<span>Rate=1/time<span>
N=1/4 and J= 1/7
TotalN+J= \1/4 + 1/7 = 11/28

Then:
Time = 1/rate = 1/(11/28) = 28/11 hours = 2 6/11 hours= about 2.545 hours. </span></span>

What is the solution to the proportion?<br> 5/x = 2/16
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

I believe the answer is X=40

Step-by-step explanation:

cross multiply 5*16 = X * 2

Multiply 5*16

80= X*2

Add '-2x' to each side of the equation

80 + -2x = 2x + -2x

Combine like terms

80 + -2x = 0

Add '-80' to each side of the equation.

80 + -80 + -2x = 0 + -80

Combine like terms: 80 + -80 = 0

0 + -2x = 0 + -80

-2x = 0 + -80

Combine like terms: 0 + -80 = -80

-2x = -80

Divide each side by '-2'.

x = 40

Simplifying

x = 40

Hope this helped :)

Lashonda purchased a prepaid phone card for $20. Long distance calls cost 8 cents a minute using this card. Lashonda used her ca
Gre4nikov [31]

We know that

• Lashonda purchased a prepaid phone card for $20.

,

• Long-distance calls cost 8 cents a minute.

,

• The remaining credit on her card is $17.12.

This problem can be expressed as

20-0.08x=17.12

Where <em>x</em> is the number of minutes.

We solve the equation for <em>x</em>

\begin{gathered} -0.08x=17.12-20 \\ -0.08x=-2.88 \end{gathered}

Then, we divide by -0.08 the equation

\begin{gathered} \frac{-0.08x}{-0.08}=\frac{-2.88}{-0.08} \\ x=36 \end{gathered}<h2>Therefore, Lashonda's call last 36 minutes.</h2>

PLZZ HELP! WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!
joja [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Neptune is about 2,700,000,000 miles from Earth.

Mercury is about 135,000,000 miles from Earth.

A number is written in scientific notation when a number between 1 and 10 is multiplied by a power of 10. The power is the number of decimal places you move.

1) 2,700,000,000 = 2.7 x 10^{9}

      135,000,000  = 1.35 x 10^{8}

2)

        \frac{Neptune}{Mercury} = \frac{2.7*10^{9} }{1.35*10^{8}}

You can see there is only one extra 0 on top, the rest will cancel so you have:

\frac{27}{1.35}  = 20

It's 20x farther to Neptune from Earth, than it is to Mercury from Earth.
