Answer:

Let's think.

If we want the man to be in the best case scenario in which he loses the most pounds that his limit lets him, we should always make the man lose the highest he could go: 6 pounds.

This is just a simple multi step problem if you break it down.

If his goal is to get to 243 pounds, we firstly subtract 243 from 340 to see how much he needs to lose.

340 - 243 = 97

The man wants to lose 97 pounds.

Let's divide this number by 6 with remainder.

I'll let you think for a bit.

97 / 6 = 16 remainder 1.

This means that in 16 weeks, he needs to lose 6 pounds while on the 17th week, he needs to lose 1 pound.

I'm sorry if i misunderstood.

Good luck Mate :)

Don't forget to try everyday !

Answer:

<h2>d : e : f = 4 : 3 : 6</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

\bold{METHOD\ 1}\\\\6d=8e\qquad\text{divide both sides by 6}\\\\d=\dfrac{8}{6}e\to d=\dfrac{4}{3}e\\\\\text{Substitute it and}\ f=2e\ \text{to the ratio}\ d:e:f:\\\\\dfrac{4}{3}e:e:2e\qquad\text{cancel}\ e\\\\\dfrac{4}{3}:1:2\qquad\text{multiply by 3}\\\\\huge\boxed{4:3:6}

\bold{METHOD\ 2}\\\\6d=8e\qquad\text{divide both sides by 6}\\\\d=\dfrac{8}{6}e\qquad\text{divide both sides by}\ e\neq0\\\\\dfrac{d}{e}=\dfrac{4}{3}\to d:e=4:3\\\\2e=f\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\e=\dfrac{f}{2}\to e=\dfrac{1}{2}f\qquad\text{divide both sides by}\ f\neq0\\\\\dfrac{e}{f}=\dfrac{1}{2}\to e:f=1:2\\\\\text{We have}\ d:e=4:3\ \text{and}\ e:f=1:2.

\text{We know}\ \dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{1\cdot3}{2\cdot3}=\dfrac{3}{6}\\\\\text{threfore}\ e:f=3:6\\\\\text{Now we have}\\\\\left\begin{array}{ccc}d:e=4:3\\e:f=3:6\end{array}\right\}\large{\boxed{d:e:f=4:3:6}}

A car is traveling at a steady speed. It travels 1 3/4 miles in 2 1/3 minutes. How far will it travel in 45 minutes? In 1 hour?
mina [271]

Answer:

33.75 miles in 45 minutes,

45 miles in an hour

Step-by-step explanation:

45 minutes: 2 1/3= 7/3 ---> 7/3*3=7,

                    1 3/4= 7/4 ---> 7/4*3=5.25

car travels 5.25 miles for every 7 minutes,

45/7*5.25= 33.75 miles

1 hour (60 minutes):

using that the car travels 5.25 miles for every 7 minutes,

60/7*5.25= 45 miles

Hope that makes sense!
