Answer: He run 7 high-speed intervals and 8 low-speed intervals.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Number of high-speed intervals.

y= Number of low-speed intervals .

He runs high-speed intervals in 16 seconds, and low-speed intervals in 23 seconds, and he runs a combined total of 15 intervals in 4 minutes and 56 seconds.

4 min 56 sec = (4(60)+56) sec = 296  sec   [ 1 minute = 60 seconds]

According to the question , we have the following linear equations :

x+y=15\ ...(i)\\\\ 16x+23y=296\ ...(ii)

Multiply (i)by 16 , we get

16x+16y=240\ ...(iii)

Subtract (iii) from (ii)

7y=56\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=8

Put value of y in (i) , we get

x+8=15\Rightarrow\ x=7

Hence, he run 7 high-speed intervals and 8 low-speed intervals.

Solve the equation. <br> 5/6 x-4 = -2
lora16 [44]

Answer:

2 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

5/6 x-4 = -2

Add 4 to each side

5/6 x-4+4 = -2+4

5/6 x = 2

Multiply by 6/5 to isolate x

6/5 *5/6 x = 6/5 *2

x = 12/5

Changing this from an improper fraction

5 goes into 12   2 times with 2 left over

x = 2  2/5

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line shown on the graph?
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

The slope of the perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal. This means you change the sign of the slope to its opposite: in this case to 3. Then find the reciprocal by switching the denominator and numerator to get 1/3; therefore the slope of the perpendicular line is 1/3.

Answer:

\mathrm{C.\:}25

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice how each congruent square is divided into four equal parts. Since each square has four parts and there are four squares, there are 16 of these parts in total. Because each of these parts make up \frac{1}{4} of each square, all parts are equal. Therefore, you can count the total number of shaded parts to get your percentage.

The top left and bottom right both have one part shaded each for a total of 2 parts.

The top right and bottom left have 0.5 and 1.5 parts shaded, respectively, for a total of 2 parts.

Therefore, in total, there are 2+2=4 parts shaded out of 16 total parts.

Thus, the percentage of the total area that is shaded is:

\frac{4}{16}=\frac{1}{4}=\fbox{$25\%$}.
