Question, I that the Algebra nation book????
Solution:
<u>Note that:</u>
- Area of triangle = 6 3/8 yd²
- Height of triangle = 2 1/2
- Area of triangle = 1/2 x base x altitude
<u>Use the formula to find the base of the triangle.</u>
- 1/2 x base x altitude = 6 3/8 yd²
- => 1/2 x base x 2 1/2 = 6 3/8 yd²
- => 1/2 x base x 5/2 = 6 3/8 yd²
- => 5/4 x base = 6 3/8 yd²
- => base = 6 3/8 ÷ 5/4 yd
- => base = 51/8 x 4/5 yd
- => base = 51/2 x 1/5 yd
- => base = 51/10 yd
The length of the base is 51/10 yards.
Answer: 260 downloads of the standard version were there.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of downloads of the standard version.
Let y represent the number of downloads of the high-quality version.
Yesterday, the high-quality version downloaded four times as often as the standard version. It means that
y = 4x
The size of the standard version is 2.9 megabytes (MB). the size of the high-quality version is 4.6 MB. the total size downloaded for the two versions was 5538 MB. It means that
2.9x + 4.6y = 5538- - - - - - - - - - - -1
Substituting y = 4x into equation 1, it becomes
2.9x + 4.6 × 4x = 5538
2.9x + 18.4x = 5538
21.3x = 5538
x = 5538/21.3
x = 260
Answer: The answer in the blank is 2/5.
Step-by-step explanation: To divide fractions, flip the second fraction's denominator and nominator and then change the sign to a multiplication sign. Multiply. 4/5 x 3/1 = 12/5. Make 12/5 a mixed number. Since 12 can hold 2 fives, the people who created this question placed a 2 before the blank. 2/5 is remaining, so the blank is 2/5.
Hello there!
For this you simply need to give both fractions a common denominator!
The easiest way to do this specific problem would be to make the denominator 12. Why 12? Because 4 x 3 = 12.
So:
1/4 --> ?/12 --> 1 (3) / 12 --> 3/12
2/3 --> ?/12 --> 2 (4) / 12 --> 8/12
Total amount of time means the sum (adding them together).
When adding fractions, you MUST have a common denominator! (Which is what we just did).
So 3/12 + 8/12 = (8+3) / 12 = 11/12 hours
Notice how the denominator stayed the same? When adding/subtracting fractions, the denominator stays the same! :)
Hope this helped!
