When you convert fron pints to quarts why do you divide

1 answer:

5 0

We divide when converting pints to quarts because pints are smaller units of measurements than quarts, so when converting pints to quarts, our answer will be getting smaller. This is because 2 pints= 1 quart, so since we are trying to find the amount of quarts that the pints can make up, we will always divide the pints by 2. (since 2 pints= 1 quart)

Answer:

10 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent athlete's walking speed.

We have been given that her jogging rate is 5 mph faster than her walking rate, so athlete's jogging speed would be $x+5$ miles per hour.

$\text{Distance}=\text{Rate}\cdot \text{Time}$

10 minutes = 1/6 hour.

20 minutes = 1/3 hour

While walking, we will get $D_{\text{walking}}=x\frac{\text{miles}}{\text{hour}}\cdot \frac{1}{3}\text{hour}$

$D_{\text{walking}}=\frac{x}{3}$

While jogging, we will get $D_{\text{jogging}}=(x+5)\frac{\text{miles}}{\text{hour}}\cdot \frac{1}{6}\text{hour}$

$D_{\text{jogging}}= \frac{(x+5)}{6}$

Since athlete is covering same distance while walking and jogging, so we can equate both expressions as:

$\frac{x}{3}=\frac{x+5}{6}$

Cross multiply:

$6x=3x+15$

$6x-3x=15$

$3x=15$

$\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{15}{3}\\\\x=5$

Therefore, athlete's walking speed is 5 miles per hour.

Jogging speed: $x+5\Rightarrow 5+5=10$

Therefore, athlete's jogging speed is 10 miles per hour.

Answer:

${x}^{3} + 13 {x}^{2} + 34x - 56$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(x + 7)( {x}^{2} + 6x - 8) \\ = x ( {x}^{2} + 6x - 8) + 7( {x}^{2} + 6x - 8) \\ = {x}^{3} + 6 {x}^{2} - 8x + 7 {x}^{2} + 42x - 56 \\ = {x}^{3} + 6 {x}^{2} + 7 {x}^{2} + 42x - 8x - 56 \\ = {x}^{3} + 13 {x}^{2} + 34x - 56 \\$
