The value of x is 5/8.
<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:
Given,
- The lines PQ and RS are parallel to each other.
- slope of PQ= x-1/4
- slope of RS = 3/8
The slopes of parallel lines are equal.
slope of PQ = slope of RS
⇒ x-1/4 = 3/8
⇒ (4x-1)/4 = 3/8
⇒ 8(4x-1) = 4(3)
⇒ 32x-8 = 12
⇒ 32x = 20
x = 20/32
x = 5/8
When two variables have a positive linear correlation, the dependent variable increases as the independent variable increases. So when the independent variable decreases, the dependent variable decreases as well. Both variables decrease and increase simultaneously.
Answer:
54 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
lets work in steps here:
1 in (24 miles) + 1 in (24 miles) = 2 in OR 48 miles
PLUS
**0.25 in (6 miles)
= 48+6 miles = 54 miles
** you know that 0.25=6 miles because 24/6 is 4. 100/4 is 0.25. simple division.
500 thousandths is equal to five tenths. Thus, we have a five in the tenths place and an eight in the hundredths place, so we have .58 as our answer.
