Answer:

volume = 562.5 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

5 cm represents 2 parts of the ratio

Divide by 2 to find the value of one part of the ratio

\frac{5}{2} = 2.5 cm ← 1 part of the ratio

3 parts = 3 × 2.5 = 7.5 cm

6 parts = 6 × 2.5 = 15 cm

Dimensions are length = 15 cm, width = 7.5 cm, height = 5 cm

V = length × width × height = 15 × 7.5 × 5 = 562.5 cm³

Answer:

562.5

Step-by-step explanation:

What do you have to multiply 2 by to get 5?

2*x = 5            Divide by 2

2x/2 = 5/2      Do the division

x = 2.5

That means that the every member of the ratio has to be multiplied by 2.5

6*2.5 = 15

3*2.5 = 7.5

2*2.5 = 5

So the volume = L * W * H

Volume = 15 * 7.5 * 5

Volume = 562.5

A tortoise and a hare are competing in a 2000-meter race. The arrogant hare decides to let the tortoise have a 550-meter head st
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

a) distance covered by hare d1 = 8t

b) distance covered by tortoise d2 = 5t + 550

c) ∆d = 550 - 3t

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Speed of hare u = 8m/s

Speed of tortoise v = 5 m/s

Initial distance of tortoise d0 = 550 m

a) using the equation of motion;

distance covered = speed × time + initial distance

d = vt + d0

For hare;

d0 = 0

Substituting the values;

d1 = 8t + 0

d1 = 8t

b)using the equation of motion;

distance covered = speed × time + initial distance

d2 = vt + d0

For tortoise;

d0 = 550m

Substituting the values;

d2 = 5t + 550

d2 = 5t + 550 m

c) the number of meters the tortoise is ahead of the hare.

∆d = distance covered by tortoise - distance covered by hare

∆d = d2 - d1

Substituting the values;

∆d = (5t + 550) - 8t

∆d = 550 - 3t

How would I solve n/5-3n/10=1/5<br><br>pls help me I am literally failing math.
otez555 [7]

Answer:

53/5

Step-by-step explanation:

since 10 is the denominator of the denominator we can move it to the numerator, giving us 10n/5-3n = 1/5

multiply all sides by 5-3n, giving us 10n = (5-3n)/5

now multiply by 5 to get rid of the final denomintor, 50n = 5-3n

move 3n to the other side 53n = 5, n = 53/5

Factor 4n^2 - 5n -6​
Allushta [10]

Answer:

(n-2) • (4n+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

4n2-5n-6  

Final result :

 (n - 2) • (4n + 3)

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

 (22n2 -  5n) -  6

Step  2  :

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

2.1     Factoring  4n2-5n-6  

The first term is,  4n2  its coefficient is  4 .

The middle term is,  -5n  its coefficient is  -5 .

The last term, "the constant", is  -6  

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   4 • -6 = -24  

Step-2 : Find two factors of  -24  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   -5 .

     -24    +    1    =    -23  

     -12    +    2    =    -10  

     -8    +    3    =    -5    That's it

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above,  -8  and  3  

                    4n2 - 8n + 3n - 6

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :

                   4n • (n-2)

             Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :

                   3 • (n-2)

Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :

                   (4n+3)  •  (n-2)

            Which is the desired factorization

Final result :

 (n - 2) • (4n + 3)
