Plug in what we know:
Find the cube root of both sides:
![\sf~a=\sqrt[3]{2744}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csf~a%3D%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B2744%7D)
Simplify:
Answer: 40
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of correct questions Sally got = 28 questions
Percentage of correct questions answered= 70% on the exam,
Total number of questions in the exam = Unknown
Let the total questions in the exam be represented as y.
Since Sally got 70% correctly, this will be:
70% of y = 28
70/100 × y = 28
0.7 × y = 28
0.7y = 28
Divide both side by 0.7
0.7y/0.7 = 28/0.7
y = 40
There are 40 questions in the exam.
Answer:
I don't really understand what the question you are asking is, is there a question that goes along with this?
Given
Brian's house: (-7, 9)
Sue's house: (-7, -2)
Find
The number of units between Brian's house and Sue's house.
Solution
Both Brian and Sue live on the "street" x=-7, so the distance between their houses is the distance between -2 on that street and +9 on that street. We always consider distance to be positive, so it doesn't matter whether we start at Brian's house and go -11 units to Sue's house, or start at Sue's house and go +11 units to Brian's house. Either way, we travel 11 units.
_____
"Displacement" is another matter. That has a sign associated with it and there is always a reference direction that is positive. Movement in the opposite direction results in a negative displacement. "Distance" is always positive.
