Dividing a whole number and an improper fraction seems tricky, but it just has one or two more steps than the normal process. First, convert the whole number "9" into a fraction by giving it a denominator of "1". It should look like 9/1. Now that both numbers are converted into like formats (improper fractions), you should have 9/1 divided by 5/3.
Second, flip 5/3 over into 3/5 - this is the "reciprocal". Now you have 9/1 divided by 3/5. It's just a matter of multiplying across the math sentence. Multiply the numerators (9x3) and the denominators (1 x 5). Your new fraction should be 27/5. This is your answer in the improper fraction format.
You can create other formats depending on the expected answer. For a mixed number, "divide your fraction UP" (27 divided by 5) which gives you 5 and 2/5. This can be further converted into 5.4 if you need your answer in decimal form.
I'm sure it's only 15 miles :)
Hope that helps
Answer:
The first option is not a direct variation
Step-by-step explanation:
When we talk of a direct variation, as one value increases, the other value increases too
Or as one value decreases, the other value decreases
A direct variation is of the form;
y = kx
k = y/x
where k is the coefficient of variation that must be a constant value all through the set of values
The values we are comparing here are the x and y values
So
let us take a look at the options;
The first option is not a direct variation
For the first option, the rate of increase is not constant;
2/6 = 1/3 , 8/12 = 2/3 , 14/18 = 7/9
for the second;
the ratio is 1 to 1
for the third;
3/6 = 1/2 ; 6/12 = 1/2; 9/18 = 1/2
for the fourth;
2/6 = 1/3, 4/12 = 1/3 , 6/18 = 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
55 > 4u + 15
40 > 4u
10 > u
so, this is true for all u < 10
