Answer:

The total time spent will be:

(t + 1/2)hrs + (2t + 1/4)hrs = (3t + 3/4)hrs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the time it takes to hike downhill be represented by t in hrs.

This implies that the time it takes to hike uphill will be 2t, as stated in the question.

Since, a 30-minute break, which is 1/2hrs, was taken to hike downhill, then the total time spent for hiking downhill will be (t + 1/2)hrs.

Also, since a 15-minute, which 1/4hrs, was taken to hike uphill, then the total time spent for hiking uphill will be (2t + 1/4)hrs.

Therefore, the total time spent will be:

(t + 1/2)hrs + (2t + 1/4)hrs = (3t + 3/4)hrs.

Can you divide the number 8,101,265,822,784 by 8 without using either long or short division?
LuckyWell [14K]
Yes. If we wanted to divide  104 by 8 we could write 104 as sum of multiples of 8 with which we are familiar:

104=80+24

then \frac{104}{8}= \frac{80+24}{8}= \frac{80}{8}+ \frac{24}{8}=10+3=13

We use the same procedure to divide the given number by 8:



First  We can "decompose" the number as a sum of multiples of 8 which we recognize easily. Then, divide each single one of them with 8.

That is 

 <span>8,101,265,822,784 = 8,000,000,000,000+100,000,000,000+1,000,000,000
</span>
+265,822,784

now decompose 265,822,784:

265,822,784=240,000,000+24,000,000+1,000,000+800,000+22,784

now decompose 22,784

22,784=16,000+6,784

decompose 6,784

6,784=6,400+384= 6,400+320+64


Thus:

 8,101,265,822,784 : 8 =(8,000,000,000,000+100,000,000,000+1,000,000,000+240,000,000
+24,000,000+1,000,000+800,000+16,000+6,400+320+64):8

=1,000,000,000,000+12,500,000,000+125,000,000+30,000,000+
3,000,000+125,000+100,000+2,000+800+40+8

=(1,000,000,000,000+12,500,000,000)+(125,000,000+30,000,000)
   + 3,227,848

=1,012,500,000,000+155,000,000+3,227,848

=1,012,655,000,000+3,227,848

=1,012,658,227,848

Answer: 45b^4/32

Step-by-step explanation: First multiply the two fractions

15b^3y(3b)/8y x 4

Multiply 3 by 15

45b^3yb/8y x 4

Raise b to power of 1

45(b^1b^3)y/8y x 4

Use power rule to combine exponents

45b^1+3 y/8y x 4

Simplify

45b^4y/32y

Cancel common factor of y

45b^4/32

Airida [17]
A Least Square Regression Line is the best thing to use for this because there is inconsistencies and no direct equation to be able to fill all of these points. They may be outliers and therefore we should use a calculator for a Regression Line to be calculated to find the residual.
