Makaila read 44 pages of her book yesterday and 2/3 of the book today. If she read a total of 200 pages in the past two days how

pogonyaev

Answer:

Total number of pages in the book is 234.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the total number of pages in the book = <em>x</em>

Now, it is given that Makaila read 44 pages yesterday.

Also, Makaila read two-third of the book today. As we have assumed that, there are a total of x number of pages in the book, so we can say that Makaila read two-third of <em>x </em>number of pages today.

Number of pages read by Makaila today = $\frac{2}{3}\;of\;x=\frac{2}{3}\times\;x=\frac{2x}{3}$

Now, it is also given that, Makaila read a total of 200 pages in the past two days.

∴ according to question,

Pages read yesterday + Pages read today = 200

⇒ $44+\frac{22x}{3}=200$

⇒ $\frac{44\times3+2x}{3}=200$

⇒ $\frac{132+2x}{3}=200$

⇒ $132+2x=200\times3\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;[On\;cross-multiplying]$

⇒ $132+2x=600$

⇒ $2x=600-132$

⇒ $2x=468$

⇒ $x=\frac{468}{2}=234$

∴ Total number of pages in the book = <em>x</em> = 234

If an ant crawls 1 meter in 25 seconds, what is the ant’s speed?

Oduvanchick [21]

$1min=60s\to1s=\frac{1}{60}min\\\\25s=25\times\frac{1}{60}min=\frac{5}{12}min\\\\1m/25s=1m/\frac{5}{12}min=\frac{12}{5}\ m/min=2.4\ m/min$

Please help!! Write in simplest radical form: √7/8 Show how you figured it out

12345 [234]

Given expression: $\sqrt{\frac{7}{8}}$ .

$\mathrm{Apply\:radical\:rule\:}\sqrt[n]{\frac{a}{b}}=\frac{\sqrt[n]{a}}{\sqrt[n]{b}}$

$=\frac{\sqrt{7}}{\sqrt{8}}$

$\sqrt{8}=\sqrt{2^2\cdot \:2}=2\sqrt{2}$

$\frac{\sqrt{7}}{\sqrt{8}} =\frac{\sqrt{7}}{2\sqrt{2}}$

$\mathrm{Rationalize\:}\frac{\sqrt{7}}{2\sqrt{2}}$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:by\:the\:conjugate}\:\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}}$

$=\frac{\sqrt{7}\sqrt{2}}{2\sqrt{2}\sqrt{2}}$

$=\frac{\sqrt{14}}{4}$

$=\frac{\sqrt{14}}{4}$ .
