Marissa dug three fifths of a hole in one tenth of an hour. Find the rate in holes per hour
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This might be easier to do in decimals. Let's try it.
3/5 = 0.6
1/10 = 0.1
rate = holes / hours
rate = 0.6/0.1
rate = 6 holes per hour
Try it with fractions.
rate = Invert and multiply the 1/10
rate = = 30/5 = 6
It's the same answer. Pick the method that you feel most comfortable with.

In quadrant II, will be negative. So
As long as your indexes are the same (which they are; they are all square roots) and you radicands are the same (which they are; they are all 11), then you can add or subtract. The rules for adding and subtracting radicals are more picky than multiplying or dividing. Just like adding fractions or combining like terms. Since all the square roots are the same we only have to worry about the numbers outside. In fact, it may help to factor out the sqrt 11: 
. The numbers subtract to give you -9. Therefore, the simplification is
