Simple,

1/2 of 60

re-write it as 0.5 of 60 aka 0.5*60

which is 0.5*60=30

Do the same with 1/2 of 24.

0.5 of 24

0.5*24=12.

Thus, it's not the same because they are different numbers and different number give you different answers.

how would you multiply negative numbers? or negative fractions for example -12 x 12 is what and please explain good
galina1969 [7]

Answer:-12 x 12 =- 144.

What you do is multiply regularly then add the negative sign, but if your multiplying  2 negatives it’s a positive answer. I cant help with the Fractions caz I’m not good at them lol .

Sam read 20% of the book on Monday and 0.2 of the book on Tuesday. If he read 50% of the remainder on Wednesday and still had 36
KonstantinChe [14]
Okay first you need to convert 0.2 to a percentage which would be 20% then 20% + 20% = 40% then it says he read 50%, 50% of 36 means that you have to multiply 36 two times to get, 72 then you do 72 * 40% = 28.8 = 29 + 72 = 101 pages in all then 101- 40%= 60.6 is how many pages were read on Monday and Tuesday.

Step 3a: Calculating the average rate
Alex73 [517]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  a) average rate = (total distance)/(total time)

  b) Rave = 2·R1·R2/(R1 +R2)

  c) cheetah's average rate ≈ 50.91 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Let AB represent the distance from A to B. Let t1 and t2 represent the travel times (in hours) on leg1 and leg2 of the trip, respectively. Then the distances traveled are...

  First leg distance: AB = 70·t1   ⇒   t1 = AB/70

  Second leg distance: AB = 40·t2   ⇒   t2 = AB/40

The average rate is the ratio of total distance to total time:

  average rate = (AB +AB)/(t1 +t2)

  average rate = 2AB/(AB/70 +AB/40) = 2/(1/70 +1/40) = 2(40)(70)/(70+40)

  average rate = 560/11 = 50 10/11 . . . mph

__

No equations are given, so we cannot compare what we wrote with the given equations. In each step of the solution, we have used the rules of algebra and equality.

b) For two rates over the same distance (as above), the average is their harmonic mean:

  average rate = 2r1·r2/(r1+r2)

__

c) The cheetah's average rate was 50 10/11 mph ≈ 50.91 mph.
