Answer:

1:21

Step-by-step explanation:

Easiest trick way to do this is do 26/546 on your calculator (if you got a scientific one) this would simplify this to its lowest fraction which can be converted into a ratio in this case the ratio of teachers to students is 1:21

What is the solution to the system of equations below? Y=-4/5x-6 & y=-30

Ainat [17]

So when you are trying to find the solution to the system of equations make sure that you have it where y= -4/5x-6 and y= -30 are written like this:

-30=-4/5x-6

And then solve for x:

Add 6 on both sides.

-24=-4/5x

Then multiply by the reciprocal of -4/5.

-5/4*-24=-5/4*-4/5x

x=30

But then you are gonna want to plug 30 in for x in y=-4/5x-6 to make sure that it is the same as y=-30.

Two canoes travel down a river, starting at 9:00 a.M. One canoe travels twice as fast as the other. After 4.5 hours, the canoes

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

$v_1=3.33 \ miles/hour\\v_2=6.66 \ miles/hour$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Constant Speed Motion </u>

When the object travels the same distances in the same period of time, the speed is constant and is can be calculated as

$\displaystyle v=\frac{x}{t}$

where x is the distance and t is the time

There are two canoes traveling at speeds v1 and v2. One of them has twice the speed as the other. Let's say

$v_2=2v_1$

When t hours have passed, the canoes have traveled x1 and x2 respectively.

$x_1=v_1t$

$x_2=v_2t$

Since

$v_2=2v_1$

Then

$x_2=2v_1t$

The distance between them is

$X=x_2-x_1=2v_1t-v_1t$

$X=v_1t$

That distance is known and equals 11.25 miles, thus

$v_1t=15$

Solving for v1 and using t=4.5 hours

$\displaystyle v_1=\frac{15}{4.5}$

$v_1=3.33 \ miles/hour$

$v_2=2\times 3.33$

$\boxed{v_2=6.66 \ miles/hour}$

A cube-shaped box has a volume of 1/8 of a cubic meter. What is the perimeter of each of its

belka [17]

Given:

The volume of a cube-shaped box is $\dfrac{1}{8}$ cubic meter.

To find:

The perimeter of each of its faces.

Solution:

Let "a" be the side length of the cube shaped box. Then the volume of the box is:

$V=(side)^3$

$V=a^3$

It is given that the volume of a cube-shaped box is $\dfrac{1}{8}$ cubic meter.

$a^3=\dfrac{1}{8}$

Taking cube root on both sides, we get

$a=\dfrac{1}{2}$

Now, the perimeter of each face of a cube is:

$P=4a$

Where, a is the side length of the cube.

Putting $a=\dfrac{1}{2}$ , we get

$P=4\times \dfrac{1}{2}$

$P=2$

Therefore, the perimeter of each face of a cube-shaped box is 2 meters.
