Answer:

10 2/15 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have a candle that is 11 2/5 inches tall

It burns 1 1/8 inches per hour. We need to divide to see how long the candle will last

11 2/5 ÷ 1 1/8

I will convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions

11 2/5 = (5*11+2)/5 = 57/5

1 1/8 = (8*1+1)/8 = 9/8

57/5 ÷ 9/8

Copy dot flip

57/5 * 8/9

456/45

Now we change it back to a mixed number

45 goes into 456 10 times with 6 left over

10 6/45

This simplifies to 10 2/15

Answer:

$x = 3\sqrt{2}$

$y = 6\sqrt{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle is a 30-60-90 right triangle.

The ratio of the lengths of the sides is:

$1 : \sqrt{3} : 2$

The order of the sides in the ratio above is

short leg : long leg : hypotenuse

The long leg is sqrt(3) times the length of the short leg.

$x \times \sqrt{3} = 3\sqrt{6}$

$x = \dfrac{3\sqrt{6}}{\sqrt{3}}$

$x = 3 \times \sqrt{\dfrac{6}{3}}$

$x = 3\sqrt{2}$

The hypotenuse is twice the length of the short leg.

$y = 2 \times 3\sqrt{2}$

$y = 6\sqrt{2}$

8x-5y=21 simultaneous linear equation<br>2x+9y=-5

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

$x=2$ and $y=-1$

Step-by-step explanation:

If two equations are given, we can solve one of the equation in terms of single variable and put it in the other equation which will further give the value of x and y.

For the given equations:

$8x-5y=21$ Equation:1

$2x+9y=-5$ Equation:2

Solving equation multiply equation 2 with 4 on both the sides

$8x+36y=-20$ Equation 3

Subtracting Equation:3 from Equation:1

$8x-5y-(8x+36y)=21-(-20)\\8x-5y-8x-36y=21+20\\-41y=41\\y=-1$

Putting value of 'y' in Equation:2 which will give the value of x

$2x+9y=-5\\2x+9(-1)=-5\\2x-9=-5\\2x=4\\x=2$
