You have to use distributive property then you combine like terms
Jean's car :
(12 1/2) / (5/12) =
(25/2) / (5/12) =
25/2 * 12/5 =
150/5 =
30 miles per gallon
Miranda's car :
(20 5/7) / (5/7) =
(145/7) / (5/7) =
145/7 * 7/5 =
145/5 =
29 miles per gallon
most fuel efficient is Jean's car....it gets 30 miles per gallon
40/3 days, (13.33 days)
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up the equation, 15/20 = 10/x, and then use cross mutiply to solve it.
10 * 20 = 15x, x = 200/15 = 40/3
Why?
b/c if each pig eats the same amount of food, then the ratio between the number of pigs and days should remain constant.
Answer:
area = 779.4 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
divide it into 6 equal equilateral triangles. Each corner of a triangle will be 60°.
tan 60° = 15/x
1.7321 = 15/x
x = 8.66 (this is one-half of the base of the triangle)
base = 17.32 cm
area of one triangle = 1/2(17.32)(15) = 129.9 cm²
129.9(6) = 779.4 cm² (because 6 triangles make up the hexagon)
