Answer:

x = 6/7 of a puzzle

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of puzzle : time taken

= 3/4 : 7/8

How much a puzzle can she complete in an hour?

Let

x = number of puzzle to complete

Number of puzzle : time taken

= x : 1

Equate both ratios to solve for x

3/4 : 7/8 = x : 1

3/4 ÷ 7/8 = x / 1

3/4 × 8/7 = x / 1

24/28 = x / 1

Cross product

24 * 1 = 28 * x

24 = 28x

x = 24/28

= 6/7

x = 6/7 of a puzzle

The sum of two numbers is 6, their difference is 4, find the two numbers. What is their product?

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

The two numbers are 5 and 1. Their product is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 6 (*)

x - y = 4 (**)

Let (*) + (**)

--> (x+y) + (x-y) = 6 + 4

<=> 2x = 10 <=> x = 5

Substitute x= 5

(*) <=> 5 + y = 6

<=> y=1

Answer: (x,y) = (5,1)

Their product: x.y = 5x1 = 5

Find the distance between the two points in simplest radical form.<br> (-1,9) and (4, -3)

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

GIVEN BY POINTS :-

( -1, 9) , ( 4 , -3)

Here ,

$\bullet \: \: x _{1} = - 1 \\ \bullet \: \: x _{2} = 4 \\ \bullet \: \: y _{1} = 9 \\ \bullet \: \: y _{2} = - 3 \\$

Using Distance formula :

$= > \sf d = \sqrt{( {x _{2} - x _{1}) }^{2} + {( {y _{2} - y _{1}) }^{2} } } \\ \\ = > \sf d = \sqrt{ ({ 4 + 1)}^{2} + { ( - 3 - 9)}^{2} } \\ \\ = > \sf d = \sqrt{ {5}^{2} + {( - 12)}^{2} } \\ \\ = > \sf d = \sqrt{25 + 144} \\ \\ = > \sf d = \sqrt{169} \\ \\ = > \boxed{ \sf{ d = 13\:units }}\\$
