George found that he blinked 85 times in 15 minutes. At this rate, how many seconds passed during 51 blinks?

1 answer:

6 0

First convert the 15 minutes to seconds
60 sec-= 1 minute
900 sec = 15 minutes

ratio and proportion

85 blinks/900 sec= 51 blinks/ x seconds

cross multiply
85x=45900
divide by 85
x= 540 seconds
hope this helps

15y^-11/3y^-11, show steps I need help please don't understand how to do it.

tester [92]

One may note, you never quite asked anything per se, ahemm, if you meant simplification.

$\bf \left.\qquad \qquad \right.\textit{negative exponents}\\\\
a^{-{ n}} \implies \cfrac{1}{a^{ n}}
\qquad \qquad
\cfrac{1}{a^{ n}}\implies a^{-{ n}}
\qquad \qquad 
a^{{{ n}}}\implies \cfrac{1}{a^{-{{ n}}}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{15y^{-11}}{3y^{-11}}\implies \cfrac{15}{3}\cdot \cfrac{y^{-11}}{y^{-11}}\implies 5\cdot y^{-11}\cdot y^{+11}\implies 5\cdot y^{-11+11}
\\\\\\
5y^0 \implies \boxed{5}$
