Christian reads 1/4 book every 2/3 week. How many books does Christian read per week?

2 answers:

8 0

(1/4) / (2/3) = x / 1...1/4 book to 2/3 week = x books to 1 week
cross multiply because this is a proportion
2/3x = 1/4
x = 1/4 * 3/2
x = 3/8 per week

First you must convert the denominator to an equal number by finding a same multiple, in this case it is 12. So the factions convert to 3/12 and 8/12. Now add the two, resulting in 11/12. So the answer is 11/12

PLEASE HELP!!! here are two different strategies to find the new price of a hat after a discount of 40%. The hat was originally

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Method 1: Calculate 40% discount on original price, then subtract discount from original price.

Amount of discount = 40% of $30

= 0.40 × $30

= $12

New price = $30 - $12 = $18

Method 2:

New price = (100% - discount percentage) of original price

= 60% of original price

= 0.60 × $30

= $18

Find the distance between (2, 2) and (-4, 4). Round answer to the nearest tenth.

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

6.3

Step-by-step explanation:

First off, we need the distance formula, which is:

$\sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$

If we plug in the points, we get:

$\sqrt{(-4 - 2)^2 + (4 - 2)^2}$

If we simplify everything under the square root, we get:

$\sqrt{(-6)^2 + (2)^2}$

$\sqrt{36 + 4}$

$\sqrt{40}$

In decimal, the answer is 6.3

Express the volume of the box as a<br>polynomial in the variable x

Whitepunk [10]

The volume of the box as a polynomial in the variable x is x(12 - 2x)(7 - 2x)

<h3>How to determine the volume?</h3>

The complete question is added as an attachment

From the attached image, we have:

Length = 12 - 2x

Width = 7 - 2x

Height = x

The volume is calculated as:

Volume = Length * Width * Height

Substitute the known values in the above equation

Volume = (12 - 2x) * (7 - 2x) * x

This gives

Volume = x(12 - 2x)(7 - 2x)

Hence, the volume of the box as a polynomial in the variable x is x(12 - 2x)(7 - 2x)
