Since 3 out of 8 are cranberry, the fraction is 3/8. In order to convert it, you divide the top number by the bottom, and you get 0.375. In order to get the percent, you would multiply it by 100, and you get 37.5 %
The answer is 37.5%
Answer:
D, infinitely many solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
1. multiply out
5(x-3) = 5x-15
2. combine like terms
5x-15-3x=8x-15-6x = 2x-15=2x-15
they are equal so there are infinite solutions.
Answer:
x = - 4, 0, 3, 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
f(x) = - 5x(x² - 16)(x - 3) ← x² - 16 is a difference of squares, thus
f(x) = - 5x(x - 4)(x + 4)(x - 3)
To find the zeros, equate f(x) to zero, that is
- 5x(x - 4)(x + 4)(x - 3) = 0
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
- 5x = 0 ⇒ x = 0
x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4
x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - 4
x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3
Thus the zeros are
x = - 4, x = 0, x = 3, x = 4
Answer:
22 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Against the current, the boat's rate of travel is ...
(120 mi)/(6 h) = 20 mi/h
With the current, the boat's rate of travel is ...
(120 mi)/(5 h) = 24 mi/h
___
The sum of boat speed (b) and current speed (c) is 24 mph. The difference is 20 mph. This lets us write the equations ...
b + c = 24
b - c = 20
Adding these two equations together, we get ...
2b + 0c = 44
b = 22 . . . . . . . . divide by 2
The rate of the boat in still water is 22 miles per hour.
