Answer:

When rates are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 2 feet per second or 5 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Ex: If you have a multiple-unit rate such as 120 students for every 3 buses, and want to find the single-unit rate, write a ratio equal to the multiple-unit rate with 1 as the second term.

120/3 = 40/1

The unit rate of 120 students for every 3 buses is 40 students per bus. You could also find the unit rate by dividing the first term of the ratio by the second term.

Fill the value of the expression 24 3/5 +4 ×(8 1/5-2)

Julli [10]

First off, we'll convert the mixed fractions to "improper",

$\bf \stackrel{mixed}{24\frac{3}{5}}\implies \cfrac{24\cdot 5+3}{5}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{123}{5}}
\\\\\\
\stackrel{mixed}{8\frac{1}{5}}\implies \cfrac{8\cdot 5+1}{5}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{41}{5}}$

$\bf 24\frac{3}{5}\times \left( 8\frac{1}{5}-2 \right)\implies \cfrac{123}{5}\left( \cfrac{41}{5}-2 \right)\impliedby \mathbb{PEMDAS}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{123}{5}\left( \cfrac{41-10}{5} \right)\implies \cfrac{123}{5}\left( \cfrac{31}{5} \right)
\\\\\\
\cfrac{123\cdot 31}{5\cdot 5}\implies \cfrac{3813}{25}\implies 152\frac{13}{25}$

Find the measure of each interior angle

diamong [38]

$\bf \textit{sum of all interior angles of a polygon}\\\\
180(n-2)\quad 
\begin{cases}
n=\textit{number of sides}\\
---------\\
n=10
\end{cases}\implies 180(10-2)\implies 1440\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\begin{array}{lclll}
&x + 5\\&x + 10\\&x + 20\\&x + 30\\&x + 35\\&x + 40\\&x + 60\\&x + 70\\&x + 80\\+&x + 90\\
&----\\
&10x+440
\end{array}\implies 
\begin{array}{llll}
10x+440=1440
\\\\\\
10x=1000
\\\\\\
x=\cfrac{1000}{10}\implies x=100
\end{array}$

so.. to get every angle, simply plug in 10 for "x" for each.

You would do pi x r squared. r=12, and 12 squared is 144. pi (3.14) times 144 equals 452.16!
