The man travelled in different ways: by rail, by taxi, by ___ and by foot. I placed a blank there because there seems to be a missing word in the given problem above. For sample purposes, let's just assume that is travel by bus.

Since all of these travels are equal to 1 whole journey, you can express each travel as a fraction. When you add them up, the answer would be 1. So,

3/8 + 1/4 + 1/8 + x = 1

The variable x here denotes the fraction of his travel by foot. We are only given the exact distance travelled on foot which is 2 km. We have to find the fraction of the travel by foot to determine the length of the total distance travelled. Solving for x,

x = 1 - 3/8 - 1/4 - 1/8
x = 1/4

That means that the travel by foot comprises 1/4 of the whole journey. Thus,

Let total distance be D.

1.4*D = 2 km
D = 8 km

Therefore, the man travelled a total of 8 kilometers.

Choose the polynomial written in standard form.
Semenov [28]

Answer:

x^4 + 4x^3 + 10x

Step-by-step explanation:

A polynomial written in decreasing order of the degree of its monomials ( or single term ) is called its standard form,

In polynomial,

x^2 + 4x^4 + 10x^6,

Degrees are written in increasing order,

⇒ It is not written in standard form,

In polynomial,

x^4 + 4x^3 + 10x,

Degrees are written in decreasing order,

⇒ It is written in standard form,

In polynomial,

x^7 + 4x^3 + 10x^4,

There is no order of degrees,

⇒ It is not written in standard form,

In polynomial,

x^6 + 4x^3 + 10x^7,

There is no order of degrees,

⇒ It is not written in standard form,

a tap can fill a bucket in 2 minutes, another in 3 minutes. If both are turned on how long does it take to fill the bucket?
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

It takes 1 minute 12 seconds to fill the bucket if both taps are turned on.

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. One tap fills the bucket in 2 minutes, thus fills 1/2 of the bucket in one minute.
  2. Other tap fills the bucket in 3 minutes, thus fills 1/3 of the bucket in one minute.
  3. Both together fill 1/2+1/3=5/6 of the bucket in one minute.
  4. If they can fill 5/6 of the bucket in 1 minute, they fill 1/6 of the bucket in 1/5 minute.
  5. They can fill the bucket (6/6) in 1+1/5 minute
  6. This is 1 minute 12 seconds

Movies are on sale for 3/4 the original price. If the original price is $10, what is the sale price?
baherus [9]
\frac{3}{4}\ of\ the\ original\ price=\frac{3}{4}\times\$10=\left(\frac{3}{4}\times\frac{10}{1}\right)\$=\frac{3\times10}{4\times1}\$\\\\=\frac{30}{4}\$=\frac{28+2}{4}\$=\boxed{\boxed{7\frac{2}{4}\$=7\frac{1}{2}\$=\boxed{\$7.50}}}

The diagram shows the universal set U = {parallelograms}. Set A represents parallelograms with four congruent angles .
tino4ka555 [31]
26 is the number of the parallelograms that fall into the category A U B. In this universal set, you must likely to find 26 parallelograms that fall into the category A U B. With 4 congruent sides and four congruent angles in set A and B we can see 26 parallelograms that fall into the category A U B.
