The answer is 2 1/5 because 1 3/8 is =11/8 TIMES 2/5 IS 2 1/5
hope it helped.
sara speed is half of Jeanette's so if jeanette ran 7 miles then her walking speed is 3.5MPH and sense she is 7 miles ahed sara is 10.5 miles behind... 3.5MPH which is jeanette speed is double than sara so 3.5/2 is 1.75MPH... Saras walking speed is 1.75MPH
Here, we can set up a proportion:
34 ÷ 3/4 = ? ÷ 1
34*1 = 34
34÷3/4 = the time needed to build one toyboat
34/3/4 = 45.3333333333
45.3 repeating is not a whole number, so we need to approximate.
45 is the closest whole number,
So.. a machine can paint 45 toy boats per hour.
I really hope that helped! :)
There's a key problem in this question compelling you to actually rewrite it like that! Mathematically that is inaccurate and incorrect. If you do 72(8+19) it seems as if you are going to do 8+19*72 as in algebra whatever is outside the bracket is bound to go multiplied so technically (8+19)+72 would make more sense and the answer is
Using bidmas do the brackets first
8+19= 27
27+72=99
Polynomials can have double roots, in fact they're pretty common. if you get a reasonable zero it costs very little time to try it again for a double root. answer is the second choice
