How to write the ratio of the amount of time spent playing video games to the amount of time spent watching television

Mathematics

Pavlova-9 [17]3 years ago

You can write it just as given:

... (time spent in video games)/(time spent in television) = (10 minutes)/(1 hour)

However, the intent is to end with a pure number (no units), so we need to convert hours to minutes or vice versa. Most folks know that 1 hour is 60 minutes, so that is probably the easier conversion.

... = (10 minutes)/(60 minutes)

... = 10/60 . . . . . . . . . the units in numerator and denominator are the same, so cancel

... = 1/6 . . . . . . . . . . . .the fraction is reduced in the usual way

The ratio in simplest form is 1/6.

Blanca runs 8 laps around the track each day to train for an endurance race. She times each lap to practice her pacing for the r
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

A graph shows lap time (seconds) labeled 82 to 98 on the horizontal axis and the number of laps on the vertical axis. 1 lap was 82 to 84 seconds.  4 laps were 84 to 86 seconds. 2 laps were 86 to 88 seconds. 4 laps were 88 to 90 seconds. 6 laps were 90 to 92 seconds. 5 laps were 92 to 94 seconds. 2 laps were 94 to 96 seconds. 0 laps were 96 to 98 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The given table is presented as follows;

\begin{array}{ccc}Day \ 1 \ lap \ times \ (seconds)&Day \ 2 \ lap \ times \ (seconds)&Day \ 3 \ lap \ times \ (seconds)\\83&87&85\\92&90&86\\91&92&91\\89&91&93\\94&92&91\\93&95&89\\88&90&88\\84&85&84\end{array}The number of laps in the range 82 to 84 seconds = 1

The number of laps in the range 84 to 86 seconds = 4

The number of laps in the range 86 to 88 seconds = 2

The number of laps in the range 88 to 90 seconds = 4

The number of laps in the range 90 to 92 seconds = 6

The number of laps in the range 92 to 94 seconds = 5

The number of laps in the range 94 to 96 seconds = 2

The number of laps in the range 96 to 98 seconds = 0

Therefore, the histogram that represents Blanca's lap times for the three days of practice is described as follows;

A graph shows lap time (seconds) labeled 82 to 98 on the horizontal axis and the number of laps on the vertical axis. 1 lap was 82 to 84 seconds.  4 laps were 84 to 86 seconds. 2 laps were 86 to 88 seconds. 4 laps were 88 to 90 seconds. 6 laps were 90 to 92 seconds. 5 laps were 92 to 94 seconds. 2 laps were 94 to 96 seconds. 0 laps were 96 to 98 seconds

1. 5 13/30, 5 1/6, 5 68,90, order these fractions from least to greatest
ella [17]
You may find it easiest if you convert all the fractions to decimal form:

5.433...
5.166...
5.756

Now reorder these from smallest to largest.

Note:  I had to guess that by "68,90," you actually meant "68/90."

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

-9x^3+4x^2+5

Step-by-step explanation:

(6x^2 - 3 - 5x^3) - (4x^3 +2x^2 - 8)

distribute the minus sign

(6x^2 - 3 - 5x^3) - 4x^3 -2x^2 + 8

Combine like terms

-5x^3 -4x^3 +6x^2 - 2x^2 -3 +8

-9x^3+4x^2+5
