Question:
You are in a bike race. When you get to the first checkpoint, you are 2/5 of the distance to the second checkpoint. When you get to the second check point, you are 1/4 of the distance to the finish. If the entire race is 40 miles, what is the distance between the start and the first check point?
Answer: 4 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Let distance between start to first checkpoint = x
First checkpoint to second checkpoint = 2/5 of x
Distance of start to checkpoint 1 = ( 2/5 of start to checkpoint 2)
Distance of start to checkpoint 2 = (1/4 of start to finish)
If start to checkpoint 2 = 1/4 of start to finish
Then,
Distance of start to checkpoint 1 = ( 2/5 * 1/4 of start to finish)
Distance of start to checkpoint 1 = 2/20 of start to finish = 1/10 of start to finish
Entire race = 40 miles = distance from start to finish
1/ 10 of 40
= ( 1/10) × 40
= 4 miles
40 ÷10 = 4

Answer: A
This is simple. Absolute value inequalities can NOT have a negative. For D, the absolute value is not completely simplified. The negative sign will be removed in the process of solving it.
Answer:
See picture attached below.
Step-by-step explanation:
To graph the system, graph each line separately.
y = 3x + 3 ha slope 3 and y-intercept 3.
Start at 3 on the y-axis and mark a point. Then from this point move up 3 units and to the right 1 unit. Mark a point and connect.
y=-x - 3 has slope -1 and y-intercept -3.
Start at -3 on the y-axis and mark a point. Then from this point move down 1 unit and to the right 1 unit. Mark a point and connect.
This graph is represented in the picture attached.
Answer:
The fraction of tiles that will be the color of "sand" is 23/60
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The sum of the fractions of the tiles must be equal to 1
Let
x ----> the fraction of tiles that will be the color of "sand"
we have that

solve for x
Find the Least Common Multiple of denominators

Multiply both sides by 60

simplify


therefore
The fraction of tiles that will be the color of "sand" is 23/60
