Answer:
3/16
Step-by-step explanation:
1. you convert 1/4 into 16ths and you get 4/16
2. 4/16 - 1/16= 3/16
Answer:
x=4 y=6
Step-by-step explanation:
Write and solve an equation of ratios:
x 9
---- = ----
16 x
Cross mult., we get x^2 = (16)(9)
Taking the sqrt of both sides, we get x = plus or minus (4)(3), or
x= plus or minus 12
Since x is measure of distance here, omit the -12 result. x = +12 units
<span>Sales went from 48 pairs to 60 pairs:
total change = 60 - 48 = 12
percentage change = 12 / 48 = 0.25 = 0.25*100% = 25%
Answer: 25%</span>
Let Jack's speed be x. Bob's is then x + 4.
Jacks time for the 1000 km is 1000/x.
Bob's is 1000/(x+4) + 1/2 (the 1/2 being the 30 minutes he was delayed).
They tied so their times were equal. 1000/x = 1000/(x+4) + 1/2.
We multiply by x(x+4) and get 1000(x+4) = 1000x + x(x+4)/2.
Simplifying, we get x^2 + 4x - 8000 = 0. x = [- 4 + √(16 +32000)]/2 = √8004 -2, Jack's speed.
Bob's will be √8004 +2.
This seems way too fast! But I don't see any mistake<span>
