5/4 • 200/1, 1000/4
which is 250
250 is 1 1/4 of 200
Answer: The person's speed is 8 miles per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve we want to convert the
and
proportionally for the number of miles per hour. We know that multiplying a fraction by its reciprocal will equal 1. So let's do that for the value of the hour.
×
Since we multiplied that to the number of hours we must also do that for the number of miles.

Answer:
5 yr and 39 yr
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the age of the younger
then 7x + 4 = the age of the older
Now x + 7x + 4 = 44
8x + 4 = 44
8x = 40
x = 5
7x + 4 = 7(5) + 4 = 35 + 4 = 39
Check: 5 + 39 = 44

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Equation of a Line</u>
We can find the equation of a line by using two sets of data. It can be a pair of ordered pairs, or the slope and a point, or the slope and the y-intercept, or many other combinations of appropriate data.
We are given a line

And are required to find a line perpendicular to that line. Let's find the slope of the given line. Solving for y

The coefficient of the x is the slope

The slope of the perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of m, thus

We know the second line passes through (2,3). That is enough information to find the second equation:


Operating

Simplifying

That is the equation in slope-intercept form. Intercept: y=4
