Answer:

I don't know, other than because it's the same thing and it just can.

Step-by-step explanation:

2 x 12 ÷ 3 is longer when written out but it is simpler to solve.

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{2}{3} × 12 can also be written as \frac{2 * 12 }{3} because the 12 is multiplying the numerator of the fraction.

12 can also be written as \frac{12}{1}.

When we solve, this is what is happening:

\frac{2}{3} × \frac{12}{1}

The 12 will be multiplying the 2, while the 1 will be multiplying the 3. Because 3 times 1 is 3, we don't show the 1. So, that can leave us with 2 being multiplied by 12 in the numerator.

Answer:

The number of Pencils purchased and the cost of pencils represents a proportional relationship.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that proportional relationships between two variables have equivalent ratios.

For example,

3/12 = 9/36 is a TRUE proportions because both fractions reduces to 1/4, and because  12 × 9 = 3 × 36.

As our problem suggests whether the number of Pencils purchased and the cost of pencils represent a proportional relationship?

Given

  • Pencils $0.25 each

It means ach pencil costs $0.25.

So

  • If Sarah buys 1 pencil it would cost = $0.25
  • If Sarah buys 2 pencils it would cost = $0.5
  • If Sarah buys 3 pencils it would cost = $0.75
  • If Sarah buys 4 pencils it would cost = $1

Lets make a table:

No of Pencils Purchased               Cost

                  1                                   $0.25

                  2                                   $0.5

                  3                                   $0.75

                  4                                   $1

so

Cost/No of Pencils Purchased = 0.25/1 = 0.5/2 = 0.75/3 = 1/4

So cost per pencil = 0.25 : 1

Since all of the ratios are equivalent, this table is a proportional relationship.

Therefore, the number of Pencils purchased and the cost of pencils represents a proportional relationship.

I'm stuck with this simultaneous equation. Can anyone help me please?
professor190 [17]
Multiply (h+3t= -10) to get 2h+6t=-20.

(<span>2h+6t=-20</span>) - (2h+t=-8) to get 5t=-28
therefore t=-5.6

put t into any equation. i.e (2h-t=-8) = 2h+5.6=-8
therefore 2h = -13.6
h=-6.8

postnew [5]

Answer:

7:00

Step-by-step explanation:

First I figured out the MPH for the ride there by dividing 350 by 5 which was 70 MPH which is the average rate of speed. Next, I subtracted by 20 since the ride home his average speed was 20 less than before which got me 50 MPH. Then, I divided 350 by 50 to get the hours it took him with his setback which was 7. Lastly, I added 7 hours to noon (12:00) and got 7:00
