Luke : jack

3 2

We know like is 36

3*12 = 36, so we need to multiply by 12

Luke : jack

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation

Notice that Luke's real age is 12 times the number in the ratio, which is a simplified version of the original ratio, where they used division by 12 on both sides to get 3:2. Just do the opposite of division, which is multiplication, and multiply both sides of the ratio to get 36:24, which means that Jack is 24 years old!

Hope this helped you!

Jabes travelled 3406km in 8days. if he travelled the same distance every day, how many kilometers did he travel per day?

lisabon 2012 [21]

Jabes travels 425.75km per day.

Unit rate is the amount of a certain item related to a single unit of another item.

In the question, we are given that Jabes traveled 3406km in 8 days

We have to find the distances that Jabes travel per day which will be the unit rate of distance per day.

The total distance that jabes traveled in 8 days = 3406 km

Thus, the distance per day jabes traveled can be calculated as:

8 days ⇒3406 km

or, 1 day⇒ 3406/8days = 425.75km

Thus,jabes traveled 425.75 km per day, using the unit rate.

What are two expressions that are equivalent to 6(5j + 2 + j)?

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

1. 30j+12+6j

2. 36j+12

3. 6(6j+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You just multiply so... 6x5j ... 6x2 ... 6xj

2. you multiply and then simplify so first you have 30j+12+6j, so you add like terms so... 30j+6j= 36j and then +12

3. you do what's in the parentheses first so 5j+j=6j so .... 6(6j+2)

How do you simplify that question? For algebra 1.

motikmotik

$\left( \sqrt{x^{-3}} \right)^5 = \left( \sqrt{ \frac{1}{x^3} } \right)^5= \frac{1}{ (\sqrt{x^3})^5 } = \frac{1}{ \sqrt{x^{15}} } = \frac{1}{x^7 \sqrt{x} }$

Explanation for the last step:
$\sqrt{x^{15}}= \sqrt{x^{14}*x}= \sqrt{x^{14}}* \sqrt{x} =x^{ \frac{14}{2} }* \sqrt{x} =x^7 \sqrt{x}$
