<h3>Answer:  12 & 2/3 km per hour</h3>

In decimal form, this is approximately 12.667 km per hour.

As an improper fraction, 12 & 2/3 = 38/3

==================================================

Explanation:

Let's use this formula

a & b/c = (a*c+b)/c

to convert the given mixed number to an improper fraction.

3 & 1/6 = (3*6+1)/6

3 & 1/6 = 19/6

The mixed number 3 & 1/6 is the same as the improper fraction 19/6

The hamster runs 19/6 km in 1/4 of an hour.

We can express that as the ratio

19/6 km : 1/4 hr

Multiply both parts by 4 so that the "1/4 hr" turns into "1 hr"

19/6 km : 1/4 hr

4*19/6 km : 4*1/4 hr

76/6 km : 1 hr

38/3 km : 1 hr

Harvey runs 38/3 km in 1 hour

Let's convert that to a mixed number

38/3 leads to a decimal, but 36/3 leads to a whole number

So,

38/3 = (36+2)/3

38/3 = 36/3 + 2/3

38/3 = 12 + 2/3

38/3 = 12 & 2/3

You can use your calculator to note that 38/3 = 12.667 approximately, which is also the value of 12 & 2/3, since 2/3 = 0.667 approximately. This helps confirm we did the conversion correctly.

How many real solutions does this system of equations have? xy = 9<br> y = 3x - 1
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

two real, unequal roots

Step-by-step explanation:

y is definied as y = 3x - 1.  Substitute 3x - 1 for y in xy = 9, obtaining:

x(3x - 1) = 9.  Then:

3x^2 - x - 9 = 0.  In this quadratic, the coefficients are a = 3, b = -1 and c = -9.

Calculating the discriminant b^2 - 4ac, we get (-1)^2 - 4(3)(-9), or 1 + 108, or 109.  Because the discriminant is positive, we have two real, unequal roots.

Solve eight and two fourths minus three and one third
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

5 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewriting our equation with parts separated

=8+2/4−3−1/3

Solving the whole number parts

8−3=5

Solving the fraction parts

2/4−1/3=?

Find the LCD of 2/4 and 1/3 and rewrite to solve with the equivalent fractions.

LCD = 12

6/12−4/12=2/12

Reducing the fraction part, 2/12,

2/12=1/6

Combining the whole and fraction parts

5+1/6=5 1/6

What is the area of the polygon
Rina8888 [55]
The easiest way to do this is find the area of the large rectangle and subtract the two missing pieces. The length of the large rectangle is 24 and its height is 16. 24x16=384. The area is each of the two missing pieces is 2x2=4. Since there are two of them multiply by two 4x2=8. Then subtract eight from the first area calculated. 384-8=376 square meters

valentina_108 [34]

Answer: x= -3.25

Step-by-step explanation:

R=4x+6y   11=4x+6(4)     11=4x+ 24     11-24=4x   -13=4x  -13/4=x  x=-3.25

11=4(-3.25)+ 6(4)  11= -13+24
