If 15 is 3/8 of x(our number we are trying to find), the we can set up the equation:
15 = x * 3/8
15 * 8 = x * 3 (multiplied both sides by 8)
120 = 3x
120 / 3 = x (divided both sides by 3)
40 = x 

Therefore, 15 is 3/8 of 40.

The speed of sound in air on a certain stormy day is about 1130 feet per second. You see a flash of lightning striking some dist
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

distance = 1.5 miles(approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

speed of sound = 1130 ft/s        

1 ft = 0.3048            

1130 ft/s = 0.3048 × 1130 m/s      

              = 344.424 m/s          

time = 7 second                

distance = speed × time                

distance = 344.424 × 7              

distance = 2410.968 m                    

1 m = 0.0006214 miles                    

2410.968 m =  (0.0006214 ×  2410.968) miles    

distance = 1.498 miles                        

distance = 1.5 miles(approx.)

Solve the rational inequality x-2/x + x+2/x+3 < 3/2 represent your answer using a number line and using interval notation
Firdavs [7]

Answer and explanation:

To solve the inequality x-2/x + x+2/x+3 < 3/2 we have to first simplify the expressions on the left side of the inequality sign. And so we multiply x by the expressions on the left side to eliminate fractions:

=x(x-2/x)+x(x+2/x)+x(3)< 3/2

=x-2+x+2+3x < 3/2

=5x < 3/2

x < 3/2/5

x < 3/2×5/1

x < 15/2

x < 7 1/2 or 7. 5
