7/12 of 1 hour:

1 hour = 60 min.

7/12 * 60

7 * 5 = 35

Francis ran 2 1/2 miles in 35 min.

2 1/2 = 5/2


5/2 miles = 35 min

x miles = 60 min

(Cross Multiply)


5/2 * 60 = 35x

5 * 30 = 35x

150 / 35 = x

x = 30 / 7 = 4 2/7 miles


Francis ran 4 2/7 miles in one hour.

Since a fraction multiplied by the the numbers flipped (in this case, it's 12/7) gets you one, you have to multiply both 2 and 1/2 and 7/12 by 12/7 you get 4 and 4/14 miles ran in 2 hour

Explanation:

Let's look at the 3 sandwiches and 3 soups first and then expand the calculation. There are 9 ways I can have one of the sandwiches and 1 of the soups:

And so we can see that we multiply the number of sandwiches and the number of soups to get the total number of ways to get one of each.

The same works for more categories of choices, and so we multiply the 3 sandwiches, the 3 soups, 4 salads, and 2 drinks to get:

Find the greatest number of six digit which is a perfect square.
Vesna [10]
A "perfect square" is an integer that is the square of an integer.

The largest 6-digit integer is 999,999.

The square root of it is 999.9995

So the greatest square of an integer is the square of 999 = <u>998,001</u> .

What is the inverse of the function h(x)=\dfrac{5}{2}x+4h(x)= 2 5 ​ x+4h, left parenthesis, x, right parenthesis, equals, start
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

The inverse of the function h(x) is h^{-1}(x)=\frac{2}{5}x-\frac{8}{5}.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

h(x)=\dfrac{5}{2}x+4

Replace h(x) by y.

y=\dfrac{5}{2}x+4

Interchange x and y.

x=\dfrac{5}{2}y+4

Subtract 4 from both sides to isolate variable y,

x-4=\dfrac{5}{2}y

Multiply both sides by 2.

2x-8=5y

Divide both sides by 5.

\frac{2}{5}x-\frac{8}{5}=y

Replace y by h⁻¹(x).

h^{-1}(x)=\frac{2}{5}x-\frac{8}{5}

Therefore the inverse of the function h(x) is h^{-1}(x)=\frac{2}{5}x-\frac{8}{5}.

If a canoe travels with a speed of A mph for 3 hours, and then with a speed of B mph for the rest of the journey, how long does
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

t = (C - 3*A)/B + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question that,

the speed with which canoe travelled for first 3 hours = A

the speed with which he travelled for any and all time thereafter = B

As we do not know the values of A, B, or C, so the answer will be an expression for C in terms of A and B.

<h3>Formula to use</h3>

distance = speed x time

C = A*3 + B*(t-3)

Rearranging and solving for t

C - (A*3) = B*(t-3)

C - (A*3) = Bt - B3

C - (A*3) + B3 = Bt

t = C - (A*3) + B3 / B

or

t = (C - 3*A)/B + 3
