Un estudiante debe recorrer dos tercios de kilómetro para llegar al colegio, si avanza medio kilómetro en bus y lo demás a pie ¿

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Al estudiante le falta caminar $\frac{1}{3}$ de kilómetro.

Step-by-step explanation:

Un estudiante debe recorrer dos tercios de kilómetro para llegar al colegio. Dos tercios equivale a la fracción $\frac{2}{3}$ .

El estudiante avanza medio kilómetro en bus. Un medio equivale a la fracción $\frac{1}{2}$ , por lo tanto un medio es la mitad de una cantidad. Para calcular la distancia recorrida en bus se realiza la siguiente multiplicación:

$\frac{1}{2} *\frac{2}{3}$

Resolviendo:

$\frac{1}{2} *\frac{2}{3} =\frac{1*2}{2*3} =\frac{2}{6} =\frac{1}{3}$

Entonces, la distancia recorrida en bus es $\frac{1}{3}$ de kilómetro.

Para calcular la distancia recorrida a pie se calcula la diferencia entre la distancia total a recorrer por el estudiante y la distancia recorrida en bus. Esto es:

$\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{3}$

Resolviendo:

$\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{3}=\frac{2-1}{3} =\frac{1}{3}$

Al estudiante le falta caminar $\frac{1}{3}$ de kilómetro.

PRACTICE ANOTHER A piece of wire 18 m long is cut into two pieces. One piece is bent into a square and the other is bent into an

sergejj [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equations

4x + 3y = 18 where x = the side of the square and y = the side of the triangle

For the areas:

A = x^2 + √3y/2* y/2

A = x^2 + √3y^2/4

From the first equation x = (18 - 3y)/4

So substituting in the area equation:

A = [ (18 - 3y)/4]^2 + √3y^2/4

A = (18 - 3y)^2 / 16 + √3y^2/4

Now for maximum / minimum area the derivative = 0 so we have

A' = 1/16 * 2(18 - 3y) * -3 + 1/4 * 2√3 y = 0

-3/8 (18 - 3y) + √3 y /2 = 0

-27/4 + 9y/8 + √3y /2 = 0

-54 + 9y + 4√3y = 0

y = 54 / 15.93

= 3.39 metres

So x = (18-3(3.39) / 4 = 1.96.

This is a minimum value for x.

So the total length of wire the square for minimum total area is 4 * 1.96

= 7.84 m

There is no maximum area as the equation for the total area is a quadratic with a positive leading coefficient.

Solve the simultaneous equation x+y/4=1/2 and x-3y/3=2

Feliz [49]

Answer:

x+y/4 = 1/2

x-3y/3 = 2

move variables to one side:

multiply the first equation by 4 to get: x+y =2

and the second equation by 3 to get: x-3y =6

then subtract the equations to cancel out x:

x+y = 2

- x-3y = 6

then u get

y--3y = 2-6

4y = -4

y=-1

substitute to solve for x:

x-1 / 4 =1/2

x-1 = 2

x=3

check:

3+-1

2/4= 1/2

correct!!!

A floor of a room is in the shape of square. It is to be covered with rectangular tiles that each have an area of 192 square inc

Grace [21]

Find area of room
aera=legnth wtimes width
in a square, legnth=width
aera=legnth^2
legnth=14 feet
convert o inches
14*12=168 inches
area=168^2=28224 square inches

how many tiles will cover all of floor?
aka
how many 192 in^2 is at least 28224 (at least, because we need to cover the whole floor without gaps)
192x>28224
divide both sides by 192
x>147

147 is the number of tiles we need
