Trevor paints 1/6 of the fence surrounding his farm each day. How many days will it take him to paint 3/4 of the fence?

1 answer:

8 0

To do this you have to divide 3/4 by 1/6. To do this multiply 3/4 by the reciprocal of 1/6. The reciprocal of 1/6 is 6/1. So you have to multiply 3/4 and 6/1. This will give you 18/4. You now simplify it to 4 2/4, which can be simplified even more to 4 1/2. It will take Trevor 4 1/2 days to paint 3/4 of the fence.
BTW- In case you are wondering how long it'll would take him to paint the entire fence, it would be 6 days.

Reuben bought 5CDS that were each the same priceIncluding sales tax, he paid a total of \$81.50. Each CD had a tax of $0.60. wha

Liula [17]

Answer:

The price of each CD before tax is $15.70

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of CDs bought by Reuben = 5

Cost of five CDs = $81.50

Sales tax on each CD = $0.60

Sales tax on 5 CDs = 0.60*5 = $3.00

Price of CDs without tax = 81.50 - 3.00 = $78.50

Price of each CD = $\frac{Cost\ of\ CDs}{No.\ of\ CDs}$

Price of each CD = $\frac{78.50}{5}$

Price of each CD = $15.70

Hence,

The price of each CD before sales tax is $15.70

Which is the dependent variable when 3x = y?

Andrej [43]

Answer:

A dependent variable is a variable (often denoted by y ) whose value depends on that of another. so it is the variable that changes depending on the numbers beside it.

A runner runs around a circular track. He completes one lap at a time of t = 269 s at a constant speed of v = 4.6 m/s. What is t

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{197 m}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula relating distance (d), speed (s), and time (t) is

d = st

1. Calculate the distance

d = 269 s × 4.6 m·s⁻¹ = 1240 m

2.Calculate the track radius

The distance travelled is the circumference of a circle

$\begin{array}{rcl}C & = & 2 \pi r\\1240 & = & 2 \pi r\\\\r & = & \dfrac{1240}{2 \pi }\\\\& = & 197\\\end{array}\\\text{The radius of the track is }\boxed{\textbf{197 m}}$
