Answer:

8 2/35 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given distance traveled and the time required. We can use those directly in the relation that gives speed:

speed = distance / time

... = (18 4/5 miles)/(2 1/3 hours)

... = (94/5 miles)/(7/3 hours) . . . . . . converte mixed numbers to improper fractions

... = (94/5×3/7) miles/hour . . . . . . . "invert and multiply"

.. = 282/35 miles/hour . . . . . . . . . . improper fraction result

... = 8 2/35 miles/hour . . . . . . . . . . as a mixed number

What's the sum of 5 feet 9 inches in 12 ft and 3 in
galben [10]
First convert everything into inches.

1 foot = 12 in
5 feet = 5*12 = 60 in
12 feet = 12*12 = 144 in

Now add them together

60 + 9 + 144 + 3 = 216 in

or

18 feet

Hope this helps :)

Is there a greatest positive integer? If so, what is it? If not, why not?
balu736 [363]
No, there is no 'greatest integer'. That is because positive numbers can go up tp infinite, and we do not know where numbers stop. 

However, there is a negative greatest integer because the ones that's closes to zero is -1.

[50 pts] An even number, n, times the next consecutive number, n + 2, is equal to 168. Find the original number.
ale4655 [162]

<u>We are given:</u>

An even number 'n', multiplied by the next consecutive even number is 168

<u>Solving for n:</u>

From the given statement, we can say that:

n(n+2) = 168                      [<em>n multiplied by the next even number 'n+2'</em>]

n² + 2n = 168

n² + 2n - 168 = 0               [<em>subtracting 168 from both sides</em>]

We can see that we now have a quadratic equation, solving using splitting the middle term

n² + 14n - 12n - 168 = 0

n(n + 14) -12(n + 14) = 0      <em>[factoring out common terms</em>]

(n-12)(n+14) = 0

Here, we can divide both sides by either (n-12) OR (n+14)

Checking the result in both the cases:

(n + 14) = 0/(n-12)                     (n-12) = 0/(n+14)

n + 14 = 0                                 n - 12 = 0

n = -14                                      n = 12

Both these values are even and since we are not told if the number 'n' is positive or negative, both 12 and -14 are the possible values of n

Greta read a 900 pages book in 15 days, reading for 5 hours every day. How many pages did she read per hour
allsm [11]
First, let's find how many page's Greta read per day. She read a total of 900 pages across 15 days, so she read:

900 pages / 15 days = 60 pages/day

Now we can find how many pages she read per hour by dividing the 60 pages per day by 5 hours:

60 / 5 = 12 pages/hour

The answer is 12 pages.
