A person runs 1/8 mile in 1/64 hour.<br> The person's speed is (BLANK) miles per hour.
snow_tiger [21]

Answer: The person's speed is 8 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve we want to convert the \frac{1}{8} and \frac{1}{64} proportionally for the number of miles per hour. We know that multiplying a fraction by its reciprocal will equal 1. So let's do that for the value of the hour.

\frac{1}{64}×\frac{64}{1} =\frac{64}{64} =1

Since we multiplied that to the number of hours we must also do that for the number of miles.

\frac{1}{8}×\frac{64}{1} =\frac{64}{8} =8

PLEASE SHOW YOUR WORK WITH YOUR ANSWER. Two bags had 50 kilograms of sugar each. After taking out 3 times as much sugar from bag
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Bag 1: 20

Bag 2: 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount taken out of bag 2

Then the amount left in each bag can be written as:

Bag 1: 50-3x

Bag 2: 50-x

Since we know that half of bag 2 is bag 1, that gives us:

50-3x = 1/2(50-x)

-> 50-3x = 25-x/2

Now lets isolate x and solve:

25 = 5x/2

-> 50 = 5x

-> x = 10

So plug x bag in for the original equations:

Bag 1: 50-3x = 50-3(10) = 20

Bag 2: 50-x = 50-10 = 40
