The length of the route of a bicylist that has covered 5/7 of his route and an additional 40 miles and yet to cover 118 miles less than 0.75 of his route is 168 miles.
<h3>How to form equation and solve for the variable?</h3>
The bicyclist covered 5 / 7 of his route and an addditional 40 miles.
Let
x = distance of his route in miles
Hence,
distance covered = 5 / 7 x + 40
He has yet to cover 118 miles less than 0.75 of his route. Therefore,
distance not covered = 0.75x - 118
Distance of his route = 5 / 7 x + 40 + 0.75x - 118
x = 5 / 7 x + 40 + 0.75x - 118
x = 1.464x - 78
x - 1.464x = -78
-0.464x = -78
x = 78 / 0.464
x = 168.103448276
x = 168 miles

Are you talking about area ?
Answer:
- (b) Her scale model drawing will not fit on a piece of paper that is 8.5 inches by 7 inches because the dimensions are not proportional to the scale.
Explanation:
(a) What is the length of the garden in her model? Show your work, including your proportion
<u>1. Scale</u>:
- model length / real length = 1 inch / 2 feet
<u>2. Proportion</u>:
Naming x the model length:
- 1 inch / 2 feet = x / 6 feet
Cross multiply:
- 1 inch × 6 feet = 2 feet × x
Divide both sides by x:
- x = 1 inch × 6 feet / 2 feet = 3 inch.
Answer: 3 inches
(b) If the width is 5 inches for the scale model and the scale is still 1 inch to 2 feet, will her scale model drawing fit on a piece of paper that is 8.5 inches by 7 inches? Why or why not?
Both the width and the length must use the same scale, thus the corresponding sides of the scale model and the drawing must be proportional.
In the model the ratio of the length to the width is 3 inch / 5 inch
In the paper the ratio of the length to the width is 8.5 inch / 7 inch
Hence, you can see that in the model the length (mumerator of the fraction) is less than the width (denominator) while in the paper it is the opposite. Bieng the two ratios different, they are not proportional, and you conclude that her scale model drawing will not fit on a piece of paper that is 8.5 inches by 7 inches.
Answer:
x+2y=0
Step-by-step explanation:
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-(-2)=-1/2(x-4)
y+2=-1/2x+4/2
y+2=-1/2x+2
y-(-1/2x)=2-2
y+1/2x=0
1/2x+y=0
2(1/2x+y)=2(0)
x+2y=0
1/4 = 2/8. Remember that. This means that 1/8 is equal to half of a month. It there is 5/8, you can add a half month for every eights. In this case, it will take 2 and a half months
Easy Way:<span>If your hair were to grow 1/4 inches a month, it would also grow 2/8 inches a month, since 1/4 = 2/8. How long with it take 1/8 (0.5/4)inches to grow? It would take a half of a month for your hair to grow 1/8 inches.
</span><span>Now that we know 1/8 inches grows in a half of a month, we add a half of a month for every eigths. Since we are trying to figure out how long it would take for it to grow 5/8 inches, we add 5 half months to get the answer of 2 and a half months. Kind of confusing, but that is the best way I can describe it.</span>
