A person runs 1/8 mile in 1/64 hour.<br> The person's speed is (BLANK) miles per hour.

snow_tiger [21]

Answer: The person's speed is 8 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve we want to convert the $\frac{1}{8}$ and $\frac{1}{64}$ proportionally for the number of miles per hour. We know that multiplying a fraction by its reciprocal will equal 1. So let's do that for the value of the hour.

$\frac{1}{64}$ × $\frac{64}{1} =\frac{64}{64} =1$

Since we multiplied that to the number of hours we must also do that for the number of miles.

$\frac{1}{8}$ × $\frac{64}{1} =\frac{64}{8} =8$

4 - 5/2 * (1/10x) = 1 what is the value of x

Inga [223]

$4 - 5 / 2 * (1/10x) = 1\\$

The first step is to identify the order in which the equation must be solved, by following PEMDAS (you might know it as BEDMAS):

Parenthesis (or Brackets)

Exponents

Multiplication and Division

Addition and Subtraction

My advice would be to add parenthesis, following these rules, if you are not very good at finding them immediately by sight.

So:

$4 - 5 / 2 * (\frac{1}{10x}) = 1\\\\4 - [(5/2)*(\frac{1}{10x})]=1\\\\4-(2.5*\frac{1}{10x})=1\\\\4-\frac{2.5}{10x}-1=0\\3-\frac{x}{4}=0\\\frac{x}{4}=3\\x=3*4\\x=12$

We check our answer:

$x=12\\4 - [(5 / 2) * (1/10)*(x)] = 1\\4 - [(5 / 2) * (\frac{1}{10}) * (12))] = 1\\4 - [2.5 * (\frac{1}{10})*12] = 1\\4 - [(\frac{2.5}{10})*12] = 1\\4 - [(\frac{1}{4})*12] = 1\\4 - 3 = 1\\1=1$
