I can help clarify Anna's answer. 0.4, which for some reason you did not know, is equal to 2/5, or answer choice (A).

First you want to collect the like terms, 2a=45 , then divide both sides of the equation by 2 which is a=2/5 , or a=0.4

Answer:

look at explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve all of these questions you just need to scale. While scaling you can divide or multiply.

1. \frac{180 km}{4 hrs} (divide by 4 to get unit rate)

     unit rate = \frac{45km}{1hr}

2. If it takes one hour to travel 40 miles, then we don't have to scale or anything. We know \frac{40 miles}{1 hr}, the answer is...

"It'll only take one hour to travel 40 miles. This is correct because the unit rate is \frac{40 miles}{1 hr}. "

3. Knowing that the constant speed of the plane is \frac{800 km}{1 hour\\}, we can scale then add half of the unit rate to get our answer.

\frac{800 km}{1 hour\\} x 3 = \frac{2400 km}{3 hrs}   800 x 3 = 2400

then add half of unit rate which is \frac{400 km}{30 mins}  \sqrt[2]{800} = 400

so, our answer is \frac{2800 km}{3.5 hours}

4.  \frac{3km}{30 mins} <--- ( divided by 2) \frac{6 km}{1 hr} ( multiplied x 2.5) ---> \frac{15 km}{2.5 hrs}

To get an easier way to find the answer, if possible you can scale back farther than the 1 hour mark.

Elmer would take 2 and a half hours to ride 15 km.

5. The boys speed is \frac{4 km}{1 hr}. All we need to do is divide by 2. \sqrt[2]{8} = 4

How to convert 4.5 into a decimal
zepelin [54]

Answer:

do you mean a fraction? if so..

Step-by-step explanation:

Every number in decimal form, in which either decimals terminate or certain numbers after decimal point continue to repeat endlessly, can be written as a fraction. As the given number 4.5 terminates after first deciimal it can be written as fraction. Here we have 4.5=4510= 9/2

which as a fraction means 4 and because you have 1 left over from the 9 its 4 1/2 or 4.5 :)
