Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

Turn 5 and 1/2 into a full fraction by multiplying the denominator (2) and whole number (5). And add that to the number you already have in the numerator (1).

2x5=10

10+1=11

11/2

When dividing fractions, follow the "keep, change, flip" rule:

Keep the dividend (11/2) the same, change the division sign to a multiplication sign, and flip the divisor (1/2). The equation is now

11/2 x 2/1

Cross-simplify the 2's:

11/1 x 1/1

= 11

A train leaves the station at time = 0. Traveling at a constant speed, the train travels 330 kilometers in 3 hours. Answers part
amid [387]

Answer:

The function that relates the distance traveled d to the time t is

f(t) = 110t, where d = f(t)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we were told that the train is At a constant speed, the train travels 330 kilometers in 3 hours

We were told to write function that relates the distance traveled d to the time t, we can do this by writing a linear equation with those functions

Since we are told that the train travels 330 kilometers in 3 hours, then we can say the train travel (330/3) kilometers in 1 hour which means it travel 110 kilometers in 1 hour

Then d= 110t---------------eqn(1)

If if t = 0, then d = 0, as well since at t=0 the train is at the station

At t = 1 then d = 110.

From equation (1) d can be replaced by f(t) then we have

f(t) = 110t----------------eqn(2)

Now we replace d by f (t), because d = f t):

f(t) = 120t

Therefore, The function that relates the distance traveled d to the time is f(t) = 120t

The length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is 24. If the length of one leg is 8, what is approximate length of the other l
Verdich [7]

Something that a right triangle is characterised by is the fact that we may use Pythagoras' theorem to find the length of any one of its sides, given that we know the length of the other two sides. Here, we know the length of the hypotenuse and one other side, therefor we can easily use the theorem to solve for the remaining side.

Now, Pythagoras' Theorem is defined as follows:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2, where c is the length of the hypotenuse and a and b are the lengths of the other two sides.

Given that we know that c = 24 and a = 8, we can find b by substituting c and a into the formula we defined above:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

24^2 = 8^2 + b^2 (Substitute c = 24 and a = 8)

b^2 = 24^2 - 8^2 (Subtract 8^2 from both sides)

b = √(24^2 - 8^2) (Take the square root of both sides)

b = √512 (Evaluate 24^2 - 8^2)

b = 16√2 (Simplify √512)

= 22.627 (to three decimal places)

I wasn't sure about whether by 'approximate length' you meant for the length to be rounded to a certain number of decimal places or whether you were meant to do more of an estimate based on your knowledge of surds and powers. If you need any more clarification however don't hesitate to comment below.
