3 0

Answer:

38/5

Step-by-step explanation:

15 x 3 = 45 + 3 = 48/15

then 4 + 5 = 20 + 2 = 22/5

22/5 + 48/15 = ?

find the common denominator

15 ÷ by 3 so you do the same to the numerator so, 48 ÷ 3 = 16

then keep the 22 and 16 and put it as 16/5 and 22/5 and add them to get 38/5

hope this helps

Approximate pi plus the square root of 70 to the nearest hundredth.

stich3 [128]

Answer:

11.51

Step-by-step explanation:

In general, a calculator is required to evaluate the irrational sum ...

π + √70

<h3>Calculator result</h3>

The result from a readily-available online calculator is shown in the attachment.

π + √70 ≈ 11.51

<em>Additional comment</em>

You have probably memorized pi to several digits: 3.1416. To obtain the required estimate means you need to approximate √70 to about the same level of precision.

For a number n = a² +b, the square root can be approximated by the continued fraction ...

√n ≈ a +b/(2a +b/(2a +...))

Effectively, the root (r) can be iterated from the recursive formula ...

r' = a +b/(a +r)

For √70, we have 70 = 8² +6 ⇒ a=8, b=6

If the initial approximation of the root is r0≈a=8, then a couple of iterations gives ...

r1 = 8 + 6/(8 +r0) = 8 + 6/(8 +8) = 8 3/8

r2 = 8 + 6/(8 +r1) = 8 +6/(8 +8 3/8) = 8 48/131

This has sufficient accuracy for the purpose. The decimal equivalent of the sum then becomes ...

3.1416 +8.3664 = 11.5080 ≈ 11.51

Mr Smith's art class took a bus trip to an art museum. The bus averaged 65 miles per hour on the highway and 25 miles per hour i

Leya [2.2K]

Let x be the distance traveled on the highway and y the distance traveled in the city, so:
$\left \{ {{x+y=375} \atop { \frac{1}{65}x+ \frac{1}{25}y =7}} \right.$

Now, the system of equations in matrix form will be:
$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&\\ \frac{1}{65} & \frac{1}{25} &\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x&\\y&\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}375&\\7&\end{array}\right]$

Next, we are going to find the determinant:
$D= \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1\\ \frac{1}{65} & \frac{1}{25} \end{array}\right] =(1)( \frac{1}{25}) - (1)( \frac{1}{65} )= \frac{8}{325}$
Next, we are going to find the determinant of x:
$D_{x} = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}375&1\\7& \frac{1}{25} \end{array}\right] = (375)( \frac{1}{25} )-(1)(7)=8$

Now, we can find x:
$x= \frac{ D_{x} }{D} = \frac{8}{ \frac{8}{325} } =325mi$

Now that we know the value of x, we can find y:
$y=375-325=50mi$

Remember that time equals distance over velocity; therefore, the time on the highway will be:
$t_{h} = \frac{325}{65} =5hours$
An the time on the city will be:
$t_{c} = \frac{50}{25} =2hours$

We can conclude that the bus was five hours on the highway and two hours in the city.

Mattie is making a collar for her dog. She needs to buy some chain,a clasp, and a name tag. She wants the chain to be 40 centime

Fantom [35]

Answer:the total cost of the collar is $5.11

Step-by-step explanation:

To make a collar for her dog, she needs to buy some chain,a clasp, and a name tag.

The length of the chain that she wants to buy is 40 centimeters.

1000 centimeters = 1 meter

40 centimeters = 40/1000 = 0.04 meters.

One meter of chain costs $9.75. Therefore, 0.04 meters of chain would cost

0.04 × 9.75 = $0.39

The clasp is $1.29 and the name tag is $3.43. Therefore, the total cost of the collar would be

0.39 + 1.29 + 3.43 = $5.11
