Answer: $\frac{41}{20}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to make the division of the fractions $\frac{9}{16}$ and

$\frac{1}{4}$ . To do this, you can flip the fraction $\frac{1}{4}$ over and multiply the numerators and the denominators of the fractions. Then:

$(\frac{\frac{9}{16}}{\frac{1}{4}})-\frac{1}{5}=(\frac{9}{16}*4)-\frac{1}{5}=\frac{36}{16}-\frac{1}{5}$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{36}{16}$ :

$=\frac{9}{4}-\frac{1}{5}$

Now you can make the subtraction: in this case the Least Common Denominator (LCD) will be the multiplication of the denominators. Divide each denominator by the LCD and multiply this quotient by the corresponding numerator and then subtract the products. Therefore you get:

$=\frac{45-4}{20}=\frac{41}{20}$

An Eastbound train (E) traveling 95 mph and a Westbound train (W) traveling 110 mph leave the same train station at different ti

Simora [160]

Answer:

The system of linear equations that can be used to determine the time that each of the trains has been traveling is:

E + W = 4 ....... Equation 1

95 E + 110W = 400 ......Equation 2

Hence,

An Eastbound train has been travelling for = (E) = 2.67 hours

A Westbound train has been travelling for = (W) = 1.33 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

An Eastbound train (E) traveling 95 mph and a Westbound train (W) traveling 110 mph leave the same train station at different times. After 4 hours, they are 4 00 miles apart. Which system of linear equations can be used to determine the time that each of the trains has been traveling?

Speed = Distance/Time

Distance = Speed × Time

Let the time

An Eastbound train = (E)

A Westbound train = (W)

E + W = 4 hours ....... Equation 1

95mph × E + 110mph × W = 400 miles

95 E + 110W = 400 miles ......Equation 2

The system of linear equations that can be used to determine the time that each of the trains has been traveling is:

E + W = 4 ....... Equation 1

95 E + 110W = 400 ......Equation 2

E = 4 - W

We substitute 4 - W for E in Equation 2

95 (4 - W) + 110W = 400

380 - 95W + 110W = 400

Collect like terms

95W - 110W = 400 - 380

15W = 20

W = 20/15

W = 1.3333333333 hours

≈ 1.33 hours

E = 4 - W

E = 4 - 1.33 hours

E = 2.67 hours

Therefore,

An Eastbound train has been travelling for = (E) = 2.67 hours

A Westbound train has been travelling for = (W) = 1.33 hours

Margaret wants to cover a footrest in the shape of a rectangular prism with cotton fabric. The footrest is 18 in. 12 in. 10 in.

user100 [1]

Answer:

No, she cannot completely cover the footrest.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we need to find the total surface area of the prism to be covered using the cotton cloth

the total surface area of the prism is

A = 2wl + 2lh + 2hw,

l is the length of the prism = 18 in,

w= width of the prism = 12 in,

h is the height of the prism = 10 in

hence $A = 2(12 \times 18 ) + 2(18 \times 10) + 2(10 \times 12)=1032in^{2}$

We need to convert the area of the fabric to be in the same unit as that of the prism

Area of cotton fabric = $1 yd^{2}= 1296 in ^{2}$

since the surface area of the foot rest is more than the area of fabric she has, she cannot completely cover the footrest

Please walk me through how to do this so I can di the other questions

Naddik [55]

Answer:

Axis is a vertical line at x = 2

Vertex is (2, -1)

y-intercept is (0, 3)

Solutions are x = 1 and x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To draw the graph of the quadratic equation you must find at least 5 points lie on the graph by choose values of x and find their values of y

Let us do that

Use x = -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

∵ y = x² - 4x + 3

∵ x = -1

∴ y = (-1)² - 4(-1) + 3 = 1 + 4 + 3 = 8

→ Plot point (-1, 8)

∵ x = 0

∴ y = (0)² - 4(0) + 3 = 0 + 0 + 3 = 3

→ Plot point (0, 3)

∵ x = 1

∴ y = (1)² - 4(1) + 3 = 1 - 4 + 3 = 0

→ Plot point (1, 0)

∵ x = 2

∴ y = (2)² - 4(2) + 3 = 4 - 8 + 3 = -1

→ Plot point (2, -1)

∵ x = 3

∴ y = (3)² - 4(3) + 3 = 9 - 12 + 3 = 0

→ Plot point (3, 0)

∵ x = 4

∴ y = (4)² - 4(4) + 3 = 16 - 16 + 3 = 3

→ Plot point (4, 3)

∵ x = 5

∴ y = (5)² - 4(5) + 3 = 25 - 20 + 3 = 8

→ Plot point (5, 8)

→ Join all the points to form the parabola

From the graph

∵ The axis of symmetry is the vertical line passes through the vertex point

∵ x-coordinate of the vertex point is 2

∴ Axis is a vertical line at x = 2

∵ The coordinates of the vertex point of the parabola are (2, -1)

∴ Vertex is (2, -1)

∵ The parabola intersects the y-axis at point (0, 3)

∴ y-intercept is (0, 3)

∵ x² - 4x + 3 = 0

∵ The solutions of the equation are the values of x at y = 0

→ That means the intersection points of the parabola and the x-axis

∵ The parabola intersects the x-axis at points (1, 0) and (3, 0)

∴ Solutions are x = 1 and x = 3
