James is running on a trail that is 5/4 of a mile long. So far he has run 2/3 of the trail. How many miles has he run so far?

Answer: \dfrac{5}{6}\text{ of a mile}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The length of the trial = \dfrac{5}{4}\text{ mile}

If John has run \dfrac{2}{3} of the trail.

Then, the total miles he has run will be :-

\dfrac{2}{3}\times\dfrac{5}{4}=\dfrac{5}{6}\text{ miles}

Therfore, John has run  \dfrac{5}{6}\text{ of a mile}.

Step 1) You would need to convert your 2 fractions into equivalent numbers. In this case, the closet gcf (greatest common factor) is 12. So, 5/4 would convert to 15/12 and  2/3 converts to 8/12.

Step 2) You know have your decimals that are equivalent. All you have left now is to subtract. Take 15/12 and subtract 8/12 from it. You would now get 7/12 of a mile that is still needed to run. 

Step 3) Usually, you would simplify your new fraction. In this case, our fraction doesn't simplify. It will stay 7/12 of a mile. For example, If our number had ended up being 4/12, then we would simplify it to 1/3 of a mile. Because, 4 divided by 4 is 1 and 12 divided by 4 is 3. You can't simplify your answer anymore.

Hope this helped!

What is negative 3 minus x equals negative 10
OlgaM077 [116]
In order to solve this equation, let's write it out in number form:

-3 - x = -10

In order to isolate 'x' we need to ensure that there is only 'x' on one side. We can get rid of the -3 by adding 3 to both sides:
-3 + 3 - x = -10 +3
-x = -7

Because there are negatives on both sides, you can simply cancel them out:

x = 7

Here are some values of sequence Q. Write a recursive definition for the sequence.
Rashid [163]

Answer: Q(n) = Q(n - 1) + 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 3 values of the sequence Q(n)

These values are:

Q(1) = 3

Q(3) = 8

Q(7) = 18

I would think that this is a geometric sequence.

Remember that the equation for the n-th term of a geometric sequence is:

A(n) = A(1)*r^(n-1)

where r is a constant, and A(1) is the first term of the sequence.

If we rewrite the terms that we know of Q(n) in this way we get:

Q(3) = Q(1)*r^(3 - 1) = 3*r^2 = 8

Q(7) = Q(1)*r^(7 - 1) = 3*r^6 = 18

Then we have two equations:

3*r^2 = 8

3*r^6 = 18

We should see if r is the same for both equations:

in the first one we get:

r^2 = 8/3

r = (8/3)^(1/2) = 1.63

and in the other equation we get:

r^6 = 18/3

r = (18/3)^(1/6) = 1.34

Then this is not a geometric sequence.

Now let's see if this is an arithmetic sequence.

The n-th term of an arithmetic sequence is written as:

A(n) = A(1) + (n - 1)*d

where d is a constant.

If we write the terms of Q(n) that we know in this way we get:

Q(3) = Q(1) + (3 - 1)*d = 3 + 2*d = 8

Q(7) = Q(1) + (7 - 1)*d = 3 + 6*d = 18

We need to see if d is the same value for both equations.

in the first one we get:

3 + 2*d = 8

2*d = 8 - 3 = 5

d = 5/2 = 2.5

In the second equation we get:

3 + 6*d = 18

6*d = 18 - 3 = 15

d = 15/6 = 2.5

d is the same for both terms, then this is an arithmetic sequence.

An arithmetic sequence is a sequence where the difference between any two consecutive terms is always the same value (d)

Then the recursive relation is written as:

A(n) = A(n - 1) + d

Then the recursive relation for Q is:

Q(n) = Q(n - 1) + 2.5
