Answer: The answer is two
Step-by-step explanation: If you look for opposites of a number its either negative or positive. So when the answer is negative, the opposite is positive and if the answer is positive, the opposite is negative.
Let the distance of the first part of the race be x, and that of the second part, 15 - x, then
x/8 + (15 - x)/20 = 1.125
5x + 2(15 - x) = 40 x 1.125
5x + 30 - 2x = 45
3x = 45 - 30 = 15
x = 15/3 = 5
Therefore, the distance of the first part of the race is 5 miles and the time is 5/8 = 0.625 hours or 37.5 minutes
The distance of the second part of the race is 15 - 5 = 10 miles and the time is 1.125 - 0.625 = 0.5 hours or 30 minutes.
898 mm because 8.98 is a lot smaller, it's only in the ones place.
<span>To convert a percentage to a decimal you move the decimal two places to the left. Therefore:
15.% becomes .15
You then multiply this decimal to the number you are trying to find the percentage of.
.15 × 60 = 9.
9 is 15% of 60.
