Answer:

<u>Point C at (-18/7)</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Point A is at -6 and point B is at 2.

So, the distance between A and B = 2 - (-6) = 8

point C on the directed line segment from A to B on a number line such that the segment is partitioned in a ratio of 3:4.

Let the distance AC = x

∴ BC = 8 - x

AC : CB = 3 : 4

∴\frac{AC}{CB} =\frac{3}{4} = \frac{x}{8-x}

Using cross multiplication

3 (8-x) = 4x

24 - 3x = 4x

24 = 7x

x = 24/7

So, Point C = -6 + 24/7 = -18/7

Point C at (-18/7)

A kayaker traveled 4 5/6 miles during the first hour, and 1 1/3 miles more then the next hour. How far did he travel in 2 hours
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

11 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Distance traveled in first hour = 4 5/6 miles

Distance traveled in the next hour = 4 5/6 + 1 1/3

Therefore, the total distance traveled in 2 hours equals :

4 5/6 miles + (4 5/6 miles + 1 1/3 miles)

29/6 + 29/6 + 4/3

L. C. M of denominator = 6

(29 + 29 + 8) / 6

= 66 / 6 miles

= 11 miles

Distance traveled in 2 hours =. 11 miles

Which of these debts could possibly be forgiven under Chapter 7 bankruptcy? A. Credit Card Debt B. Child Support C. Alimony D. A
a_sh-v [17]
Chapter 7 - Bankruptcy is a very beneficial means for those facing severe financial uncertainty or debts. And even though it cannot remove all your liability, it can help you eliminate a number of arrears so you can begin working to reestablish your credit score. These are the debts which are not forgiven in Chapter 7: student loans, child support, alimony payments, majority of taxes you owe and secured or collateral debts.

So the answer is A. Credit Card. A credit card debt can be forgiven under chapter 7 because it is the main reason why people file for bankruptcy just to discharge their credit card balance.
