Answer:

E. 120

Step-by-step explanation:

A. 40

B. 72

C. 80

D. 100

E. 120

Let

x = the intended distance

y = length of the pool

She covers one fifth of her intended distance

Distance covered = 1/5 of x

= x/5

After swimming six more lengths of the pool she had covered one quarter of her intended distance

x/5 + 6y = 1/4 of x

x/5 + 6y = x/4

Collect like terms

6y = x/4 - x/5

6y = 5x - 4x/20

6y = x/20

x = 20 * 6y

= 120y

x = 120y

The intended distance Rebecca wants to cover = 120

Convert 123 cm to dam
kondaur [170]
123 centimeters into dekameters
0.123
10 centimeters = 1 decimeter
100 decimeters = 1 dekameter
Therefore, 100 centimeters = 10 decimeters = 0.1
23 centimeters = 2.3 decimeters = 0.023
0.1 + 0.023 = 0.123 dam

Answer: b, d

Step-by-step explanation:

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line y=8x+5
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

-1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular slopes are negative reciprocals

The slope of y=8x+5 is 8, because it is in slope intercept form: y=mx+b form, where m is the slope.

Negative:

8/1--> -8/1

Reciprocal:

Flip the numerator and denominator

-8/1--> -1/8

So, the perpendicular slope of 8 is -1/8
