Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is an illustration of the problem:
----------------------------->|<------------------
A t J
Alex and Jo start from their separate homes and drive towards one another. The t indicates the time at which they meet, which is the same time for both. Filling in a d = rt table:
d = r x t
Alex 14 t
Jo 6 t
The formula for motion is d = rt, so that means that Alex's distance is 14t and Jo's distance is 6t.
14t 6t
---------------------------------->|<------------------
A t J
The distance between them is 5 miles, so that means that Alex's distance plus Jo's distance equals 5 miles. In equation form:
14t + 6t = 5 and
20t = 5 so
t = .25 hours or 15 minutes.
If they leave their homes at 3 and they meet 15 minutes later, then they meet at 3:15.
This pattern of question is always coming up. Since we can't easily guess, then let us set up simultaneous equation for the statements.
let the two numbers be x and y.
Multiply to 44. x*y = 44 ..........(a)
Add up to 12. x + y = 12 .........(b)
From (b)
y = 12 - x .......(c)
Substitute (c) into (a)
x*y = 44
x*(12 - x) = 44
12x - x² = 44
-x² + 12x = 44
-x² + 12x - 44 = 0.
Multiply both sides by -1
-1(-x² + 12x - 44) = -1*0
x² - 12x + 44 = 0.
This does not look factorizable, so let us just use quadratic formula
comparing to ax² + bx + c = 0, x² - 12x + 44 = 0, a = 1, b = -12, c = 44
x = (-b + √(b² - 4ac)) /2a or (-b - √(b² - 4ac)) /2a
x = (-(-12) + √((-12)² - 4*1*44) )/ (2*1)
x = (12 + √(144 - 176) )/ 2
x = (12 + √-32 )/ 2
√-32 = √(-1 *32) = √-1 * √32 = i * √(16 *2) = i*√16 *√2 = i*4*√2 = 4i√2
Where i is a complex number. Note the equation has two values. We shall include the second, that has negative sign before the square root.
x = (12 + √-32 )/ 2 or (12 - √-32 )/ 2
x = (12 + 4i√2 )/ 2 (12 - 4i√2 )/ 2
x = 12/2 + (4i√2)/2 12/2 - (4i√2)/2
x = 6 + 2i√2 or 6 - 2i√2
Recall equation (c):
y = 12 - x, When x = 6 + 2i√2, y = 12 - (6 + 2i√2) = 12 - 6 - 2i√2 = 6 - 2i√2
When x = 6 - 2i√2, y = 12 - (6 - 2i√2) = 12 - 6 + 2i√2 = 6 + 2i√2
x = 6 + 2i√2, y = 6 - 2i√2
x = 6 - 2i√2, y = 6 + 2i√2
Therefore the two numbers that multiply to 44 and add up to 12 are:
6 + 2i√2 and 6 - 2i√2
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
150/30 = 15/3 = 5
Good luck!
1. 2/3. Flip 2/3 into 3/2 and then multiply and simplify.
2. 30/91. Flip 7/6 to 6/7 and then multiply. You cannot simplify the fraction.
3. 26/27. Flip 9/10 to 10/9 and then multiply. You cannot simplify the fraction.
4. 44.2. Multiply it as if there was no decimal. Then count the number of digits after the decimal in each factor. Then put the same number of digits behind the decimal in the product.
5. 98.75. Multiply it as if there was no decimal. Then count the number of digits after the decimal in each factor. Then put the same number of digits behind the decimal in the product.
6. 3.36. Multiply it as if there was no decimal. Then count the number of digits after the decimal in each factor. Then put the same number of digits behind the decimal in the product.
7. 2. Multiply the divisor by as many 10’s as necessary until you get a whole number. Remember to multiply the dividend by the same number of 10’s. Then divide it normally.
8. 10.93 (rounded). Multiply the divisor by as many 10’s as necessary until you get a whole number. Remember to multiply the dividend by the same number of 10’s. Then divide it normally. I rounded it to the hundredth.
Hope this helps!
