Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
0.75 feet / day [ 1 day / 24 hours] * [12 inches / 1 foot]
This process is called dimensional analysis. The trick it uses is to cancel out units (like feet or days ) where possible. In this case, 1 day is going to cancel out and leave behind 24 hours. 1 foot will cancel out and leave behind 12 inches.
It is well worth learning how to do this, because the process is done in the higher sciences.
So what you are left with is
0.75 * 12 inches / 24 hours
0.75 inches /hour * 1/2
0.375 inches / hour.
Answers:
1. P=3
Step by step:
P-5=-2 -move the constant to the right hand side and change its sign
P=-2+5 - calculate the sum
P=3
2. W=-2.8
Step by step:
W+13.2=10.4 - move the constant tot he right hand side and change its sign
W=10.4-13.3 - calculate the difference
W=-2.8
3. X=2/3
Step by step:
X-5/6=-1/6 - move the constant to the rig hand side and change its sign
X=-1/6+5/6 - calculate the sum
X=2/3
21/25 first you would do 84/100 then you would simplify
The answer to this is : 0.75 (.75)
