Answer:

2.4

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{2}{5}$ ÷ $\frac{1}{6}$

using the rule for division by fractions, you get:

$\frac{2}{5}*\frac{6}{1}$

simplify

$\frac{12}{5}$ = 2.4

WHAT'S THE ERROR? A student says 3(n- 5) is equal to 3n - 5. What's<br>the error?

inn [45]

Answer:

The student incorrectly used the Distributive property!

Step-by-step explanation:

The Distributive property says a(b+c)=ab+ac

In this problem the answer SHOULD be 3n-15, however the <u>student forgot to distribute the 3 to the -5</u>!

64, –48, 36, –27, ...<br><br> Which formula can be used to describe the sequence?

nordsb [41]

Answer:

$\boxed{a_n \: = \: 64 \: \times \: ( - \frac{3}{4} ) ^{n \: - \: 1} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

We first compute the ratio of this geometric sequence.

$r \: = \: \frac{ - 48}{64} \\ \\ r \: = \: \frac{36}{ - 48} \\ \\ r \: = \: \frac{ - 27}{36}$

We simplify the fractions:

$r \: = \: - \frac{3 }{4} \\ \\ r \: = \: - \frac{3 }{4} \\ \\ r \: = \: - \frac{3 }{4}$

We deduce that it is the common ratio because it is the same between each pair.

$r \: = \: - \frac{3 }{4}$

We use the first term and the common ratio to describe the equation:

$a_1 \: = \: 64; \: r \: = \: - \frac{3 }{4}$

<h3>We apply the data in this formula:</h3>

$\boxed{a_n \: = \: a_1 \: \times \: {r}^{ n \: - \: 1} }$

_______________________

<h3>We apply:</h3>

$\boxed {\bold{a_n \: = \: 64 \: \times \: {( - \frac{3}{4} )}^{ n \: - \: 1} }}$

My friend sets out walking at a speed of $3$ miles per hour. I set out behind her $5$ minutes later at $4$ miles per hour. When

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer: The answer is 0.25 miles.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that my friend started walking at a speed of 3 miles per hour and I started 5 minutes after him at a speed of 4 miles per hour. We need to find the number of miles my friend travelled when I started walking.

Since I started 5 minutes after than my friend, so we are to find the distance travelled by my friend in 5 minutes.

In 1 hour, i.e., 60 minutes, distance travelled by my friend = 3 miles.

In 1 minute, distance travelled by my friend is

$\dfrac{3}{60}=\dfrac{1}{20}~\textup{miles}.$

Therefore, distance travelled by my friend in 5 minutes will be

$\dfrac{1}{20}\times 5=\dfrac{1}{4}=0.25~\textup{miles}.$

Thus, the answer is 0.25 miles.
