The new 12 mile hiking trail is 150% of the length of the original trial. How long was the original trial?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Tamiku [17]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

<h2>The answer is 8 miles</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original trail be x

From the question 150% of the trail is

12 mile

That's

150% of x = 12

So we have

\frac{150}{100} x = 12 \\  \\  \frac{3}{2} x = 12

Multiply through by 2

That's

2 \times  \frac{3}{2} x = 12 \times 2

We have

3x = 24

Divide both sides by 3

We have the final answer as

x = 8

Therefore the length of the original trail is

<h3>8 miles</h3>

Hope this helps you

jason runs 440 yards in 75 seconds.At this rate how many minutes does it take him to run a mile? (1 mile = 1,760 yards)​
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer: 5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 1760 yards are in a mile. We can convert the given info into a proportion. 440/75 = 1760/x, where x is the number of seconds it takes to run a mile. Cross-multiply to get 440x = 75*1760. Divide both sides by 440 to get x = 75*4 = 300 seconds. The problem asks for how many minutes so you have to convert 300 seconds to minutes. To do this, we have to divide 300 by 60 to get 5 minutes.

Find and simplify each of the following for
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

(A) f(x + h) = 4x² + 8xh + 4h² - 6x - 6h + 6

(B) f(x + h) - f(x) = 8xh + 4h² - 6h

(C) \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}=8x+4h-6

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- The function f(x) = 4x² - 6x + 6

- To find f(x + h) substitute x in the function by (x + h)

∵ f(x) = 4x² - 6x + 6

∴ f(x + h) = 4(x + h)² - 6(x + h) + 6

- Lets simplify 4(x + h)²

∵ (x + h)² = (x)(x) + 2(x)(h) + (h)(h) = x² + 2xh + h²

∴ 4(x + h)² = 4(x² + 2xh + h²) = 4x² + 8xh + 4h²

- Lets simplify 6(x + h)

∵ 6(x + h) = 6(x) + 6(h)

∴ 6(x + h) = 6x + 6h

∴ f(x + h) = 4x² + 8xh + 4h² - (6x + 6h) + 6

- Remember (-)(+) = (-)

∴ f(x + h) = 4x² + 8xh + 4h² - 6x - 6h + 6

* (A) f(x + h) = 4x² + 8xh + 4h² - 6x - 6h + 6

- Lets find f(x + h) - f(x)

∵ f(x + h) = 4x² + 8xh + 4h² - 6x - 6h + 6

∵ f(x) = 4x² - 6x + 6

∴ f(x + h) - f(x) = 4x² + 8xh + 4h² - 6x - 6h + 6 - (4x² - 6x + 6)

- Remember (-)(-) = (+)

∴ f(x + h) - f(x) = 4x² + 8xh + 4h² - 6x - 6h + 6 - 4x² + 6x - 6

- Simplify by adding the like terms

∴ f(x + h) - f(x) = (4x² - 4x²) + 8xh + 4h² + (- 6x + 6x) - 6h + (6 - 6)

∴ f(x + h) - f(x) = 8xh + 4h² - 6h

* (B) f(x + h) - f(x) = 8xh + 4h² - 6h

- Lets find \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}

∵ f(x + h) - f(x) = 8xh + 4h² - 6h

∴ \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}=\frac{8xh + 4h^{2}-6h}{h}

- Simplify by separate the three terms

∴ \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}=\frac{8xh}{h}+\frac{4h^{2} }{h}-\frac{6h}{h}

∴ \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}=8x+4h-6

* (C) \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}=8x+4h-6
