Important:  Please express fractions properly:  use the " / " symbol to represent division.  Your question should read:

"<span>A Mallard duck flies 5/6 of a mile in 1/60 of a hour.  Find the rate (speed) at which it flies."

To do this, divide the distance flown by the elapsed time:
                                    5
5/6   mile                  -----
-----------------   =  -------6------------- miles / hr
1/60   hour </span>
                                        1
                                       -----
                                         60

to divide 5/6 by 1/60,  write    5/6 and multiply that by the reciprocal of 1/60. 

In other words,   write    5/6, invert (1/60) and then multiply.

This comes out to                    (5)(60)
                                                ----------  mph
                                                  (6)(1)

Do not multiply here.  Instead, reduce 60/6 to 10/1.

Can you now write out the final answer, in mph?  (miles per hour)

Answer:

Option D - x = 3 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets make the left side into an improper fraction :

2 2/5 = 12/5

Now let's make both fraction into equivalent ones but with the same denominator :

2/3 = 10/15

12/5 = 36/15

Now we substitute the equivalent values back into the equation :

10/15 × x = 36/15

Now we multiply both sides by 15 to remove the denominators:

10 × x = 36

Now we divide both sides by 10 and simplify :

x = 36/10

x = 18/5

x = 3 3/5

So our answer will be Option D  

Hope this helped and brainliest please

What is <br> f(x)= (x-12)(x+1)<br> in standard form?
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

x^2-11x-12

Step-by-step explanation:

I use the box method, which makes a 2x2 box. Then you arrange you numbers based on the equation (show in image)

Then you multiply it out and get the equation

F(x)= x^2+x-12x-12

Simplify your equation and you get

F(x)= x^2-11x-12
