Lets write down what we know...

Laura walks 3/5 mile to school everyday

Laura=3/5mile

Isaiah's walk is 3 times as long as Lauras, so

Isaiah=Laura*3

We know how far Lauras walk is so we can solve for Isaiah's walk

Isaiah=3/5*3 (or Isaiah=3/5+3/5+3/5 if thats easier for you to solve for)
Isaiah=9/5 miles

Now we know the answer! Great, Isaiah walks 9/5 miles to school each day. But 9/5 is an improper fraction, so lets convert it to a mixed number.

9/5=

To solve for this, we have to find out how many times 5 can go into 9. 5 goes into 9 one time with a remainder of 4, so we can write the mixed number as.

9/5= 1 4/5

Isaiah walks 9/5miles or 1 4/5 miles. Both are correct.

In this question, it is important to understand the words of the problem and then note down the details already provided in the problem. This will make the solving of this problem easier.Now coming to the details already given.
Distance walked by Laura to reach school each day = 3/5 mile
Distance walked by Isaiah to reach school is 3 times that of Laura and it is already given in the question.
Then
The distance walked by Isaiah to reach school each day = (3/5) * 3
                                                                                           = 9/5
                                                                                           = 1 4/5
So Isaiah walks a distance of 1 4/5 miles each day for reaching school. I hope that the procedure of doing such problems is clear to you and yiou can attempt such problems in future without needing any help.

A dog runs 100 yards from one corner of a rectangular park to the opposite corner. If the length of the park is 28 yards, what i
kap26 [50]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  96 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonal through the park cuts the rectangle into two right triangles. The Pythagorean theorem tells you the relationship between the sides of a right triangle and its hypotenuse: the sum of the squares of the sides is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

The diagonal is the hypotenuse, so we have ...

  100² = 28² + w²

  w = √(10000 -784) = 96

The width of the park is 96 yards.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The integer side lengths of a right triangle form what is called a "Pythagorean triple." One of the most often seen of these is (3, 4, 5). Other commonly seen Pythagorean triples are (5, 12, 13), (7, 24, 25), (8, 15, 17).

You may notice that the numbers here are those of the (7, 24, 25) Pythagorean triple, multiplied by 4. If you recognize the given lengths as having the ratio 28:100 = 7:25, you have the clue you need to determine the answer simply from your knowledge of Pythagorean triples.

This question is asking what the value of g(5) is please answer and explain this cause don’t understand functions at all!!
frosja888 [35]
Short Answer: g(x) = -3x This is a teaching question. 
Remark

Define and describe f(x)
f(x) is read as y is dependent of x. The notation of f(x) with some exceptions is the same thing as y. What it stands for and what it can be used for is to tell you want value x can have if you want a  specific value for x. 

Suppose you are given 
y = x + 2

Then suppose there is another statement above it
Let x = 5
y = x + 2
y = 5 + 2
y = 7

Instead of writing the top statement
Let x = 5
You use the shorthand
f(5) = x + 2
f(5) = 5 + 2
f(5) = 7.

So what does all this come down to. It is just a short way of writing Let x = ?
f(?) is what x will equal. x will become ?. 

Your Question.
Remember that f(x) tells you what x becomes
f(5) means that x = 5.
Is that more than 4 or is that less than 4? It's a serious question. 
Of course 5 is greater than 4. So that means that g(x) = - 3x. You don't have to do anything. Just read it.
