What is the sum? 3k/k^2+k-7/4K

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

$\dfrac{k^2+5k}{4k^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

A suitable common denominator is 4k^2. (This eliminates the first and last choices.)

$\dfrac{3k}{k^2}+\dfrac{k-7}{4k}=\dfrac{4(3k)}{4(k^2)}+\dfrac{k(k-7)}{k(4k)}\\\\=\dfrac{12k+k^2-7k}{4k^2}=\boxed{\dfrac{k^2+5k}{4k^2}}$

0 km = 16

1km = 16 - 5,6 = 10,4

2km = 10,4 - 5,6 = 4,8

3km = 4,8 - 5,6 = -0,8

4km = -0,8 - 5,6 = -6,4

5km = -6,4 - 5,6 = -12

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:30km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Total distance=294km

Speed=s

Distance=d

Time=t

First drive:

t=5

d=s x t

d=s x 5

d=5s

Second drive:

t=4

Speed is 6km/h greater than the first speed

The new speed= s+6

d=4(s+6)

Total distance=294

5s + 4(s + 6)=294

5s + 4s + 24=294

Collect like terms

5s + 4s=294 - 24

9s=270

Divide both sides by 9

9s/9=270/9

s=30

First speed=30km/hr

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

The cellphone towers height is 1020 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is solved using proportions, by a rule of three.

A 10-ft post casts a 14-inch shadow.

Each feet has 12 inches, which means that a post with 10 feet will cast a 14/12 = 1.167 ft shadow. How tall is the cell-phone tower with a 119-feet shadow?

10 feet post - 1.167 ft shadow

x feet tower - 119 feet shadow

Applying cross multiplication:

$1.167x = 10*119$

$x = \frac{1190}{1.167}$

$x = 1020$

The cellphone towers height is 1020 ft.
