Answer:
Improper fraction: 39/34
Proper fraction: 1 5/34
Decimal: 1.147 (rounded to the nearest thousandths).
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve each expression given, if it has the same result, then the expressions is equivalent. Solve the given expression:
4 7/8 ÷ 4 1/4
First, change all fractions into improper fractions:
4 7/8 = (4 * 8)/8 + 7/8 = 32/8 + 7/8 = 39/8
4 1/4 = (4 * 4)/4 + 1/4 = 16/4 + 1/4 = 17/4
Next, find common denominators. Note that what you do to the denominator, you must do the numerator:
(17/4) * (2/2) = (34/8)
39/8 ÷ 17/4
Solve. First, change the division sign into multiplication, and then flip the second fraction:
39/8 ÷ 17/4 = 39/8 x 4/17
Multiply straight across:
39/8 x 4/17 = (39 x 4)/(8 x 17) = 156/136 = 39/34 (simplified), or 1 5/34.

Answer:
The speeds of the cars is: 0.625 miles/minute
Step-by-step explanation:
We use systems of equations in two variables to solve this problem.
Recall that the definition of speed (v) is the quotient of the distance traveled divided the time it took : 
. Notice as well that the speed of both cars is the same, but their times are different because they covered different distances. So if we find the distances they covered, we can easily find what their speed was.
Writing the velocity equation for car A (which reached its destination in 24 minutes) is:
Now we write a similar equation for car B which travels 5 miles further than car A and does it in 32 minutes:
Now we solve for 
in this last equation and make the substitution in the equation for car A:
So this is the speed of both cars: 0.625 miles/minute
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Combine any like terms on each side of the equation: x-terms with x-terms and constants with constants. Arrange the terms in the same order, usually x-term before constants. If all of the terms in the two expressions are identical, then the two expressions are equivalent.
