Answer:

The towel bar should be placed at a distance of 23\frac{1}{24}\ cm from each edge of the door.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of the towel bar = 24\frac14\ cm

Now given length is in mixed fraction we will convert in fraction.

To Convert mixed fraction into fraction Multiply the whole number part by the fraction's denominator, then Add that to the numerator, then write the result on top of the denominator.

24\frac14\ cm can be Rewritten as \frac{97}{4}\ cm

Length of the towel bar =  \frac{97}{4}\ cm

Length of the door = 70 \frac13\ cm

70 \frac13\ cm can be Rewritten as \frac{211}{3}\ cm

Length of the door = \frac{211}{3}\ cm

We need to find the distance bar should be place at from each edge of the door.

Solution:

Let the distance of bar from each edge of the door be 'x'.

 So as we placed the towel bar in the center of the door it divides into two i.e. '2x'

Now we can say that;

\frac{97}{4}+2x=\frac{211}{3}\\\\2x=\frac{211}{3}-\frac{97}{4}

Now we will take LCM to make the denominators common we get;

2x=\frac{211\times4}{3\times4}-\frac{97\times3}{4\times3}\\\\\\2x= \frac{844}{12}+\frac{281}{12}

Now denominators are common so we will solve the numerators.

2x =\frac{844-291}{12}\\\\2x=\frac{553}{12}\\\\x=\frac{553}{12\times2} =\frac{553}{24}

Or x=23\frac{1}{24}\ cm

Hence The towel bar should be placed at a distance of 23\frac{1}{24}\ cm from each edge of the door.

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

10.4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Write an equation for the total cost paid as a function of the # of miles driven:

L(x) = $6.75 + ($3.20/mile)x

and set this equal to $40.03 to determine the # of miles Lupita rode:

L(x) = $6.75 + ($3.20/mile)x = $40.03

Isolate the x term by subtracting $6.75 from both sides:

($3.20/mile)x = $40.03 - $6.75 = $33.28

Finally, divide both sides by  ($3.20/mile):

x = $33.28 /  ($3.20/mile)

  =  10.4 miles

Lupita rode 10.4 miles in the taxi.

Answer:

The equation — E = mc2 — means "energy equals mass times the speed of light squared." It shows that energy (E) and mass (m) are interchangeable.

Hope this helped
