To find the rate in miles per hour, divide the miles by the hours.
(1 1/2 miles)/(3/5 hour) =
= 3/2 miles * (5/3 hour)
= 5/2 mph
= 2 1/2 mph
Her walking rate is 2 1/2 mph.
(4 1/2 miles) / ( 2 1/2 mph) =
= 9/2 miles / (5/2 mph)
= 9/2 * 2/5 hours
= 9/5 hours
= 1 4/5 hours
From 9:00 a.m. to 11 a.m., she has 2 hours, but she only needs 1 4/5 hours to walk, so she will make it to work on time.

How many types of progression in mathematics?<br><br>

barxatty [35]

There are three different type

Explain

In math , there are three different type , they are arithmetic progression ( Ap) , Geometric progression and Harmonic

Arithmetic Progression - When a fix constant is added to each number except the first number.

For example : 2,4,6,8,10..... Here 2 is added each time to get the next number.

2. Geometric Progression - When a fix constant is multiplied to each number except the first number.

For example : 2,6,18,54.... Here 3 is multiplies each time to get first number.

3. Harmonic - a harmonic progression (or harmonic sequence) is a progression formed by taking the reciprocals of an arithmetic progression.

For example : 1/2 , 1/4 , 1/6, 1/8 ....

Ashley uses 1/4 package of raisin for a fruit cake. She then uses 1/9 of the remainder for muffins. What fraction of the package

Flura [38]

$\text {Fruit cake = } \dfrac{1}{4}$

$\text {Raisin left = } 1 - \dfrac{1}{4} = \dfrac{4}{4} - \dfrac{1}{4} = \dfrac{3}{4}$

$\text {Muffins = } \dfrac{1}{9} \times \dfrac{3}{4} = \dfrac{3}{36} = \dfrac{1}{12}$

$\text {Raisin left = } \dfrac{3}{4} - \dfrac{1}{12} =\dfrac{9}{12} - \dfrac{1}{12} = \dfrac{8}{12} -= \dfrac{2}{3}$

Answer: She has 2/3 of the package left.
