Answer:
Total length of the first swing=64 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The total length of all four swings can be expressed as;
Total length of all 4 swings=Length of first swing+length of second swing+length of third swing+length of fourth swing
where;
Total length of all 4 swings=175 m
Length of first swing=x
Length of second swing=75% of length of first swing=(75/100)×x=0.75 x
Length of third swing=75% of length of second swing
Length of third swing=(75/100)×0.75 x=0.5625 x
Length of fourth swing=75% of length of third swing
Length of fourth swing=(75/100)×0.5625 x=0.421875 x
replacing;
Total length of all 4 swings
175=x+0.75 x+0.5625 x+0.421875 x
2.734375 x=175
x=175/2.734375
x=64
Total length of the first swing=x=64 m
119/8 is already in simplest form. However, if you attempt to change it to a mixed number the correct answer would be 14 7/8 (7 over 8).
Hope I helped!
When a negative number multiplies a negative number, it becomes positive
since it is multiplication, just multiply across, you do not need same denominators
5/8 x 16/25 = 80/200
80/200 = 40/100 = 20/50 = 2/5
2/5 is your answer
