\frac{5}{200} = \frac{7}{x} \\ 5x = 1400 \\ x = 280

therefore, the actual distance is 280 miles. 

(sorry, idk the rule for it)

Use a proportion (5/200 = 7/x) so you would multiply 7 and 200 and divide that answer that by 5 and that's your answer (280 miles)

Element X decays radioactively with a half life of 9 minutes. If there are 890 grams of Element X, how long, to the nearest tent
elena-s [515]

Answer:

13.18651685

13.9

Explain:

890-238=652
652/890=0.7325842697 (Find out the percentage)

We know that 1 gram of Element X will be fully decayed in 18 minutes and half of it in 9 minutes.

0.7325842697x18=13.18651685

As you see 18/13.18651685 will equal to 18 (not exactly since it is rounded)

And of course we need to round it to nearest tenth. So the answer would be 13.9!

Solving a word problem using a quadratic equation with rationa...
choli [55]

Answer:

length : 8 m

width : 13/2 = 6.5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

area of rectangle = l(ength)×w(idth) = 52

l = 2w - 5

=> (2w - 5)×w = 52

=> 2w² -5w - 52 = 0

we know, when transforming this quadratic equation into a multiplication of two expressions of w, that we need to have 2w and w (to make 2w²), and then which 2 numbers multiply to 52 and add to -5 (when one is multiplied by 2 due to 2w) : -13 and 4

=> (2w - 13)×(w + 4) = 0

=> 2 solutions for w :

2w-13 = 0

2w = 13, w = 13/2

w+4 = 0, w = -4

negative values for a side length of a shape do not make sense, so the only usable solution is w = 13/2

=> l = 2w - 5 = 13 - 5 = 8
