How so you divide????

1 answer:

6 0

To divide you are basically taking something and putting it into groups. For example, if you have 20 divided by 5, you can look at it like this.

20 apples and 5 baskets, you place one apple in each of the 5 baskets. Than you do this again until there is an even amount of apples in each basket and you don't have any outside the baskets.

So what if you have 24 apples and 5 baskets. You could do the same steps but your going to have a remainder of 4 apples because 4 apples wont fit into 5 baskets without you cutting them.

And also if you have say, 21 apples and 5 baskets you can go through the same steps but you can cut the remainder apple into 5 equal peaces to get 4.2.

The function y = x, called the "identity" or "ramp" function, is a basic function that you'll need to add to your math vocabulary. Since the " x " here seems to have no exponent, fix that by thinking "x^1," or "x to the first power," or "y=x is a linear function."

The graph of y=x always goes thru the origin. It begins in the 3rd quadrant and ends in the 1st, and appears as a straight line with slope of m = rise / run = 1/1 = 1.

(04.05) Evan spent 20 hours doing homework last week. This week he spent 25 hours doing homework. He says that he spent 125% mor

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Evan is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this answer, we can use the formula A=PxW

A=Part, P=Percentage, W=Whole

We can fill in the numbers we know and leave blank (with the variable) the numbers we want to find out

In this scenario, we want to find out if 25 is 125% of 29

So we can use this formula and do the equation like this:

A=1.25x20

This gets us to 25

So Evan is correct!

Hope this helps and please award brainliest if possible!

Two trains travel directly toward each other. One of the trains travels at a rate of 12 km/h while the other travels at a rate o

Schach [20]

Write the equation of the first train: x = 12t
Write the equation of the second train: y = -20t+72, assuming the train one is at the origins when t = 0.
Now solve the equation: 12t=-20t+72,
32t = 72, then t = 2.25 hours. The two train meet after 2.25 hours.
Now the equation of the pigeon is like this: x = 48t.
Then for t = 2.25, we get
$x=2.25\times48=108 km$

The Hyde has flown 108 km when the trains meet.
