It would have to be 3 because distance can't be a negative number.
Answer:
5:3
Step-by-step explanation:
to find the scale factor you set up the proportion as 15/9 and reduce to 5/3
Answer:
6 6/7 km/h
Step-by-step explanation:
The relations between speed, time, and distance are ...
time = distance/speed
speed = distance/time
__
So, to find the average speed, we need to know the total distance and the total time. The distances are given, but we need to compute the times.
time jogging = (2 km)/(8 km/h) = 1/4 h
time walking = (2 km)/(6 km/h) = 1/3 h
Then the woman's average speed is ...
average speed = (total distance)/(total time) = (2 km + 2 km)/(1/4 h + 1/3 h)
= (4 km)/(7/12 h) = 48/7 km/h
= 6 6/7 km/h
X(m+n) = p
x = p/(m+n)
Hope this helps!
Well, there are different ways to do this if you are really familiar with fractions, but "officially" :P
1) convert mixed numbers to improper fractions.
rule: a b/c = (ac+b)/c
2) make all fractions have a common denominator...
a/b+c/d
(a/b)(d/d)+(c/d)(b/b)
(ad/bd)+(cb/bd)
3)
The simplify your final answer with greatest common denominator or convert back to mixed number if needed...
