(5/6) x = -1/6 (multiply times 6/5)

x = -1/5

The answer is A. -1/5 because if you multiply by the reciprocal its -6/30 which simplifies to -1/5.

Two canoes travel down a river, starting at 9:00 a.M. One canoe travels twice as fast as the other. After 4.5 hours, the canoes

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

$v_1=3.33 \ miles/hour\\v_2=6.66 \ miles/hour$

Step-by-step explanation:

Constant Speed Motion

When the object travels the same distances in the same period of time, the speed is constant and is can be calculated as

$\displaystyle v=\frac{x}{t}$

where x is the distance and t is the time

There are two canoes traveling at speeds v1 and v2. One of them has twice the speed as the other. Let's say

$v_2=2v_1$

When t hours have passed, the canoes have traveled x1 and x2 respectively.

$x_1=v_1t$

$x_2=v_2t$

Since

$v_2=2v_1$

Then

$x_2=2v_1t$

The distance between them is

$X=x_2-x_1=2v_1t-v_1t$

$X=v_1t$

That distance is known and equals 11.25 miles, thus

$v_1t=15$

Solving for v1 and using t=4.5 hours

$\displaystyle v_1=\frac{15}{4.5}$

$v_1=3.33 \ miles/hour$

$v_2=2\times 3.33$

$\boxed{v_2=6.66 \ miles/hour}$

Shaneya purchased a membership to play basketball at her local gym. The membership costs $450 for the year, plus she pays $10 to

olga55 [171]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So start with the total 1,000

then take the 1,000 and minus it by the 450 year so then you can see how much money you have left for the times that she can go to the gym to play.

1,000 - 450 = 550

Now you 550 dollars because basic math. Then you divide the number you got which the number you got was 550 so 550÷10 you divide it by 10 because the rent is 10 each time.

550 ÷ 10 = 55

Now you get 55 so that means she can got to the gym 55 times before she goes over 1,000 dollars!

Hoped this helped. Don't forget a middle school person did this so I bet you could have too!

pls help will give brainliest Rena used the steps below to evaluate the expression (StartFraction (x Superscript negative 3 Base

kaheart [24]

Answer:

First "order of operations" mistake: step 2

First arithmetic mistake: step 4

Step-by-step explanation:

As we understand Rena's work, she wants to simplify ...

$\left(\dfrac{x^{-3}y^{-2}}{2x^4y^{-4}}\right)^{-3}$

for x = -1 and y = 2.

Her work seems to be ...

Step 1

$\text{Substitute $x=-1$ and $y=2$ into the expression}\\\\\left(\dfrac{(-1)^{-3}2^{-2}}{2(-1)^42^{-4}}\right)^{-3}\qquad\text{no error}$

Step 2

$\text{Simplify the parentheses}\\\\\left(\dfrac{2^4}{2(-1)^4(-1)^32^2}\right)^{-3}=\left(\dfrac{2^2}{2(-1)^7}\right)^{-3}\qquad\text{order of operations error}$

Step 3

$\text{Evaluate the power to a power}\\\\\dfrac{2^{-6}}{2^{-3}(-1)^{21}}\qquad\text{no error}$

Step 4

$\text{Use reciprocals and find the value}\\\\\dfrac{1}{2^32^6(-1)^{21}}=\dfrac{1}{8\cdot 64\cdot (-1)}=\dfrac{-1}{512}\qquad\text{error: $2^3$ is used instead of $2^{-3}$}$

_____

So, the first arithmetic error is in Step 4. However, the order of operations requires exponents be evaluated first. Doing that makes step 2 look like ...

$\left(\dfrac{-\dfrac{1}{4}}{2(1)\dfrac{1}{16}}\right)^{-3}=(-2)^{-3}\qquad\text{proper Step 2}$

We expect your answer is supposed to be Step 4.

HELP PLEASE!!!!

kumpel [21]

Answer:

The rational numbers are $\frac{11}{3}, 6.25, 0.01045,\sqrt{\frac{16}{81}},0.\bar{42}$ and the irrational functions are $\sqrt{48},\sqrt{\frac{3}{16}}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational number can be expressed in the form of $\frac{p}{q}$ , where p and q are integers and q is not equal to 0. For example $2,3.5,\frac{2}{5},...$ .

An irrational function can not be expressed in the form of $\frac{p}{q}$ , where p and q are integers and q is not equal to 0. For example $\sqrt{2},\sqrt{3},\sqrt{5},...$ .
