<span>75 pages.
OK. Lots of copying errors here. I'll be using 275 page book, reading 10 pages per 15 minutes, skimming 15 pages per 10 minutes, 5 hours and 50 minutes to complete the book.
To make things easier, first convert the time to just minutes. So
5 * 60 + 50 = 300 + 50 = 350 minutes.
Now let's use the variable X for the number of minutes spent skimming and (350-X) for the number of minutes spent reading.
X * 15/10 + (350 - X)*10/15 = 275
Solve for X.
X * 15/10 + (350 - X)*10/15 = 275
X * 15/10 + 350*10/15 - X*10/15 = 275
X * 15/10 - X*10/15 = 275 - 350*10/15
X(15/10 - 10/15) = 275 - 3500/15
X(45/30 - 20/30) = 825/3 - 700/3
X(25/30) = 125/3
X = 125/3 * 30/25 = 125/1 * 10/25 = 5/1 * 10/1 = 50/1 = 50
So Jayden spent 50 minutes skimming. And at the rate of 15 pages every 10 minutes, he skimmed 50*15/10 = 750/10 = 75 pages.</span>
If the width of the cardboard = x cm then its length is given by x + 8 cm.
Then the length of the box will be x + 8 - 2(2) = x + 4
and the width = x - 2(2) = x - 4 cm The height is 2 cm
Volume = h*w*l = 2(x - 4)(x + 4) = 256
2(x^2 - 16) = 256
x^2 - 16 = 128
x^2 = 144
x = 12 cm
Dimensions of the box are:-
length = 12 + 4 = 16cm
width = 12 - 4 = 8 cm
height = 2 cm
To get the answer we can use proportion.
30----------100%
12-----------x
Cross multiply now
30x=12*100%
30x=1200% /:30 (divide both sides by 30)
x=40% - it's the percentage of cars which finished the race.
100%-40%=60% - it's the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
slope interception formula is
y-y1=m(x-x1)
where m is m=y-y1/x-x1 in this case m=-2 because the line we are trying to find is parallel to the given one y=-2x-6 where slope k=-2
so the final equation would be
y-1=-2(x-(-4))
y-1=-2x-2*4
y=-2x-8+1=-2x-7
