Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

Five divided by the difference of the number and 8 means

5 / (x-8) and this is

equals the quotient of 10 and the sum of a number and 7.This means

10 / (7+x)

Therefore,

5 / (x-8) = 10 / (7+x)

Cross multiplying,

5(7+x) = 10(x-8)

35 + 5x = 10x - 80

5x - 10x = -80- 35

-5x = - 115

x = -115/5 = 23

2)

If Jon can paint the fence in 3 hours

This means Jon can paint the fence in 1/3 per hour

If Karen can paint it in 5 hours

This means Karen can paint the fence in 1/5 hours

Their combined rate is additive since they work simultaneously. Jon doesn't stop for Karen to work and Karen doesn't stop for Jon to work.

Their combined rate is

1/3 + 1/5 = 8/15

Let's assume the combined time is t hours.

The combined time per hour is 1/t per hour. Therefore 1/t = 8/15

t = 15/8 = 1.875 hours

Multiply. (give answer as a mixed number.) 6 1/4 x 3 3/5 =
sladkih [1.3K]
Okay, I went through a lot of work to try solving this, so here goes! First, turn the mixed numbers into improper fractions. 6 1/4 --> 25/4 3 3/5 --> 18/5 Next, we need to multiply the two improper fractions together. 25 x 18 450 --- --- = --- 4 x 5 20 Then, we need to turn 450/20 into a mixed number. To do this, we divide. 450/20=22 10/26 We're almost done. Last step is to simplify the mixed number, specifically 10/26. We need to find GCF of 10 and 26, which is 2. 10/2=5 26/2=13 = 5/13 FINAL ANSWER - 22 5/13 You're welcome.

Because n > 30, the sampling distribution of the mean ages can be approximated by a normal distribution with mean µ and standard deviation σ ÷ √(45) .The central limit theory applies whenever n > 30. Because n > ​30, the sampling distribution of the mean ages can be approximated by a normal distribution with mean µ and standard deviation σ ÷ √(n) .

1. What is the volume of the cube?
andrew11 [14]
I'm guessing 15 mm is the side length.

V = a^3

Where 'a' is the side length.

V = 15^3

V = 3375

So the volume of the cube is 3375 mm^3.
