Answer:

  1. 5/2
  2. 8
  3. 65 mph, 62 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The first two problems can be solved in your head by working backward from the end result.

__

1. After 3/2 is added, the result is 4. Then we must be adding 3/2 to 4 -3/2 = 5/2. We notice that 5/2 already has the numerator 3 more than the denominator, so the fraction of interest is 5/2.

__

2. If 3/8 is added to a number giving a result of 1, the number must be 1 -3/8 = 5/8. That is 5 times 1/8. The number of interest is the reciprocal of 1/8, so is 8.

__

3. Let x represent the speed of the faster car. Then x-3 is the speed of the slower car, and the two times are ...

  time = distance/speed

  390/x = 372/(x-3)

  390(x -3) = 372x . . . cross multiply

  18x = 1170 . . . . . . . add 1170-372x

  x =  65 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 18

The speeds of the cars are 65 mph and 62 mph.

What is 2.8 as a fraction in simplest form
irina1246 [14]
2.8 = 2 + 0.8

*let's analyze the decimal 0.8 as a fraction

0.8 = 8/10

*but if we divide the numerator and denominator by the same common factor of 2, we find that the fraction can be reduced to:

(8/2)/(10/2) = (4)/(5) = 4/5

*now evaluating the whole value of 2 (from the 2.8), we know there are a total of (5) - fifths in order to make a whole, so for 2 whole, we require:

2*(5/5) = (2*5)/5 = 10/5

*Now we add the fractions together:

2 = 10/5
0.8 = 4/5

10/5 + 4/5

*add numerators only, the denominator stays as a 5

(10 + 4)/5 = 14/5

*there are no common factors between 14 & 5 (other than 1, but that won't help reduce the fraction any), so the fraction is in it's simplest form:

answer is: 14/5

What is the solution to the system of equations?
elixir [45]

Answer:

No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x-4y-3z=-7\\2x-6y+2z=3\\5x-2y+5z=9\\\\

Lets consider the equation 2.

Here we multiply the LHS and RHS with (-1).

-3x-4y-3z=-7\\-(2x-6y+2z)=-3\\5x-2y+5z=9\\\\

Hence,

-3x-4y-3z=-7\\-2x+6y-2z=-3\\5x-2y+5z=9\\\\

When we add the equations we get,

0x+0y+0z=-10+9\\Hence,\\0=-1

As 0 doesn't equal to -1, answer is d) No solution
