8. A number whose fifth part is increased by 5 is equal to its fourth part diminished by 5 . find the number

the number = X

fifth part = X/5

fifth part is increased by 5 = X/5 + 5

fourth part = X/4

fourth part diminished by 5 = X/4 - 5

fifth part is increased by 5 is equal to its fourth part diminished by 5

X/5 + 5 = X/4 - 5

X/5 - X/4 = - 5 - 5

(4X - 5X)/20 = - 10

- X/20 = - 10

X = 200

Check:

X/5 + 5 = X/4 - 5

200/5 + 5 = 200/4 - 5

40 + 5 = 50 - 5

45 = 45

Which graph shows the information in the table? PLZ HELP I GIVE BRAINLIEST IM TIMED!!!!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I think that's the answer because

60 minutes = 1 hr

120 minutes = 2hrs

So the graph must be constant with the write amount of min/hr since the x axis is the number of mins and the y axis is the number of hours. (x,y)

(60,1)

(120,2)

I need help to these questions. Convert these fractions to a decimal 7/8 , 4 3/8. Thanks

ehidna [41]

Simple...

you have: $\frac{7}{8}$ and $4 \frac{3}{8}$

Now, the first one is easy just divide it...

$\frac{7}{8} =0.875$

Now....

$4 \frac{3}{8}$ needs to be converted...

Multiply the whole number*denominator...

4*8=32

Now add the numerator....

32+3=35

Now use the original denominator...

$\frac{35}{8}$

Now divide...

$\frac{35}{8}=4.375
$

Thus, your answer.
