Answer:
x is EQUIVALENT to 2.89
Step-by-step explanation:
It could be any fraction from 5/9 to 7/9.
X=23 First, you have to subtract 12 by 12 to cancel it out. Next, you have to do the same thing to 20.05. 20.05 minus 12 is 8.05. All you have left is .35x. To get rid of the this you have to divide .35x by .35. Now all you have left is x. Finally you have to do the same thing to 8.05. 8.05 divided by .35 is 23. So, x=23
So the formula is
7*(1/3+1/5) = x
First find the common denominator of the fractions. In this case the common denominator of 3 and 5 is 15 so we must convert them to 15ths. To do that we divide 15 by the denominator and take that answer and multiply the numerator by it.
So for 1/3 we take 15/3(denominator) = 5 and multiply the numerator (1) by it
5 * 1 = 5 so 1/3 converts to 5/15
Do the same for 1/5 we take 15/5 = 3 and multiply the numerator (4) by it
3*4 = 12 so 4/5 converts to 12/15
Now we add 5/15 and 12/15 = 17/15 so we have our formula now to
7*17/15
We make seven a fraction 7/1 and multiply across 7*17 = 119 and 15 * 1 = 15
We have 119/15 which when we divide and get 7 14/15 as your answer
3 hours is longer than 175 minutes. An hour is 60 minutes long, so just multiply that by 3 and compare your answer to 175.
60 x 3 = 180
180 > 175
Therefore, 3 hours is longer than 175 minutes.
Hope this helps!
