You have to simplify diagonally them multiply Example:

3
5. 18. 15
__. / ___ =. ___ =
6. 2. 12
1

3/4

What is 1 and 1/6 minus 7/12 ?

Damm [24]

$1 \frac{1}{6} - \frac{7}{12} \\ 
 \\ 1 \frac{1}{6}= \frac{1x6+1}{6}= \frac{7}{6} \\ 
 \\ \frac{7x2}{6x2}= \frac{14}{12} \\ 
 \\ \frac{7x1}{12x1}= \frac{7}{12} \\ 
 \\ \frac{14}{12} - \frac{7}{12}= \frac{7}{12} \\ 
 \\ Solution: \frac{7}{12}

Tutorial Exercise A boat leaves a dock at 2:00 PM and travels due south at a speed of 20 km/h. Another boat has been heading due

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

Both the boats will closet together at 2:21:36 pm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that - At 2 pm boat 1 leaves dock and heads south and boat 2 heads east towards the dock. Assume the dock is at origin (0,0).

Speed of boat 1 is 20 km/h so the position of boat 1 at any time (0,-20t),

Formula : d=v*t

at 2 pm boat 2 was 15 km due west of the dock because it took the boat 1 hour to reach there at 15 km/h, so the position of boat 2 at that time was (-15,0)

the position of boat 2 is changing towards east, so the position of boat 2 at any time (-15+15t,0)

Formula : D= $\sqrt{(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2}$

⇒ $D = \sqrt{20^2t^2+15(t-1)^2}$

Now let $F(t) = D^2(t)$

∵ $F'(t) = 800t + 450(t-1) = 1250t -450\\F'(t) =0$

⇒ t= 450/1250

⇒ t= .36 hours

⇒ = 21 min 36 sec

Since F"(t)=0,

∴ This time gives us a minimum.

Thus, The two boats will closet together at 2:21:36 pm.

A dolphin can swim up to 40 miles per hour.what is the speed in feet per hour?

zalisa [80]

In this question, the speed of the dolphin is already given, but the unit is different. The speed of the dolphin is given as 40 miles per hour and it has to be converted to feet per hour.
We already know that 1 mile = 5280 feet
Then
40 mile = 5280 * 40 feet
= 211200 feet
So the speed in feet per hour will be 211200 feet per hour. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand. You can always use this method for solving similar problems without requiring any help from outside.
