Answer:

151.43 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use ratios to solve

1.75m 265m

--------------- = -----------

1 m x meters

Using cross products

1.75x = 265*1

Divide each side by 1.75

1.75x/1.75 = 265/1.75

x =151.4285714

151.43 meters

Answer:

151.429m

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a proportion problem.

1.75m/1m = 265m/ Xm

1.75m= 265m/ Xm

Xm = 265m/1.75m = 151.429m

Answer:

(B) $\frac{-3}{x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

A polynomial is the expression which consists of addition, subtraction, multiplication with any variables or constants but the division with a variable is not considered as a polynomial.

Since $\frac{-3}{x}$ consists of division of -3 with a variable, therefore it is not a polynomial, rest all other options are polynomial as they involve addition,multiplication with variables.

A bat and a ball cost one dollar and ten cents in total. The bat costs a dollar more than the ball. How much does the ball cost?

Aleks04 [339]

Set up an algebraic equation: b=cost of ball
1.10=1+b+b
1.10=1+2b
subtract 1 from both sides
.10=2b
divide by 2 on both sides
ball=5 cents
