Answer:666 hours

Step-by-step explanation: The reason is that if you turn the problem into an equation it would be h=Lx. h= hours. L=how long the log lasts and x=how many logs. So when you plug in the numbers you get 101010=L*151515. So we need to find L. What you do is you divide both sides by 151515 since it is the opposite of multiplication. 151515/151515 gets crossed out and 101010/151515 is .6666666666666 irrational. So the equation now looks like .666666 irrational=L. So .66666 irrational is your L. Know you plug .666666 irrational into your original equation. Which is now h=.6666 irrational*x. So to find how long the fire keeps on burning with 999 logs you just plug 999 into x and now your equation looks like this h=.6666 irrational*999. If you multiply .6666 irrational by 999 your final answer is 666.

Which explains how to find the quotient of the division below? Negative 3 and one-third divided by StartFraction 4 over 9 EndFra
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

(B) Write Negative 3 and one-third as Negative StartFraction 10 over 3 EndFraction, and find the reciprocal of StartFraction 4 over 9 EndFraction as StartFraction 9 over 4 EndFraction. Then, rewrite Negative 3 and one-third divided by StartFraction 4 over 9 EndFraction as Negative StartFraction 10 over 3 EndFraction times StartFraction 9 over 4 EndFraction. The quotient is Negative 7 and StartFraction 6 over 12 EndFraction = Negative 7 and one-half.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the quotient of the division:

-3\dfrac13 \div \dfrac49

Step 1: \text{Write}$ $ -3\dfrac13$ as $ -\dfrac{10}{3}

-3\dfrac13 \div \dfrac49 =  -\dfrac{10}{3} \div \dfrac49

Step 2: Find the reciprocal of  \dfrac94

-\dfrac{10}{3} \times \dfrac94\\=-7\dfrac12

Susan drove at an average speed of 30 miles per hour for the first 30 miles of a trip and then at an average speed of 60 miles p
garik1379 [7]
The average speed is given by:
average speed=(total distance)/(total time)
total time for the first 30 miles was:
time=distance/speed
=30/30
=1 hr
total time for the remaining 30 miles
=30/60
=0.5
hence the average speed will be:
speed=(30+30)/(1+0.5)=60/1.5=40 miles per hour
