Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x = smaller number, y = bigger number

7x + 2y = 635

7y - 2x = 871....rearrange...-2x + 7y = 871

7x + 2y = 635....multiply by 2

-2x + 7y = 871...multiply by 7

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

14x + 4y = 1270 (result of multiplying by 2)

-14x + 49y = 6097 (result of multiplying by 7)

--------------------------------add

53y = 7367

y = 7367/53

y = 139

7x + 2y = 635

7x + 2(139) = 635

7x + 278 = 635

7x = 635 - 278

7x = 357

x = 357/7

x = 51

solution : x = 51 and y = 139 or (51,139)

Convert 32 kilometers per hour to miles per day. (3.28 feet 1 meter)
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

477.09 mi/da

Step-by-step explanation:

If student must use conversion given, 3.28ft = 1m, then the following works:

32km/hr = ______mi/da       1 day = 24 hrs, 1m=3.28ft, 1km=1000m,1mi=5280ft

32km/hr  x  24hr/day  x  1000m/1km  x  3.28ft/1m  x  1mi/5280ft  = 477.09mi/da

If student can use 1km = 0.62mi, some steps can be skipped.

Please help me with this geometry problem
Natalka [10]
You're looking for the volume of the prism.  The dead giveaway there is that you're looking for "cubic" measurement.  Cubic measures are indicators that the volume is being determined, just like "square feet" or inches, etc indicates area is being determined.  The volume for this prism is found by multiplying the length times the width times the height.  In decimal form, 45×30×40=54,000.  But that is in cubic inches and we want cubic feet.  So we will use dimensional analysis to convert that.  Setting up the DA looks like this, keeping in mind that there are 12 cubic inches in 1 cubic foot:  54,000in^3* \frac{1ft*1ft*1ft}{12in*12in*12in}.  The label of cubic inches cancels out leaving us with cubic feet, and doing the division there gives us 54,000/(12*12*12) which is 31.25 cubic feet.
