Find the unit rate. 5/8 mile in 1/4 hour

1 answer:

5 0

Answer

The unit rate in miles per hour is 2.5 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 x 4 = 1 hour
5/8 x 4 = miles that would have been covered in one hour
20/8 of a mile would have been covered in one hour
20/8 = 2.5
2.5 miles would have been covered in an hour, with which his speed was 2.5 mph.

let's multiply both sides in each equation by the LCD of all fractions in it, thus doing away with the denominator.

$\begin{cases} \cfrac{1}{2}x+\cfrac{1}{3}y&=7\\\\ \cfrac{1}{4}x+\cfrac{2}{3}y&=6 \end{cases}\implies \begin{cases} \stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{6}}{6\left( \cfrac{1}{2}x+\cfrac{1}{3}y \right)=6(7)}\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{12}}{12\left( \cfrac{1}{4}x+\cfrac{2}{3}y\right)=12(6)} \end{cases}\implies \begin{cases} 3x+2y=42\\ 3x+8y=72 \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{using elimination}}{ \begin{array}{llll} 3x+2y=42&\times -1\implies &\begin{matrix} -3x \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~-2y=&-42\\ 3x+8y-72 &&~~\begin{matrix} 3x \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~+8y=&72\\ \cline{3-4}\\ &&~\hfill 6y=&30 \end{array}} \\\\\\ y=\cfrac{30}{6}\implies \blacktriangleright y=5 \blacktriangleleft \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{substituting \underline{y} on the 1st equation}~\hfill }{3x+2(5)=42\implies 3x+10=42}\implies 3x=32 \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{32}{3}\implies \blacktriangleright x=10\frac{2}{3} \blacktriangleleft \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill \left(10\frac{2}{3}~~,~~5 \right)~\hfill$

Find the y intercept. I already found the slope is 9.

jeka57 [31]

The slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

We have the slope m = 9, therefore: y = 9x + b.

Next. We have the table:

x | -5 | -2 | 1 | 3 | 4 |

y |-46|-19| 8 |26|35|

(1, 8) → x = 1, y = 8

substitute the values of x and y to the equation:

8 = 9(1) + b

8 = 9 + b |-9

b = -1

Answer: y = 9x - 1 → y-intercept is -1.
