<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.

Alina [70]

The previous population was 14000.

Explanation

The population decreased by 35% since the last measurement. So the current population is less than the previous population.

current population=9100

previous population =x

current population is 35% less than the previous population x

9100=x*(100-35)/100\\9100=(x*65)/100\\x=(100*9100)/65=14000

The previous population was 14000.

Romashka [77]
We let c represent the number of dozen cupcakes in which the problem says that the cost of each cupcake is $8 per dozen. In this case, the money earned by Eva should be a function of the number of dozen cupcakes. In this case, the expression that represents this is  A. f(c) = c × 8

Find the domain and the range of the relation. Determine whether the relation is a function.
andre [41]

Answer:

Domain: {-6, -1, 7}

Range: {-9, 0, 9}

The relation is not a function.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the relation: t{(−1,0),(7,0),(−1,9),(−6,−9)}

In the ordered pairs:

  • The domain is the set of all "x" values
  • The range is set of all "y" values
  • We do not need to list any repeated value in the range/domain more than once.

Domain: {-6, -1, 7}

Range: {-9, 0, 9}

Next, we determine whether the relation is a function.

For a relation to be a function, each x must correspond with only one y value.

However, as is observed in the mapping attached below:

  • f(-1)=0
  • f(-1)=9

The x-value (-1) corresponds to two y-values (0 and 9)

Therefore, the relation is not a function.
