Answer:

120 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = rate * time

D = 70 miles

t = 35 minutes

So that gives us:

70 mi = r(35 min)

Divide both sides by 35 min:

70/35 mi/min = r

simplify:

2 mi/min = r

If you wish to convert to miles per hour, remember that there are 60 minutes in an hour:

2 * 60 = 120

120 mph = r

Answer:

Step-by-steplanation:

Add: 1

2

+ 2

5

= 1 · 5

2 · 5

+ 2 · 2

5 · 2

= 5

10

+ 4

10

= 5 + 4

10

= 9

For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of the both denominators - LCM(2, 5) = 10. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 2 × 5 = 10. In the next intermediate step the fraction result cannot be further simplified by cancelling.

In words - one half plus two fifths = nine tenths.

Conversion a mixed number 6 2

7

to a improper fraction: 6 2/7 = 6 2

7

= 6 · 7 + 2

7

= 42 + 2

7

= 44

7

To find new numerator:

a) Multiply the whole number 6 by the denominator 7. Whole number 6 equally 6 * 7

7

= 42

7

b) Add the answer from previous step 42 to the numerator 2. New numerator is 42 + 2 = 44

c) Write previous answer (new numerator 44) over the denominator 7.

Six and two sevenths is forty-four sevenths

Add: the result of step No. 1 + 44

7

= 9

10

+ 44

7

= 9 · 7

10 · 7

+ 44 · 10

7 · 10

= 63

70

+ 440

70

= 63 + 440

70

= 503

70

For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of the both denominators - LCM(10, 7) = 70. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 10 × 7 = 70. In the next intermediate step the fraction result cannot be further simplified by cancelling.

In words - nine tenths plus forty-four sevenths = five hundred three seventieths.

Help please:Suppose that x and y inversely, and x=10 when y=8 write the function that models the inverse variation
jarptica [38.1K]

SOLUTION

From the question, we are told that y varies inversely as x

This is mathematically written as

\begin{gathered} y\propto\frac{1}{x} \\ \propto\text{ is a sign of proportionality } \end{gathered}

Now, we will remove the proportionality sign and replace it with equal to sign =

If we do this, we will intoduce a constant k

\begin{gathered} y\propto\frac{1}{x} \\ y=k\times\frac{1}{x} \\ y=\frac{k}{x} \end{gathered}

So we have the formula

y=\frac{k}{x}

We will substitute the values of x for 10 and y for 8 into the formula to get k, we have

\begin{gathered} y=\frac{k}{x} \\ 8=\frac{k}{10} \\ k=8\times10 \\ k=80 \end{gathered}

Now, we will substitute k for 80 back into the formula to get the inverse function, we have

\begin{gathered} y=\frac{k}{x} \\ y=\frac{80}{x} \end{gathered}

Hence the answer is option C

Could you please help me with this problem?

First Question:

Number of trapezoids - 6

Perimeter - 72

3 + 3 + 3 + 6 = <u>15</u>

3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 6 + 6 = <u>24</u>

3 + 3 + 6 + 3 + 3 + 6 + 3 + 6 = <u>33</u>

15 + 24 + 33 = <u>72</u>

Second Question:

Number of cubes - 6

Surface area - 24 (probably 480 since it said <em>area</em>)

first cube - 6 ones

second cube - 8 ones

Third cube - 10 ones

you could do 6 + 8 + 10 = 24 or add up all the ones (1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1) and you will still get 24

(It said <em>area</em>, and area means to multiply so maybe its 6 x 8 x 10 = 480 and not 6 + 8 + 10)

Anyways have a good day/night :) I might be wrong, but I hope I helped at least a little
