3 1/4 - 1 7/8
First, subtract the whole numbers (3 - 1 = 2):
= 2 1/4 - 7/8
Convert 1/4 to 2/8:
= 2 2/8 - 7/8
Borrow 1=8/8 from the 2:
= 1 10/8 - 7/8
Subtract 7/8 from 10/8:
= 1 3/8
The answer is 1 3/8
Alternatively, use improper fractions:
3 1/4 = 13/4 = 26/8
1 7/8 = 15/8
26/8 - 15/8 = 11/8 = 1 3/8
1.53156146179 that is the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that t = d/r where t is time, d is distance, and r is rate/speed.
We can come up with two equations with the information given and the equation:
t_1 hr = (10 km)/(x km/hr)
t_2 hr = (12 km)/(x - 1 km/hr)
<em>where t_1 is the time taken to run the 10km the first day and t_2 is the time taken to run the 12km the second day.</em>
We know that 30 minutes is 1/2 of an hour and that t_1 is 30 minutes less than t_2 (as stated in the question). Therefore, we can write:
t_1 = t_2 - 1/2
Substituting the values we derived:
(10 km)/(x km/hr) = (12 km)/(x - 1 km/hr) -1/2
Then we can evaluate by multiplying by 2x(x-1) on both sides:
20(x-1) = 24x - (x)(x-1)
20x - 20 = 24x - x^2 + x
x^2 -5x -20 = 0
And we are done.
I hope this helps! :)
