77 times 5 is the total time the commuter train over the period of 5 days.77*5=385.
71+74+78+78+x=385. 71+74+78+78=301. 385-301 is 84. So the fifth trip was 84 minutes long.

Average time of a commuter train trip from one town to the city = 77 minutes
Time taken by 1 trip = 71 minutes
Time taken by another trip = 74 minutes
Time taken by 3rd and 4th trip each = 78 minutes
Let us assume the time taken during the 5th trip = x
Then
(71 + 74 + 78 +78 +x)/5 = 77
301 + x = 77 * 5
301 + x = 385
x = 385 - 301
   = 84 minutes
So the length of the fifth trip was 84 minutes. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.

If 7 gallons of paint are needed to paint 4 rooms. How many gallons of paint will they need to paint 11? set up the proportion t
charle [14.2K]

Given the information, we have a direct proportionality. Then, the proportions would be:

\frac{7}{x}=\frac{4}{11}

solving for x we get the following:

\begin{gathered} \frac{7}{x}=\frac{4}{11} \\ \Rightarrow7=\frac{4}{11}\cdot x \\ \Rightarrow\frac{7}{\frac{4}{11}}=x \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{11\cdot7}{4}=\frac{77}{4}=19\frac{1}{4} \\ x=19\frac{1}{4} \end{gathered}

therefore, to paint 11 rooms, we will need 19 1/4 gallons of paint

If a = 6, which of the following is equal to a 2?1o-36O O-122
Tju [1.3M]

Solution:

The question given is a negative exponent.

To solve this, we apply the law of indices for negative exponents.

Negative exponent law is indicated below;

a^{-x}=\frac{1}{a^x}

Thus, applying this law to the question;

a^{-2}=\frac{1}{a^2}

Given:

a = 6

Substituting a = 6 into the expression, we have;

\frac{1}{a^2}=\frac{1}{6^2}

Therefore, the correct answer is;

\frac{1}{6^2}
