chris runs 2.3 miles every day of the week, except sunday. on sunday he only runs 2 miles. how many miles will he run in 2 weeks

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

He will run 31.6 miles in two weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

6 days a week = 2.3 miles

6 days · 2 weeks = 12 days total running 2.3 miles

1 day a week = 2 miles

1 day · 2 weeks = 2 days total running 2 miles

(12 · 2.3) + (2 · 2)

27.6 + 4

31.6 miles

How can a triangular prism have a greater volume than a rectangular prism?

son4ous [18]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that the two prisms have bases of equal area.

Then the volume of the rectangular prism is V = (base area)(height).

The volume of the triangular prism is V = (1/3)(base area)(height)

We could compare the two volumes by creating the ratio inequality

(1/3) (base area)(t-height)

------------------------------------------

(base area)(r-height)

The triangular prism will have the greater volume for (1/3)((t-height) > r-height.

2/7m-1/7=3/14 solve step by step

yulyashka [42]

Solution for $\frac{2}{7}m - \frac{1}{7} = \frac{3}{14} \ is \ m = \frac{5}{4} \ or \ m = 1\frac{1}{4} \ or \ m = 1.25$

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

It is a case about one variable linear quations and we have to solve the equation to get the variable m. There are two ways to solve it!

Our main plan is to isolate the variable m alone at the end of the process on one side of the equation until the variable will be equal to the value on the opposite side.

<u>First way</u>

$\frac{2}{7}m - \frac{1}{7} = \frac{3}{14}$

Let us add $\frac{1}{7}$ to both sides

$\frac{2}{7}m - \frac{1}{7} + \frac{1}{7} = \frac{3}{14} + \frac{1}{7}$

$\frac{2}{7}m = \frac{3}{14} + \frac{1}{7}$

On the right side for the addition operation, we equate the common denominator by multiplying $\ \frac{1}{7} \ by \ \frac{2}{2}$

$\frac{2}{7}m = \frac{3}{14} + \frac{2}{14}$

Then we combine terms to get

$\frac{2}{7}m = \frac{5}{14}$

Divide by the coefficient of m, or in other words, multiply both sides by $\frac{7}{2}$

$\frac{2}{7}m \times \frac{7}{2} = \frac{5}{14} \times \frac{7}{2}$

Finally, the solution is obtained as follows

$m = \frac{35}{28}$

Simplify fractions, both the numerator and denominator are divided equally by 7.

$\boxed{ \ m = \frac{5}{4} \ }$

Convert into mixed fractions, we get:

$\boxed{ \ m = 1 \frac{1}{4} \ }$

In decimal form, we get

$m = 1 \frac{25}{100} \rightarrow \boxed{ \ m = 1.25 \ }$

<u>Second way (a quick way)</u>

$\frac{2}{7}m - \frac{1}{7} = \frac{3}{14}$

Because the denominators 7 and 14 have LCM = 14, both sides are multiplied by 14 (LCM is the Least Common Multiple)

$14 \times \big( \frac{2}{7}m - \frac{1}{7} \big) = 14\times \big( \frac{3}{14} \big)$

We use the distributive property of multiplication on the left side

$\frac{28}{7}m - \frac{14}{7} = \frac{42}{14}$

or it can also directly lead to

$4m - 2 = 3$

Add 2 to both sides, we get

$4m = 5$

Divide by the coefficient of m, or in other words, both sides are divided by 4

$\boxed{ \ m = \frac{5}{4} \ }$

Or, $\boxed{ \ m = 1 \frac{1}{4} \ }$

Or, $m = 1 \frac{25}{100} \rightarrow \boxed{ \ m = 1.25 \ }$

Wanna check the solution into the equation?

$\big( \frac{2}{7} \times \frac{5}{4} \big) - \frac{1}{7} = \frac{3}{14}$

$\frac{10}{28} - \frac{1}{7} = \frac{3}{14}$

$\frac{5}{14} - \frac{2}{14} = \frac{3}{14}$

$\frac{3}{14} = \frac{3}{14}$

Both sides show the same value, so the solution is correct.

Note:

Remember, how to manipulate both sides of the equation with the algebraic properties of equality such as:

adding,
subtracting,
multiplying, and/or
dividing both sides of the equation with the same number.

In the form of fractions, the steps that must be considered are

equate the denominator,
simplify fractions, and
for the final answer, convert fractions to mixed fractions or decimal forms

All these processes can occur repeatedly until the isolated variables are obtained on one side of the equation.

4m≥m+9>-9+4m<br> Please answer urgent

Vsevolod [243]

Next time, please include the instructions.

This inequality could be broken into two parts:

4m $\geq$ m + 9 AND m + 9 > -9 + 4m

Focus first on the inequality m + 9 > -9 + 4m. subtract m from both sides, obtaining:

9 > -9 + 3m. Next, add 9 to both sides, obtaining: 18>3m, or m<6

Last step: Determine whether the inequality <span>4m≥m+9 is true if m<6.</span>
