Answer:
3 deg C
Step-by-step explanation:
Start with -8 deg and add 11 deg.
-8 + 11 = 3
Answer: 3 deg C
Answer:
The length of the third side is between 16 inches and 64 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of a side of a triangle is between the sum and the difference of the lengths of the other two sides.
First, we need both sides in the same units. Let's convert feet to inches.
2 ft * (12 in.)/(ft) = 24 in.
The sides measure 24 inches and 40 inches.
Now we add and subtract the two lengths.
40 in. + 24 in. = 64 in.
40 in. - 24 in. = 16 in.
The length of the third side is between 16 inches and 64 inches.
When ever you have percentages, it should be helpful to bear in mind you can express them as multipliers. In this case, it will be helpful.
So, if we let:
a = test score
b = target score
then, using the information given:
a = 1.1b + 1
a = 1.15b - 3
and we get simultaneous equations.
'1.1' and '1.15' are the multipliers that I got using the percentages. Multiplying a value by 1.1 is the equivalent of increasing the value by 10%. If you multiplied it by 0.1 (which is the same as dividing by 10), you would get just 10% of the value.
Back to the simultaneous equations, we can just solve them now:
There are a number of ways to do this but I will use my preferred method:
Rearrange to express in terms of b:
a = 1.1b + 1
then b = (a - 1)/1.1
a = 1.15b - 3
then b = (a + 3)/1.15
Since they are both equal to b, they are of the same value so we can set them equal to each other and solve for a:
(a - 1)/1.1 = (a + 3)/1.15
1.15 * (a - 1) = 1.1 * (a + 3)
1.15a - 1.15 = 1.1a + 3.3
0.05a = 4.45
a = 89
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the speed of each one we proceed as follows:
speed=distance/time
a] Noah's speed:
distance=2.5 miles
time=3/5 hours
speed=(2 1/2)/(3/5)
=(5/2)/(3/5)
=5/2×5/3
=25/6
=4 1/6 mi/hr
Emily's speed
distance=3 3/4 miles
time=5/6 hour
thus
speed=(3 3/4)/(5/6)
=15/4)/(5/6)
=15/4×6/5
=4 1/2 mi/hr
Anna's speed:
distance=3 1/3 miles
time=3/5
speed=(3 1/3)/(3/5
=(10/3)/(3/5)
=10/3×5/3
=5 5/9 mi/hr
Anna was the fastest
