Answer:
5/6 books
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that Mark read 2 1/2 books last week. This week, he read a bit more with 3 1/3 books.
To find how many more books he read, we must subtract 2 1/2 from 3 1/3:
3 1/3 - 2 1/2
Let's convert these into improper fractions first:
3 1/3 = (3 * 3 + 1) / 3 = 10/3
2 1/2 = (2 * 2 + 1) / 2 = 5/2
Now, we have:
10/3 - 5/2
In order to subtract these, we must find a common denominator. For 2 and 3, the LCM is 6, so we can use that as our common denominator:
10/3 * 2/2 = 20/6
5/2 * 3/3 = 15/6
Finally, we have:
20/6 - 15/6 = (20 - 15) / 6 = 5/6 books
Answer:
2.60 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
A hose fills a hot tub at a rate of ,
2.09 gallons ⇒ 1 minute
Now we have to find the time which takes to fill a 327 gallon hot tub.
For that, let the unknown time be x.
So,
2.09 gallons ⇒ 1 minute
327 gallon ⇒ x
Use cross multiplication to find the value of x.
2.09 x = 327 × 1
2.09x = 327
x = 327 ÷ 2.09
x = 156.45 min
Therefore, it takes 156.45 minutes.
But the question is asked for hours.
So,
Let us solve now.
156.45 ÷ 60 = 2.60 hours
Let me know if you have any other questions :-)
To solve 4(x-2)^2 = 16
divide each side by 4 to have (x-2)^2 = 4
take the square root of both sides
x-2 = -2 or x-2 = 2
add 2 to each side
x = 0 or x = 4
4 ( 0-2)^2 = 16
4 (-2)^2 = 16
4 (4) = 16 true
4 ( 4-2)^2 = 16
4 (2)^2 = 16
4 (4) = 16 true.
the values for x are 0 and 4.
Answer:
5x-19=22
5x=41 (add 19 to both sides)
x=8.2
