Answer:
True answer: -24
Step-by-step explanation:
<em><u>Showing the error</u></em>
-16-2(-2) – 12 First you need to multiply
8(-2) - 12 The error here is that the wrong numbers are multiplied together
-16-12 Add the negatives together
-28 Your answer (the incorrect one)
<em><u /></em>
<em><u>The correct way of solving it</u></em>
-16 -2(-2) - 12 Multiply into the parenthesis
-16 + 4 -12 Add the first two numbers
-12 - 12 Add the numbers together
-24 The answer
(40 min)/(5 mi) = (time)/(7 mi) . . . . . the rates are the same
(7/5)*(40 min) = time = 56 min
At the same rate, it would take Petra 56 minutes to jog 7 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
The way to find missing numbers in equivalent ratios is to multiply the means (the first denominator and the second numerator) and multiply the extremes (the first numerator and the second denominator). It sounds really complicated, but it is quite simple =)
2/5 = x/10
The means in this equivalent ration are 5 and x. The extremes are 2 and 10.
5x = 20
Now solve =)
x = 4
That was pretty simple. Let's move on to the next one. Do exactly the same thing here:
4/10 = 6/x
60 = 4x
15 = x
That was pretty simple, too! Keep going!
6/15 = x/25
15x = 150
x = 10
All of these should be equal, so check them by dividing:
2/5 = 0.4
4/10 = 0.4
6/15 = 0.4
10/25 = 0.4
They all check out, so these are your answers: 2/5, 4/10, 6/15, 10/25
I really hope this helps you =)
10(2x)+x
21x is the original number
12x is the reversed number
24x is the reversed then doubled number
Set up an equation:
24x=21x+9
3x=9
x=3
The original number is 63 and the reversed number is 36, which then is 72 when doubled.
A, it is has 6 sides so it equals 6/6 each individual side is 1/6
