H(arold) = 2 + 2*K(enneth)

H = 2 + 2K

H + K = 38

Substitution:

2 + 2K + K = 38

3K = 36

K = 12

Kenneth solved 12 problems and Harold solved (2(12) + 2 = 24 + 2 =) 26 problems

What is the quotient? Negative StartFraction 3 over 8 EndFraction divided by negative one-fourth

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

$\dfrac{3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given 2 fractions.

1st fraction is Negative StartFraction 3 over 8

i.e.

$-\dfrac{3}{8}$

2nd fraction is negative one-fourth

i.e.

$-\dfrac{1}{4}$

We have to find the quotient when 1st fraction is divided by 2nd fraction.

<u>Definition</u> of quotient is given as:

Quotient is the result obtained when one number is divided by other number.

$-\dfrac{3}{8} \div -\dfrac{1}{4} \text{ is to be calculated.}$

$\div$ is converted to $\times$ and the 2nd fraction is reversed i.e.

if the fraction is $\frac{p}{q}$ it becomes $\frac{q}{p}$ and the sign $\div$ is changed to $\times$ .

Solving above:

$-\dfrac{3}{8} \times -\dfrac{4}{1}\\ \text {Multiplication/Division of 2 negative number gives a positive number}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{3}{2}$

So, the quotient is $\frac{3}{2}$ .

The temperature is -3 F at 7:00 am During the next 4 hours the temperature increases 21 F. What is the temperature at 11:00am ?

telo118 [61]

Now what you want to do is 21 + (-3). Since this is the same as saying 21 - 3, the answer is 18. Therefore, the answer is 18°F.
