Mathematics

Leona [35]3 years ago

Answer:

The distance is equivalent to 800 rods and 2200 fathoms.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The distance of the Kentucky Derby in furlongs is 20 furlongs.

Now, in order to convert the distance in rods and fathoms, we use the conversion factor for each.

We know that,

1 furlong = 40 rods.

Therefore, the conversion factor is \frac{40\ rods}{1\ furlong}

So, 20 furlongs is equivalent to rods =20\ furlongs\times \frac{40\ rods}{1\ furlong}=800\ rods

Therefore, 20 furlongs is equivalent to 800 rods.

Now, we also know that,

1 furlong = 110 fathoms

So, the conversion factor is \frac{110\ fathoms}{1\ furlong}

So, 20 furlongs is equivalent to rods =20\ furlongs\times \frac{110\ fathoms}{1\ furlong}=2200\ fathoms

Therefore, 20 furlongs is equivalent to 2200 fathoms.

What is the solution to the equation 41/5 =15-(2x+3)
likoan [24]
\frac{41}{5}=15-(2x+3) \\\\ \frac{41}{5}=15-2x-3 \\\\ \frac{41}{5}=12^{(5}-2x^{(5} \\\\ 41=60-10x \\\\ 41-60=-10x \\\\ -19=-10x \\\\ 19=10x \\\\ \boxed{x=\frac{19}{10}}

(2a-5)/6 = 5/12 what is the answer?
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

a = 15/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

(2a-5)/6 = 5/12

Cross multiply:

12(2a - 5) = 5*6

24a - 60 = 30

24a = 90

a = 90/24

a = 15/4.
