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

blondinia [14]
P is (18, -16)

to find the answer, u would solve it in reverse order of the midpoint formula by first doing the x-values:

5(2)= 10-(-8) = 18

and then the same to y-values:

-10(2)= (-20)-(-4) = -16

to get:

(18, -16)

The area of a square ice rink is 400 yd.². What is the perimeter of the rink in yards
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

80 yd^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the formula for squares is s^2, we can use this to set up an equation, which is

s^2=400

If we square root this, we get

s=20

The perimeter formula for a square is 4s, so if we plug in, we end up with 80 yd^2

Solve whether the equation have 1 solution no solution or infinity solution
babymother [125]
Steps to solving equations:
Simplify/combine the like terms
Isolate the variable (Get the variable on one side
Solve for the variable

-2y - 7 + 5y = 13 - 2y Simplify/Combine terms
3y -7 = 13 - 2y Isolate variable by adding 2y to both sides
5y - 7 = 13 Add 7 to both sides to get y alone on one side
5y = 20 Divide by 5 on both sides to solve for y
y = 4
You can check your answer by replacing y with 4 in the original equation.
