5/6= 10/12
Now do:
10/12-4/12= 6/12

6/12 can be simplified to 1/2

A giraffe can run 40 meters per second what is its speed in miles per hour

lora16 [44]

Bearing in mind that, there are

60 seconds in 1 minute,
60 minutes in 1 hr,
1000 meters in 1 km,
and 1.609 km in 1 mile

$\bf \cfrac{40\underline{m}}{\underline{s}}\cdot \cfrac{60\underline{s}}{\underline{min}}\cdot \cfrac{60\underline{min}}{hr}\cdot \cfrac{\underline{km}}{1000\underline{m}}\cdot \cfrac{mi}{1.609\underline{km}}\implies \cfrac{40\cdot 60\cdot 60\cdot mi}{hr\cdot 1000\cdot 1.609}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{144000mi}{1609hr}\approx 89.496581\frac{mi}{hr}$

What is g(x)?.......

8090 [49]

Answer:

g(x) = -|x|

Step-by-step explanation:

Are you familiar with the absolute value function y = |x|?

Its graph is v-shaped and opens up.

If the graph is turned upside down (so that it opens down), then g(x) = -|x|.

What is the slope of the line y = - 5/4x - 5 ?

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

-5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is rise over run which means that the -5 will apply to your y values and the 4 will apply to your x values. This slope would have a point move down 5 units and to the right 4 units to get the location of the next point when going left to right. Because the slope contains a negative, the slope will be angled downward left to right. The negative only applies to the 5.
