4 0

Answer:

1.1 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

John swims a distance of 5/12 miles

time taken = 3/8 of an hour

Required

The speed with which John swims

Step two:

speed= distance/time

substituting we have

speed= 5/12/3/8

multiply the numerator by the inverse of the denominator

speed= 5/12*8/3

speed= 40/36

speed= 1.1 mph

Determine the point on the graph of the linear equation 2x + 5y = 19, whose ordinate is 1 1/2 times its abscissa.

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

(2, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 5y = 19

5y = -2x + 19

y = $-\frac{2}{5} x + \frac{19}{5}$

P(abscissa, ordinate)

P(x, 1.5x)

P(2, 3)

$3 = -\frac{2}{5} (2) + \frac{19}{5}$

$3 = -\frac{4}{5} + \frac{19}{5}$

3 = 15/5

3 = 3
