10 units earn a profit of 5 in 2 months

that means

1 unit earns a profit of 0.5 in 2 months

that means

1 unit earns a profit of 0.25 in 1 month

---

8 units earn a profit 8*0.25=2 in 1 month

8 units earn a profit of 3*2=6 in 3 months

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

multiplying fractions is usually super simple.  You just multiply the top numbers and multiply the bottom numbers.  So 2/3 * 5/7 = (2*5)/(3*7) = 10/21.

Here you have mixed fractions.  For me, the easiest way is to  make them improper fractions and then multiply them.  So 2 and 3/4 becomes 11/4 and 1 and 13/20 becomes 33/20.  Let me know if you don't get that.

Anyway, if we make the unknown fraction x we can rewrite this as an algebraic equation.

(11/4)x = 33/20  Now just multiply both sides by 4 and divide both sides by 11 and you will get

x = 3/5

Again, let me know if there's something you don't understand.

Shannon's scooter has a piece of tape stuck to the tire. If the tire has a diameter of 18 inches, how far does the piece of tape
maria [59]

Shannon's scooter has a piece of tape stuck to the tire. If the tire has a diameter of 18 inches, the distance traveled by the piece of tape in 72 degree rotaion can be solve using:

S= ra, where s is the distance traveled, r is the radius and a is the angle in radians

s = (18in/2)(72 degree)(pi/180 degrees) = 11.31 in.
