1/6 of an hour is equivalent to 10/60 or 10 minutes.
To find out how much 3/4 of an hour is, change the denominator of both fraction so that they match up. We can make this easier by multiplying 4 by 15 to get 60 (hence an hour) and since we multiplied 4 by 15, we also need to multiply 3 by 15 which gets us 45.
We end up with 10/60 and 45/60 or 10 minutes and 45 minutes.
Half of 10 is 5 so we know we'll have a decimal of .5 in our answer.
4 times 10 equals 40 and 40 plus 5 equals 45, so 4.5.
Answer:
y=4-0.5x
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one:
given data
Alina bought an ice cream cone for $3
the weight of the ice cream is 4 ounce
the rate of melting is 0.5 ounce per minute
let the number of minutes taken for the ice cream to melt be x
and the weight after x minutes be y
Step two:
Hence the expression for the situation after x minutes is
y=4-0.5x
Answer:
t = 139/490 + sqrt(75671)/490 or t = 139/490 - sqrt(75671)/490
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for t:
4.9 t^2 - 2.78 t - 1.15 = 0
4.9 t^2 - 2.78 t - 1.15 = (49 t^2)/10 - (139 t)/50 - 23/20:
(49 t^2)/10 - (139 t)/50 - 23/20 = 0
Multiply both sides by 10/49:
t^2 - (139 t)/245 - 23/98 = 0
Add 23/98 to both sides:
t^2 - (139 t)/245 = 23/98
Add 19321/240100 to both sides:
t^2 - (139 t)/245 + 19321/240100 = 75671/240100
Write the left hand side as a square:
(t - 139/490)^2 = 75671/240100
Take the square root of both sides:
t - 139/490 = sqrt(75671)/490 or t - 139/490 = -sqrt(75671)/490
Add 139/490 to both sides:
t = 139/490 + sqrt(75671)/490 or t - 139/490 = -sqrt(75671)/490
Add 139/490 to both sides:
Answer: t = 139/490 + sqrt(75671)/490 or t = 139/490 - sqrt(75671)/490
