Answer:
a. 1 1/8 b. 8/9
Step-by-step explanation:
You can set this up as a proportion to solve. For part a. we know that 2/3 of the road is 3/4 mile long. 2/3 + 1/3 = the whole road, so we need how many miles of the road is 1/3 its length. Set up the proportion like this:
Cross multiplying gives you:
The 3's on the right cancel out nicely, leaving you with
To solve for x, multiply both sides by 3/2:
gives you
That means that the road is still missing 3/8 of a mile til it's finished. The length of the road is found by adding the 3/4 to the 3/8:
So the road is a total of 1 1/8 miles long.
For b. we need to find out how much of 1 1/8 is 1 mile:
1 mile = x * 9/8 and
x = 8/9. When 1 mile of the road is completed, that is 8/9 of the total length of the road completed.
Answer:
15x - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Add both of the equations together.
f(x) + g(x)
(3x + 10x) + (2x -4)
Then, combine like terms
3x + 2x + 10x = 15x
15x - 4
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation: 4/1
0.2(6x+1)/3.6=0.5x/9
Solution
(1.2x + 0.2)/3.6 = 0.5x/9
Cross multiplying, we get
9(1.2x + 0.2) = 3.6 * 0.5x
10.8x + 1.8 = 1.8x
10.8x - 1,8x = -1.8
9x = -1.8
Dividing both sides by 9, we get
x = - 0.2
That's the answer.
Thank you.
Answer:
Final answer will be the choice which matches best with expression
or
Step-by-step explanation:
Given expression is:
We begin by factoring denominators:
Multiply and divide first term by (x) to make denominators equal.
Since denominators are equal so we can combine numerators.
Now simplify
Hence final answer will be the choice which matches best with expression
