1/2 divided by 2/5

In order to get the correct answer you need to flip the second fraction and then multiply it with the first fraction so it will stay like this:

1/2 x 5/2

To find the answer you need to multiply 1 x 5= 5 and 2 x 2=4 which will give you the final answer which is:

5/4 as improper fraction or it can also be 1 1/4 as mixed number, both are correct.

tamaranim1 [39]

If you travel at a constant speed, you follow this formula:

$s = vt$

where s is the space traveled, v is the speed and t is the time passed. Knowing the speed and the desired space, we can solve the equation for the time:

$t = \dfrac{s}{v}$

Plug your values:

$t = \dfrac{30}{45} = \dfrac{2}{3}$

And two-thirds of an hour are 40 minutes.

To convert his speed in miles per minutes, you only need to use that one hour is composed of 60 minutes:

$\dfrac{45 \text{ miles}}{1\text{ hour}} = \dfrac{45 \text{ miles}}{60\text{ minutes}} = \dfrac{3 \text{ miles}}{4 \text{ minutes}} = 0.75$ miles per minute

The circumference of a circle is 274.37 m. what is the approximate area of the circle? use 3.14 for pi. use pencil and paper. e

Inessa [10]

The circumference of a circle can be found by applying the formula 3.14*diameter. To find the area of a circle requires you to use the equation 3.14 * r^2. A change in diameter will affect the circumference. The approximate diameter of the circle 87.14 meters. This means the equation is 1854.7749*3.14, making the approximate area of the circle 5823.99319 m^2. ROund if you need to.
