The answer x = 11 is correct for problem 4. Nice work.
Use this x value to find the answer in problem 5. From problem 4, we're told that Romeo runs at a speed of 5 m/s. If he runs for x = 11 seconds,then he runs a total distance of:
5*x =(5 m/s)*(x meters) = (5 m/s)*(11 seconds) = 5*11 = 55 meters
The answer to problem five is 55 meters
Answer: -9.1
Explanation
-3x +12.4=39.7
First minus 12.4 from both sides
-3x +12.4=39.7
-12.4 -12.4
-3x=27.3
Now devid both sides by -3
X= -9.1
<span>(x + 5 1/2) 0.75= 5/8<span>
Convert 0.75 into a fraction
</span></span><span>(x + 5 1/2) 3/4= 5/8
Use distributive property
3/4x + 5 1/2*3/4 = 5/8
Convert 5 1/2 into improper fraction
3/4x + 11/2*3/4 = 5/8
Multiply
3/4x + 33/8 = 5/8
Subtract 33/8 from both sides
3/4x = 5/8 - 33/8
Subtract the numerators but NOT the denominators
3/4x = -28/8
Divide 3/4 on both sides
x = -28/8 divided by 3/4
Convert the division sign to multiplication while flipping the fraction 3/4 to 4/3
x = -28/8 * 4/3
Multiply
Final Answer: x = -112/24 or -4 16/24 or -4 4/6 or -4 2/3 *All answers are equivalent to each other.</span>
Answer: 2.815 kilograms
======================================================
Work Shown:
1 layer = 0.5 kg
5 layers = 5*(0.5 kg) = 2.5 kg
icing = 15 g = 15/1000 = 0.015 kg
1 candle = 100 g = 100/1000 = 0.1 kg
3 candles = 3*(0.1 kg) = 0.3 kg
------------------------
The five layers combine to 2.5 kg. On top of that we have 0.015 kg of icing, and then finally the three candles add 0.3 kg more weight.
The total weight is therefore: 2.5+0.015+0.3 = 2.815 kilograms
