Answer: 7/16
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance of the relay race = 1 3/4 miles
Number of runners for the relay team = 4 runners
Distance to be run by each runner will be:
= Distance of the relay race / Number of runners
= 1 3/4 ÷ 4
= 7/4 ÷ 4
= 7/4 × 1/4
= 7/16
Each runner will run 7/16 miles
Answer:
C. –x + 8y = 56
Step-by-step explanation:
Write in standard form.
x − 8
y = −
56
This is a linear function in the slope - intercept form:
y = m x + b and we need a standard form:
a x + b y = c
y = 1/8 x + 7 / * 8 ( we will multiply both sides of equation by 8 )
8 y = x + 56
- x + 8 y = 56 / * ( - 1 )
x - 8 y = - 56
The equation is y = 1/8x + 7
Standard form equation is Ax + By = C, where A > = 0.
First eliminate the fractions by multiplying the equation by 8
8y = x + 56
Subtract x from each side
-x + 8y = 56
SInce x coeficient can't be negative multiply the equation by negative one.
x - 8y = -56
The equation would be L = 1d + 45
After 21 days it would be
L = 1(21) +45
L = 21 + 45
L = 66 miles after 21 days
the denominator (bottom) of the fraction cannot have the value 0. Division BY zero is undefined. The question becomes, then, what value of y makes y - 3 = 0?
Solve that equation for y by adding 3 to both sides, and you get y = 3. That is the nonpermissible replacement for y
