9514 1404 393

Answer:

  13.8654599313 and -0.8654599313

Step-by-step explanation:

If one of the numbers is x, then the other is 13-x, and their product is ...

  x(13 -x) = -12

  x^2 -13x = 12 . . . . multiply by -1 and simplify

  x^2 -13x +6.5^2 = 12 +6.5^2 . . . . complete the square

  (x -6.5)^2 = 54.25

  x -6.5 = √54.25

  x = 6.5 +√54.25 ≈ 13.8654599313

and the other number is ...

  13 -x = 13 -13.8654599313 = -0.8654599313

The two numbers are 13.8654599313 and -0.8654599313.

Rudik [331]
The whole numbers add up to 100. So now we are left with 1/2 or 0.5, 3/5 or .60, and 1/8 or .125. Those add up to 1.225 so the amount of sand in pounds in the wheelbarrow is 101.225. Hope I helped! If you have any questions just leave a comment.

It takes a turtle 3 ¼ hours to walk 1 ½ miles. How many hours does it take to walk one mile?
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

It will take 6/13 hours to walk one mile

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the number of hours it take to walk one mile

From the question, 1 1/2 miles take 3 1/4 hours

the number of hours it will take to walk 1 mile will be;

1 1/2 divided by 3 1/4

= 3/2 divided by 13/4

= 3/2 * 4/13 = 6/13 hours

Yesterday I ran 9.6 miles at an average speed of 0.4 miles per 5 minutes. How long did it take me to run the 96 miles?​
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is how we do it in college, I hope I can be of some help.

First, you multiple 9.6 miles with 5 minutes. Then, you divide your answer with 0.4 miles. Next, you cancel the two mile units because of division and then be left with 120 minutes.

9.6 miles x <u>    5 minutes   </u> = <u>  48 miles x minute </u> = 120 minutes

                      0.4 miles          0.4 miles
