Carlos jogged 5 laps around the school track in 8 minutes. What was his average speed in laps per minute? lap(s) per minute PLEA
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

To solve this problem, you would create two ratios and make them equal to each other, both representing laps:minute or laps/minute! With that being said, laps will be in the numerator, or on top, and minutes will be in the denominator, or the bottom! The first ratio, which we know from the problem, will be 5/8. In order to write the second ratio, we need to come up with something to put in place for what we're solving for. I like to use x. So, we need to find how many laps (x) are run in 1 minute. Remember, laps are on top and minutes are on the bottom. The second ratio would look like x/1. Then we make them equal to each other -> 5/8=x/1. You would then solve this equation by multiplying the right side of the equation by the reciprocal of the denominator! So, it would be 1/1(5/8)=x. Because then multiple the numerators and the denominators -> 1(5)=5 and 1(8)=8! This makes the equation turn into x=5/8! Because x equals the number of laps run in one minute, we can say that Ricky ran 5/8 of a lap in one minute or 0.625 laps in one minute!

Help me plz this is hard
cricket20 [7]

you first use distributive property for the multiplication

[(2*4x)-(2*11)]+9=19

8x-22+9=19

Then, you need to leave the variable alone moving all the other numbers with the opposite operation (addition to substraction, substraction to addition, multiplication to division, division to multiplication)

8x=19+22-9

8x=(19+22)-9

8x=41-9

8x=32

Then as 8 and x are multiplying you pass it dividing

x=32/8

x=4

If f(x) = 0.8(2 – x), what is the value of f(–2)?
Sergio039 [100]
With functions, you take the number that is in the ( ), so we have f(-2), and take the fomula f(x) = 0.8(2 – x) and everywhere you see an 'x' replace it with the -2 f(–2)=0.8(2 – (-2)) 

We will have to work with the expression of 0.8(2-(-2) When you want to evaluate these types of expressions, you want to use the Order of Operations: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction. First we have to evaluate the parentheses. What is 2-(-2)
 its 4.

ok now you got 0.8 (4)

 Now we have the remains of 0.8(4). If a number is within the parenthesis, then it means that we have to multiply the number inside with the number that is outside. What is 0.8*4 its 3.2 soooo your answer is going to be

3.2

A new car worth $20,000 loses 20% of its value every year. Is the value of the car represented by a linear or exponential functi
madreJ [45]
Exponential. 

One way to think about this, is to ask how much you will lose each year. The first year you're losing 20% of $20,000 ($4,000). The second year you're losing 20% of 16,000 ($3,200). The dollar value your car loses each year diminishes exponentially, so it is not a linear but an exponential function.
