Answer: 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The free throw average is 75%, wich means that from 100 attempted free throws, they make 75.

To solve the problem you can use a simple rule of three:

If for every 100 attempted free throws the knicks make 75 free throws, then how many attempts did they do if they made 12 free throws?

$\frac{100 attempts}{75 throws} =\frac{x}{12throws} \\x=\frac{12*100}{75} \\x=16$

Then, if the knicks made 12 throws last night, that means they made 16 attempted throws.

75% is 3/4

So if 12 = 3/4, then 1/4 = 4

Therefore, they attempted 16 free throws ✌

The sets E and A are given below.

xxTIMURxx [149]

Intersection of E and A: E n A = { 8 }

Union of E and A : E U A = { -2, 3, 0, 6 , 8 }

Solution:

The sets E and A are given below:

E = { -2, 3, 8 }

A = { 0, 6 , 8 }

Find the intersection of E and A

Intersection of E and A means that, set containing all elements of E that also belong to A

Therefore,

From sets E and A,

E n A = { 8 }

Find the union of E and A

union of E and A contains all elements of set E and set A

E U A = { -2, 3, 0, 6 , 8 }

Nina can ride her bike 63,360 feet in 3,400 seconds, and Sophia can ride her bike 10 miles in 1 hour. What is Nina’s rate in mil

luda_lava [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

So first off we want to find out how many miles Nina can ride in 3,600

For this we have to convert 63,360 feet into miles

If there are 5,280 feet in one mile than we need to see how many times 5,280 goes in to 63,360

divide 63,360 by 5,280: you get 12

This means that she can bike 12 miles in 3,600 seconds

3,600 seconds is the same as an hour

Answer:

Nina can bike 12 miles per hour

Which of the following is the solution to the inequality below?

irakobra [83]

Answer:1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the greater than sign from both sides of the inequality :

3/2*(x-1/3)-(-5*x)>0

Step by step solution :

STEP

Simplify —

Equation at the end of step

3 1

(— • (x - —)) - -5x > 0

2 3

STEP

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction

2.1 Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 3 as the denominator :

x x • 3

x = — = —————

1 3

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

2.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

x • 3 - (1) 3x - 1

——————————— = ——————

3 3

Equation at the end of step

3 (3x - 1)

(— • ————————) - -5x > 0

STEP

Simplify —

Equation at the end of step

3 (3x - 1)

(— • ————————) - -5x > 0

STEP

Equation at the end of step

(3x - 1)

———————— - -5x > 0

STEP

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

5.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 2 as the denominator :

-5x -5x • 2

-5x = ——— = ———————

1 2

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

5.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions

(3x-1) - (-5x • 2) 13x - 1

—————————————————— = ———————

2 2

The equation at the end of step

13x - 1

——————— > 0

STEP

6.1 Multiply both sides by 2

6.2 Divide both sides by 13

x-(1/13) > 0

Solve Basic Inequality :

6.3 Add 1/13 to both sides

x > 1/13
