What is 5 1/4 ÷ -2 1/2 equal as a mixed number and simplified form

Mathematics

Elis [28]3 years ago

This is first a division problem, and secondly a division problem involving one negative quantity.  The correct rewrite of this expression will therefore be negative:

- (5 1/4 ÷ 2 1/2).  

Rewrite 5 1/4 as 21/4 and 2 1/2 as 5/2.  Then we have:

- (21/4) ÷ (5/2),

which is equivalent to:

- (21/4) * (2/5) = - 42/20 = -21/10, or -2 1/10.

a particular submarine is 12 m long. A model of it was built with a scale of 1 cm: 3 m. How long is the model? Show all work.
slamgirl [31]
1cm : 3m

to get from 12m to 3m you have to divide by 4, so if:

3 x 4 = 12

then you do the same to the 1cm and you get:

1 x 4 = 4

Therefore:

1cm : 3m
4cm : 12cm

the model is 4cm

the answer is the above in bold
hope it helped :)

PLEASE helppp. What equation describes a line that is perpendicular y=-2/7x+5 and has the same y-intercept as y = 3x - 2?
svp [43]

Answer:

y = 7/2 -2

Step-by-step explanation:

if the slope of the first problem is -2/7 then its perpendicular is 7/2 (the exact opposite) and since the y- intercept is the b in Y= mx +b the intercept of the equation you’re trying to find is -2
