Answer:

Hey "Dixie" heres why: That's why you're being told to flip the second fraction. You're recognizing that dividing by a number is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal. ... Now to multiply fractions, we simply multiply the numerators to get the new numerator and multiply the denominators to get the new denominator.

Hope it helped!

The graph shows the altitude of a helicopter over time. A graph measuring altitude and time. A line runs through coordinates (0,
TiliK225 [7]

We can calculate for the slope of the line using the formula:

m = (y2 – y1) / (x2 – x1)

 

From the given values:

m = (4,000 – 10,000) ft / (15 – 0) min

m = -400 ft/min

This means that the altitude is decreasing by 400 ft per minute.

 

 

> The slope is –400 . This means that the helicopter descends 400 ft each minute.

Simone has 20 bills. One fifth of the bills are hundreds, 1/4 of them are fifties, 1/10 of them are $20s. The rest of the bills
larisa [96]
If Simone has 20 bills, then:

1/5 of 20 = 4 [hundreds]
1/4 of 20 = 5 [fifites]
1/10 of 20 = 2 [$20s]

4 * 100 + 5 * 50 + 2 * 20 = 400 + 250 + 40 = 690 [out of $780]
4 + 5 + 2 = 11 [out of 20 bills]

So now we can easily find out she had 9 bills of tens - because 20 - 11 = 9 or because (780 - 690) ÷ 10 = 90 ÷ 10 = 9.
