If we represent Tobin's speed as x, we can write her opponent's speed as 
x-2 (since Tobin is 2 more than them). In addition, since it's in miles per hour, and 45 minutes is 3/4 of an hour, we can say that 3/4ths of her speed in miles per hour is how long the race is, so (3/4)(x-2)=distance of race. In addition, since it only took Tobin 30 minutes, and 30 minutes is half an hour, x/2 (half of her miles per hour) is the length of the race, so (3/4)(x-2)=(1/2)x. Expanding it, we get 3x/4-6/4=x/2. Subtracting x/2 (or 2x/4) from both sides, we get x/4-6/4=0 and by adding 6/4 to both sides we get x/4=6/4. Multiplying 4 to both sides, we get that x=6=Tobin's speed in miles per hour

A glass cylinder is completely filled with 24x^5y^8 cubic inches of salt solution. The jug has a base area of 4x^5 square inches
xz_007 [3.2K]
We know that

volume of a cylinder=area of the base*height
area of the base=4x^5  in²
height=<span>24x^5y^8/ 4x^5 in
volume=</span>24x^5y^8 in³

height=24x^5y^8/ 4x^5 ------> (24/4)*(x^5/x^5)*(y^8)------> (6)*(1)*(y^8)-----> 6y^8

the answer is
B: 6y^8

5 2/7+1 2/7 as a mixed number in simplest form
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

6 4/7

Step-by-step explanation:

I personally break it down like this:

Is 2 greater than 7? No so that means the whole number would stay 5.

Same for the other number. Then add the whole numbers attached to the fraction. Which is 6. Then go to the fraction. 2/7 + 2/7 is 4/7. This cannot be simplified anyfurther.

What’s the answer for IJG
Flauer [41]

Answer:

<u>∠IJG = 123° </u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Since AB║CD, EF ║GH, we can use the Corresponding Angles Postulate, for finding the following congruent angles:

∠IKL ≅ ∠EIJ and  ∠EIJ  ≅ ∠GJA

∠GJA and ∠IJG are supplementary, therefore:

∠GJA + ∠IJG = 180°

∠IJG = 180° - 57°

<u>∠IJG = 123°</u>
