Answer:

Length of race = 1.2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of race is given by the perimeter of triangle.

Refer the given figure.

The first leg is 3/10 mi, the second leg is 1/2 mi, and the third leg is 2/5 mi.

\texttt{Perimeter =}\frac{3}{10}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{2}{5}=\frac{3}{10}+\frac{5}{10}+\frac{4}{10}=\frac{3+5+4}{10}\\\\\texttt{Perimeter =}\frac{12}{10}=1.2 miles

Length of race = 1.2 miles

Answer:

1 1/5 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to add the three legs together

3/10 + 1/2 + 2/5

The common denominator is 10

3/10  =3/10

1/2 *5/5 = 5/10

2/5 *2/2 =4/10

3/10 + 5/10+4/10 = 12/10

10/10 = 10/10+2/10 = 1+2/10  = 1 1/5 mi

The cost of a unit is made up of $6.25 material cost, $4.75 labour cost, and $3.25 overhead. What is the ratio that exists betwe
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

The ratio that exist between this three elements are 25 : 19 : 13.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio compares one thing to another. Ratios indicate the comparison of the size of a number to another . One trick about ratio is that you can multiply or divide the ratios by same number. For example the ratio of boy to girls can be represented as 3 : 4. If you multiply the ratios by 2 you will get the ratio 6 : 8 and it still represent the same ratios of boys to girls. Ratios can be written as a fraction for example 3/4 for our example.

The cost of the unit is made up of $6.25 , $4.75 and $3.25.

$6.25  $4.75  $3.25 . Let us multiply by 100 to remove the decimals.

625 : 475 : 325 . Now let simplify the ratios by dividing through by 25.

625/25 : 475/25 : 325/25 . The simplest ratios can be written as follows

The ratios are 25 : 19 : 13.

Factorize x²+7x+12 ===> (x+3)(x+4)

Factorize x²-3x-28 ===> (x-7)(x+4)

4x + 12 can be written====> 4(x+3)

Then the question could be written as follows:

 [(x+3)(x+4) / (x-7)(x+4) ] / 4(x+3) = [(x+3)(x+4) / (x-7)(x+4) ].[4(x+30]
After simplification you get 1 / 4(x-7)
