message. Therefore the relationship between the 3 can be represented as:
CX = B
So we want to solve for X (our secret message). So using matrix algebra:
X = C^-1*B
where C^-1 is the inverse of C.
C^-1 = | 3 -2 |
|4 -3 |
So we take C^-1 and multiply it by matrix B to get X. Matrix B is already given to us. So just multiply those two. I used a calculator to get:
X = | 20 8 5 3 15 12 15 |
| 18 9 19 2 12 21 5 |
And since A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, etc....
We decode our message and it says:
X = | T H E C O L O |
| R I S B L U E |
So the answer is: The color is blue (D)
To solve this problem, let us first assign some variables.
Let us say that:
v1 = velocity of airplane = 180 mph
t1 = time travelled by airplane
v2 = velocity of jet = 330 mph
t2 = time travelled by jet
Since we know that distance is the product of velocity and
time, and that the distance travelled by the two must be equal for the jet to
catch up to the plane, hence:
v1 * t1 = v2 * t2
But we know that:
t1 = t2 + 1
Therefore:
180 (t2 + 1) = 330 t2
180 t2 + 180 = 330 t2
150 t2 = 180
t2 = 1.2 hours
<span>Therefore the jet can catch up to the plane after 1.2
hours it takes off.</span>
