Part (a)

<h3>Answer:  0.2</h3>

----------------------------------

Work Shown

It costs $15 to rent a bike for 3 hours. We can write the following ratio below

15 dollars : 3 hours

To represent the connection of the two concepts (dollars connecting with hours)

We want the "15 dollars" to turn into "1 dollar". This is because the phrasing "per dollar" really means "per 1 dollar".

Divide both sides of the ratio by 15 to achieve this goal.

15 dollars : 3 hours

15/15 dollars : 3/15 hours

1 dollar : 1/5 hours

1 dollar : 0.2 hours

0.2 hours : 1 dollar

So we get 0.2 hours per dollar.

As a side note, 0.2 hours = 0.2*60 = 12 minutes.

========================================================

Part (b)

<h3>Answer:  3.38</h3>

----------------------------------

Work Shown

27 pages : 8 minutes

27/8 pages : 8/8 minutes

3.375 pages : 1 minute

3.38 pages : 1 minute

I'm dividing both parts of the original ratio by 8 to turn "8 minutes" into "1 minute" (due to the phrasing "per minute"). Don't forget to round to 2 decimal places.

The area of a rectangle is 980 in squared. the ratio of the length to the width is 5 : 4. find the length and the width.
ella [17]
Answer:   The length of the rectangle is 35 in.

                 The width of the rectangle is 28 in.
_________________________________________________________
Explanation:
_________________________________________________________
The formula for the area, "A", of a rectangle:

Area (A) = length (L) * width (w) ; 
 
  that is:   "  A  =  L  *  w  "  ;

A = 980 in²  (given);

ratio of the length to the width is:  " 5 : 4 " (given); 

→   Find the length (L) and the width (w).
_________________________________________________________

→  980 in²  =  (5x) * (4x) ; 

in which:  " 980 in² " is the area of the triangle; 

                 " 5x" = the length (L) of the rectangle, for which we shall solve; 

                 " 4x" = the width (w) of the rectangle, for which we shall solve.
_______________________________________________________
If we find solve for "x" ; we can solve for  "5x" and "4x" (the "length" and the "width", respectively);  by plugging in the solved value for "x" ; 
_______________________________________________________

   →  980 in²  =  (5x) * (4x) ; 

   ↔   (5x) * (4x) = 980 in²  ; 

   →   (5x) * (4x) = (5) * (4) * (x) * (x)  = 20 * x² = 20x² ;

   →  20x²  =  980 ;

Divide each side by "10" ; by canceling out a "0" on each side of the equation:

   →  2x² = 98 ; 

Now, divide each side of the equation by "2" ;

   → 2x² / 2  =  98 / 2 ; 

to get:  

→  x² = 49 ; 

Now, take the "positive square root" of each side of the equation;  (since a "length or width" cannot be a "negative value") ; 
    to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ; 

→  ⁺√(x²) = √49 ; 

to get:

→  x = 7 ;
______________________________________________________
Now, we can solve for the "length" and the "width" ; 

→  The length is:  "5x" ;   

     5x = 5(7) =  " 35 in " ; 
______________________________________________________
→  The width is:  "4x" ; 

     4x =  4(7) =  "28 in."
______________________________________________________
Let us check our answer:

    →  A = L * w ; 

    →  980 in² = ?  35 in. * 28 in. ?? ; 

   Using a calculator:  "35 * 28 = 980" .  Yes!   ;
____________________________________________________
 { Also note:  " in * in = in² " ?  Yes! } .

Find a polynomial function p of lowest​ degree, having rational​ coefficients, with the given zero. 5i
weqwewe [10]
If we have one zero of +5i, we also have to have its conjugate which is -5i.  Therefore, the factors that we will FOIL to get that polynomial are (x+5i)(x-5i).  That distribution results in x^{2} -25 i^{2}.  I'm sure by now you know that i squared is equal to -1, so -25(-1) = 25.  So our polynomial is x^{2} +25=y
