A new machine can produce two more engine parts in an hour than an old machine. Therefore, the new machine finished a certain jo

b in 7 hours while the old one needed 8 hours to produce the same number of engine parts. How many parts did the new machine produce in an hour?

For this type of problems, we try to work with the rate of production per unit time.

Let
x=rate of production of old machine (parts/hour)
x+2=rate of production of new machine  (parts/hour)

"the new machine finished a certain job in 7 hours while the old one needed 8 hours to produce the same number of engine parts. "  
means
7(x+2) = 8x
Solve for x
8x-7x=14
x=14 parts/hour (rate of old machine)
x+2=16 parts/hour (rate of new machine)

Check:  7(14+2)=112, 8(14)=112  ✔

The coordinates of Point S are (2/5, 9 1/8). The coordinates of Point T are (-5 7/10, 9 1/8). What is the distance between Point
m_a_m_a [10]

something noteworthy, the y-coordinate for each point is the same, 9⅛, that means is a horizontal line, over which the x-coordinates are at, so since it's a horizontal line, all we need to do is find, what's the distance between \bf \frac{2}{5}\textit{ and }-5\frac{7}{10}

of course, let's firstly convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction and then check their difference.

\bf \stackrel{mixed}{5\frac{7}{10}}\implies \cfrac{5\cdot 10+7}{10}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{57}{10}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{2}{5}-\left[-\cfrac{57}{10} \right]\implies \cfrac{2}{5}+\cfrac{57}{10}\implies \stackrel{\textit{using the LCD of 10}}{\cfrac{(2)2+(1)57}{10}}\implies \cfrac{4+57}{10}\implies \cfrac{61}{10}\implies 6\frac{1}{10}
