Answer: 6

Step-by-step explanation: First rewrite 10 as 10/1 and 1 and 2/3 as 5/3.

Mixed numbers can be changed to improper fractions by multiplying the denominator by the whole number and then adding the numerator. We then put out numerator over our old denominator.

So we have 10/1 ÷ 5/3 or 10/1 × 3/5.

It's important to understand that dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal. In other words, we can change the division to multiplication and flip the second fraction.

Now multiplying across the numerators and across the denominators, we have 30/5. Notice however that 30/5 is not in lowest terms so we divide the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor of 30 and 5 which is 6 and we end up with 6.

Therefore, 10 ÷ 1 and 2/3 = 6.

Lin runs 5 laps around a track in 6 minutes. How many minutes per lap is that? ___minutes How many laps per minute is that? ___

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

a. 1.2 minutes

b. 0.83 laps

c. 25.2 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Lin runs 5 laps around a track in 6 minutes.

a. How many minutes per lap is that?

5 laps = 6 minutes

1 laps = x minutes

Cross Multiply

x minute × 5 laps = 6 minutes × 1 laps

x minute = 6 minutes × 1 laps/5 laps

x laps = 1.2 minutes

Hence, it is 1.2 minutes per lap

b. How many laps per minute is that?

6 minutes = 5 laps

1 minute = x laps

Cross Multiply

6 minutes × x laps = 1 minute × 5 laps

x laps = 1 minute × 5 laps/6 minutes

x laps = 0.8333333333 laps

Hence, it is 0.83 laps per minute.

c. If Lin runs 21 laps at the same rate,

5 laps = 6 minutes

21 laps = x minutes

Cross Multiply

x minute × 5 laps = 6 minutes × 21 laps

x minute = 6 minutes × 21 laps/5 laps

x laps = 25.2 minutes

Hence, it takes her 25.2 minutes

What is the equation of a line that passes through the point (8, 1) and is perpendicular to the line whose equation is y=−2/3x+5

Kazeer [188]

Y = -2/3x + 5....the slope here is -2/3. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. To find the negative reciprocal, we flip the slope and change the sign. So our perpendicular line will have a slope of 3/2 (see how I flipped -2/3 making it -3/2....and then changed the sign, making it 3/2)

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 3/2
(8,1)....x = 8 and y = 1
now we sub and find b, the y int
1 = 3/2(8) + b
1 = 12 + b
1 - 12 = b
-11 = b

so ur perpendicular equation is : y = 3/2x - 11 <==

To use a compass to find the midpoint of a line segment, Rebecca draws two arcs of equal radius from each of the two endpoints o

DiKsa [7]

We are given a line segment with two points on each end. Rebecca draws two arcs with equal radius from each point. Now, the intersection of the two arcs is the midpoint of the line. This can be explained by the radius of the arcs. Since they are equal, meaning they have the same distance from each point. Thus, the midpoint of the line.

Answer:

$6\pi$

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the circumference of a circle is:

$C=2\pi r$

We know that r is 8, so we can plug that into the formula.

However, there's a problem. We only want 3pi/4 of the circumference, not the entire circle's circumference. Therefore, we have to divide by part/whole. In this case, the part is 3pi/4, and the whole is 2pi (the entire circle is 2pi radians).

$C = (\frac{3\pi/4}{2\pi})*(2\pi *8)\\C = (\frac{3}{8})(16\pi)\\C = \frac{48\pi }{8} \\C = 6\pi$
