Answer: The team's win-loss record that year is 1.7

Step-by-step explanation:

During the 2017 Major League Baseball season the Cleveland Indians played 162 games.

Let x = the number of games that the

Cleveland Indians lost during the 2017 Major League Baseball season.

This means that the number of games that the Cleveland Indians won during the 2017 Major League Baseball season would be x + 42.

Total number of games played = sum of games won + sum of games lost. This is expressed as

162 = x + 42 + x

2x + 42 = 162

2x = 162-42 = 120

x = 120/2 = 60

Number of games that the Cleveland Indians lost during the 2017 Major League Baseball season is 60

The number of games that the Cleveland Indians won during the 2017 Major League Baseball season is 60 + 42 = 102

The team's win-loss record that year

would be wins/loses

= 102/60 = 1.7

Joe is hiking a trail that is 30 miles long. after several days, he is two times as far from the beginning of the trail as he is
lora16 [44]
In order to answer this question let's suppose,
Joe is x miles from the beginning and y miles from the end. These assumptions are necessary to answer further:

Now,
x=2y
x+y=30
plugging in x=2y in the above equation
2y+y=30
3y=30
y=10

Hence, according to our calculations, Joe has to hike 10 miles further

1 1/2 x ^ 3 * 8/15 * the power of 2
Mnenie [13.5K]

Your drawing was much more helpful and informative than your statements in words and symbols.

I see that you want to evaluate (3/2)^2 times (8/15)^2.

You could combine these two expressions into one, as follows:

3*8

( ----------- )^2

2*15

This, in turn, can be simplified by reduction:


( 4/5 )^2. Expanded, this result gives us 16/25.


Next problem

----------------------------

( 9/4 )^4 * ( 4/3 )^3

9^4 4^3

First, focus on ( ------- ) * ( ----------- )

4^4 3^3

Now reduce 4^3 / 4^4: The end result is 1/4.

Reduce 9^4 / 3^3. To do this, rewrite that 9 as (3^2), resulting in:

3^8 / 3^3. The end result is 3^5.

Putting this expression back together, we get 3^5 / 4 (answer)
