Answer: Look at it this way, you are adding 4.2, .5 times. So if you find what 1.5 is of 4.2 you then add that to 4.2. The 1 stands for how many times the number is being multiplied by. So in this case the number is only being multiplied once. Then we move onto the decimal point which says that the number is being multiplied by .5 times. This means that 2.1 (which is half of 4.2) is being added onto 4.2. Hope this makes sense. I always use a calculator for multiplying so its hard to put the process into words haha.
Step-by-step explanation:
21 * (-1) = -21
21 + (-1) = 20
Answer:
45 km/h
Step-by-step explanation:
In the first part of the trip, he already covered 30 km so we can subtract that from the total distance
45 - 30 = 15
This means he has 15 km to go
He also took an hour, or 60 minutes, to get to school. We subtract the time spent of the first part and time spent talking to a friend from the 60 minutes
60 - 35 = 25
25 - 5 = 20
He took 20 minutes to cover the second part of the journey
Speed = distance/time
15/20 = 0.75
He covered 0.75 km per MINUTE
to find it in km/h, we just multiply the number by 60
0.75 x 60 = 45
