Michael plays 1/5 of a song in 1/15 pf a minute. How many minutes will it take to play whole song

1 answer:

6 0

Well, a whole will be five fifths or 5/5.

now, he only plays 1/5 in 1/15, how many minutes will it take to play the whole 5/5 of the song?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
\stackrel{part}{song}&\stackrel{part}{minutes}\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
\frac{1}{5}&\frac{1}{15}\\\\
\frac{5}{5}&m
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{\frac{1}{5}}{\frac{5}{5}}=\cfrac{\frac{1}{15}}{m}\implies \cfrac{\frac{1}{5}}{\frac{5}{5}}=\cfrac{\frac{1}{15}}{\frac{m}{1}}\implies \cfrac{1}{5}\cdot \cfrac{5}{5}=\cfrac{1}{15}\cdot \cfrac{1}{m}$

$\bf \cfrac{1}{5}=\cfrac{1}{15m}\implies 15m=5\implies m=\cfrac{5}{15}\implies m=\stackrel{\textit{minutes}}{\cfrac{1}{3}}$

If a=4b^2 and b=-1/2e^2, what is the value of a to the nearest tenth?

Maru [420]

To answer, it is assumed that e here is the Euler number which is equal to 2.718. Substitute this value to the e of the second equation to get the value of b.
b = 0.5(2.718^2) = 3.6945
Then, we substitute this value to the first equation to get the value of a.
a = 4(3.6945^2) = 54.498
Thus, the answer is approximately equal to 54.5.

What is the equation of the line????????

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

y=1/2x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equations come in the form of y=mx+c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept. Looking at the graph we know that the y-intercept is (0,2), so that rules out options B and C.

To find the gradient is a little more tricky, but we can follow the formula:

$\frac{rise}{run}$ , where rise is the vertical value and run is the horizontal value
