The first thing we must do for this case is to define variables:
x: the total mass of the chemical in the container
y: a sample of a chemical from a container
We have the following equation:
y = (3/10) x - 5 3/4
Then, for y = 39.1 we have:
39.1 = (3/10) x - 5 3/4
Clearing x:
(3/10) x = 39.1 + 5 3/4
(3/10) x = 44.85
x = (10/3) * (44.85)
x = 149.5 grams
Answer:
the total mass in grams of the chemical in the container before the scientist removed the sample of 39.1 grams was:
x = 149.5 grams.
Answer:
Her speed is of 2 miles per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Velocity:
The velocity is given by the following formula:

In which v is the velocity, d is the distance and t is the time.
2/3 mile in 1/3 hour .
This means that 
Which unit rate describes antoinettes speed in miles per hour?
This is v. So

Her speed is of 2 miles per hour.
9514 1404 393
Answer:
(c) -3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtracting a positive number moves you to the left on the number line. Subtracting a negative number moves you in the opposite direction, to the right.
Here, we start at -2 1/2 = -5/2, and we move 1 3/4 = 7/4 to the right from there. Each mark on this number line is 1/4 unit, so we move 7 marks. The results is ...
-2 1/2 -(-1 3/4) = -5/2 +7/4
= -10/4 +7/4 = -3/4
