1/4 mile in 1/32 hr
unit rate would be x miles in 1 hour.
A complex fraction is a fraction that has a fraction in the numerator OR denominator OR both.

(1/4) / (1/32) =(1/4) * (32/1) = 8 miles in 1 hour

Answer:

8 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a person runs a distance of 1/ 4 of a mile in 1/ 32 of an hour.

We have to compute the unit rate by setting up a complex fraction and simplifying

Let us find distance travelled in one hour.

$\frac{1}{32} hour .... \frac{1}{4} miles\\1 hour ... \frac{1}{4} /\frac{1}{32}\\=\frac{32}{4} =8mph$

i.e. unit rate is he travels in one hour 8 miles.

Unit rate is normally for a single unit and other unit is left correspondingly

Here hour or time is made as unit i.e. one hour and distance travelled in one hour is calculated as 8 miles per hour.

MATH HELP PLZ!!!

Answer:

a) $tan (157.5) = \frac{1-cos 315}{sin315}$

$sin (165) =\sqrt{ \frac{1-cos (330) }{2}}$

$sin^{2} (157.5) = \frac{1-cos (315) }{2}$

cos 330° = 1- 2 sin² (165°)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

By using trigonometry formulas

cos2∝ = 2 cos² ∝-1

cos∝ = 2 cos² ∝/2 -1

1+ cos∝ = 2 cos² ∝/2

$cos^{2} (\frac{\alpha }{2}) = \frac{1+cos\alpha }{2}$

cos2∝ = 1- 2 sin² ∝

cos∝ = 1- 2 sin² ∝/2

$sin^{2} (\frac{\alpha }{2}) = \frac{1-cos\alpha }{2}$

Step(i):-

Given

$tan\alpha = \frac{sin\alpha }{cos\alpha }$

we know that trigonometry formulas

$sin\alpha = 2sin(\frac{\alpha }{2} )cos(\frac{\alpha }{2} )$

1- cos∝ = 2 sin² ∝/2

Given

$tan(\frac{\alpha }{2} ) = \frac{sin(\frac{\alpha }{2} )}{cos(\frac{\alpha }{2}) }$

put ∝ = 315

$tan(\frac{315}{2} ) = \frac{sin(\frac{315 }{2} )}{cos(\frac{315 }{2}) }$

multiply with ' 2 sin (∝/2) both numerator and denominator

$tan (\frac{315}{2} )= \frac{2sin^{2}(\frac{315)}{2} }{2sin(\frac{315}{2} cos(\frac{315}{2}) }$

Apply formulas

$sin\alpha = 2sin(\frac{\alpha }{2} )cos(\frac{\alpha }{2} )$

1- cos∝ = 2 sin² ∝/2

now we get

$tan (157.5) = \frac{1-cos 315}{sin315}$

$sin^{2} (\frac{\alpha }{2}) = \frac{1-cos\alpha }{2}$

put ∝ = 330° above formula

$sin^{2} (\frac{330 }{2}) = \frac{1-cos (330) }{2}$

$sin^{2} (165) = \frac{1-cos (330) }{2}$

$sin (165) =\sqrt{ \frac{1-cos (330) }{2}}$

c )

$sin^{2} (\frac{\alpha }{2}) = \frac{1-cos\alpha }{2}$

put ∝ = 315° above formula

$sin^{2} (\frac{315 }{2}) = \frac{1-cos (315) }{2}$

$sin^{2} (157.5) = \frac{1-cos (315) }{2}$

cos∝ = 1- 2 sin² ∝/2

put ∝ = 330°

$cos 330 = 1 - 2sin^{2} (\frac{330}{2} )$

cos 330° = 1- 2 sin² (165°)

Answer:15 times

Step-by-step explanation:

For the 3 batches it is 3 x 5/4 (5/4 is how much each batch costs)=15/4

And you must divide 15/4 by 1/4 or multiply it by 4 crossing out the denominator giving you your answer 15

Simplify square root

NemiM [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

look up rules of multiplying radicals.

You can multiply the radicands (the number inside the square root) then take the square root of the new number.

3*21 = 63

Factor 63 into 3*3*7

Pull out 3^2 from inside the square root

leaves you with 3sqrt7 or answer C
