<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.

The answer is 1 + √2

sqrt(2) is \sqrt{2}
sqrt(3 + 2 sqrt 2) is \sqrt{3 +2 \sqrt{2} }
Now, let's simplify \sqrt{3 +2 \sqrt{2} }.
We will use square of sum: (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²

\sqrt{3 +2 \sqrt{2} } = \sqrt{1+2+2 \sqrt{2} }= \sqrt{1+2 \sqrt{2}+2 }= \\ &#10;= \sqrt{1^{2} +2*1* \sqrt{2} + (\sqrt{2} ) ^{2} } = \sqrt{(1+ \sqrt{2}) ^{2}} =1+ \sqrt{2}

Solve for x. −6&gt;−30−4x−6&gt;−30-4x enter the inequality in the first box.
Bogdan [553]
If you would like to solve -6 > -30 - 4x for x, you can do this using the following steps:

-6 > -30 - 4x
4x > -30 + 6
4x > -24      /4
x > -24/4
x > -6

The correct result would be x > -6.

After you find the solution, how would you check to make sure your answer is correct?
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Plug in your variables value.

Step-by-step explanation:

For your case, plug in -6 into the y slot

12(5+2y)= -(6-9y) +4y

12(5+2x-6)= -(6-9x-6)+4y see if that works!
