Jason ran 5/7 of the distance around the school track. Sara ran 4/5 of Jason's distance. What fraction of the total distance aro

und the track did Sara run?

Jason: 5/7
Sara: 4/5

Think of it this way: if the total track is a mile, and Jason runs 5/7 of it,  he has run 5/7 of a mile. Then Sara runs 4/5 OF 5/7, with "of" meaning "times," so she runs 4/5 x 5/7, which gives you 20/35, which simplifies to 4/7. You can also think of Sara's distance as 80 percent of Jason's. If she runs "80 percent of the sevenths that Jason ran," that means she ran 4 out of his 5 sevenths.

Please help me. The original blueprint of the Moreno’s’ living room has a scale of 2 inches= 5 feet. The family wants to use a n
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

Part a) The scale of the new blueprint is \frac{5}{8} \frac{in}{ft}    

Part b) The width of the living room in the new blueprint is 9.4\ in

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The scale of the original blueprint is

\frac{2}{5}\frac{in}{ft}

and

the width of the living room on the original blueprint is 6 inches

so

<em>Find the actual width of the living room, using proportion</em>

\frac{2}{5}\frac{in}{ft}=\frac{6}{x}\frac{in}{ft}\\ \\x=5*6/2\\ \\x=15\ ft

<em>Find the actual length of the living room, using proportion</em>

\frac{2}{5}\frac{in}{ft}=\frac{9.6}{x}\frac{in}{ft}\\ \\x=5*9.6/2\\ \\x=24\ ft

<em>Find the scale of the new blueprint</em>, divide the length of the living room on the new blueprint by the actual length of the living room

\frac{15}{24} \frac{in}{ft}

simplify  

\frac{5}{8} \frac{in}{ft}      

<em>Find the width of the living room in the new blueprint, using proportion</em>

\frac{5}{8}\frac{in}{ft}=\frac{x}{15}\frac{in}{ft}\\ \\x=15*5/8\\ \\x=9.4\ in

Francine Flicka found a bargain when she bought a lawn mower. She paid the store's clerk three $20 bills and received him $7.45
adoni [48]

Answer:

  $48.97

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p represent the marked price of the mower. Then the price with tax is ...

  with tax = p + 7.3%×p = 1.073p

The amount Flicka paid is the amount tendered less the change she received, so is ...

  3×$20 - 7.45 = with tax = 1.073p

To find p, we can divide by its coefficient:

  (3 × $20 - 7.45)/1.073 = p ≈ $48.97

The selling price before taxes was $48.97.

_____

<em>Comment on the problem</em>

If you check the answer, you find the amount with tax is ...

  $48.97 × 1.073 ≈ $52.54481 ≈ $52.54

so the change Flicka would have received would have been $7.46, not $7.45. If the price were $48.98, then the change would have been $7.44. There is no price at which the mower can be marked that will make the total with tax come to $52.55. There is no solution to this problem.

I found this proof by induction that all people in canada are the same height, i was wondering what is the incorrect step?
frosja888 [35]

The incorrect step in the induction that all people in Canada are the same height is; Step 9

<h3>How to prove Mathematical Induction?</h3>

The principle of mathematical induction as follows:

For example, we have a set of natural numbers. Now, suppose that 1 is in the set. Now, we assume that anytime n is in the set, n + 1 is also in the set. Therefore we can say that every natural number is in the set.

The wrong step in the given mathematical Induction is Step 9. This is because;

We might not be to see anyone else in the arbitrary group G other than groups P or Q!

Recall that G is a group of k + 1 people. Thus, provided that k > 1, k + 1 > 2 and that a third person R in G does not exist, then the rest of the proof will work.

The steps above proves that;

S(k) = S(k + 1), for every k > 1.

Thus, we can also say that if S(2) is true, then it equally means S(3) is true and so on till infinity.

From our induction process written so far, we have see that S(1) was true. However, our induction step in the question does not show us that that S(1) = S(2) = true.

So: Thus, from the induction I have done It shows that S(1) not imply S(2) and as a result the proof is fallacious.

Find the value of x that makes m ∥ n.
arsen [322]

Answer:

x = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for m and n to be parallel, the corresponding angles need to be equal. Therefore we get the equation:

3x = 120

Divide both sides by 3 to get:

x = 40
