Answer:

3/22

Step-by-step explanation:

Reciprocal means the inverse of the fraction. For your mixed number 7 and 1/3, turn it into fraction by multiplying 7 with the denominator which is 3, then add the numerator which is 1 to get the numerator of a normal fraction which is 22. The numerator remains the same.

The fraction is 22/3. As mentioned above, reciprocal means the inverse, so the final answer is 3/22

A salmon is swimming in a river that is flowing downstream at a speed of 2 miles per hour. The slamon can swim 12 miles upstream

Olegator [25]

Answer:

The speed of the salmon in still water is 6 mi/h

Step-by-step explanation:

When an object moves with a speed So (So measured in still water) in a river with speed Sr:

If the object moves along the current (downstream), then the actual speed of the object will be:

S = So + Sr

If the object moves upstream, then the velocity will be:

S = So - Sr

In this case we know the speed of the river downstream is 2 mi/h

Sr = 2mi/h

And we know that the salmon can swim 12 miles upstream in the same time (T) that it can swim 24 miles downstream.

Here you need to remember the relation:

Distance = Time*Speed.

Then we know that:

24 mi = (So + 2mi/h)*T

12 mi = (So - 2mi/h)*T

Now we can take the quotient of these two equations to get:

(24mi/12mi) = ( (So + 2mi/h)*T)/((So - 2mi/h)*T)

2 = (So + 2mi/h)/(So - 2mi/h)

Let's multiply both sides by the denominator of the right part:

2*(So - 2mi/h) = (So + 2mi/h)

2*So - 4mi/h = So + 2mi/h

Now we need to isolate So, the speed of the salmon in still water:

2*So - So = 2mi/h + 4mi/h

So = 6mi/h

The speed of the salmon in still water is 6 mi/h

Liam is setting up folding chairs for a meeting. If he arranges the chairs in 9 row of the same length, he has 3 chairs left ove

EleoNora [17]

Let the number of chairs in a row be x, then the total number of chairs is 9x + 3 = 7x + 19. i.e. 9x + 3 = 7x + 19; 9x - 7x = 19 - 3; 2x = 16 x = 16/2 = 8. Thus there are 8 chairs in each row. Therefore, the total number of chairs is given by 9(8) + 3 = 72 + 3 = 75.I hope that my answer is helpful! Let me know if you need something more :)

mr.mcbride asks students to find the volume of the triangular pyramid below. which student wrote the correct expression for the

Black_prince [1.1K]

Given:

Given that the height of the pyramid is 20 inches.

The sides of the triangle are 9 in, 12 in and 15 in.

The expression for the area of the base written by JO is $\frac{1}{2}(9 \cdot 15)$

The expression for the area of the base written by MAE is $\frac{1}{2}(9 \cdot 12)$

We need to determine the correct expression for the area of the base written by the student.

Expression for the area of the base:

The area of the base of the triangular prism can be determined using the formula,

$B=\frac{1}{2}bh$

where b is the base of the triangle and h is the height of the triangle.

From the figure, the base of the triangle is 9 inches and the height of the triangle is 12 inches.

Substituting in the above formula, we get;

$B=\frac{1}{2}(9 \cdot 12)$

Thus, the correct expression for the area of the base is $B=\frac{1}{2}(9 \cdot 12)$

Hence, the expression wrote by MAE is correct.
