Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

  In this case, we have a descent of 2,125 feet (initial height of 5,439 - ending height of 3,314). Since it took 34 minutes for the balloon to descend this distance, we divide the descent by the time (2,125/34). This gives us a rate of 62.5 feet per minute.  

  That means that the balloon traveled downward 62.5 feet every minute.

Answer:

-0.9090... can be written as \frac{10}{11}.

Explanation:

Any <em>repeating </em>decimal can be written as a fraction by dividing the section of the pattern to be repeated <em>by </em>9's.

We can start by listing out

0.909090... = 9/10 + 0/100 + 9/1000 + 0/10000 + 9/100000 + 0/1000000 + ...

Now. we let this series be equal to x, that is

x = 9/10 + 0/100 + 9/1000 + 0/10000 + 9/100000 + 0/1000000 + ...

Now, we'll multiply both sides by 100 .

100x = 90 + 0 + 9/10 + 0/100 + 9/1000 + 0/10000 + ...

Then, subtract the 1st equation from the second like so:

100x = 90 + 0 + 9/10 + 0/100 + 9/1000 + 0/10000 + 9/100000 + 0/1000000 + ...

-x = - 9/10 - 0/100 - 9/1000 - 0/10000 - 9/100000 - 0/1000000 - ...

And we end up with this:

99x=90

Finally, we divide both sides by 99 in order to isolate x and get the fraction we're looking for.

x=\frac{90}{99}

Which can be reduced and simplified to

x=\frac{10}{11}

Hope this helps!

Which property is used to simplify the expression 5(3x +18) to 15x+90
natka813 [3]

Answer:

Distributive

Step-by-step explanation:

You distribute the 5 into 3x+18, multiplying it by each part of the equation (each part is separated by one of these signs: +, -, x, or /) to get 15x (from 5 x 3x) plus 60 (from 5 x 18).

Estimate the difference 7 3/4-2/25 Show your work.
crimeas [40]

Answer: 7 3/4 - 2/25 = 767/100  = 7  67/100 = 7.67

Step-by-step explanation:

Conversion a mixed number 7 3/4

to a improper fraction: 7 3/4 = 7 3/4  = 7 · 4 + 3/4= 28 + 3/4 = 31/4

To find a new numerator:

a) Multiply the whole number 7 by the denominator 4. Whole number 7 equally 7 * 4/4 = 28/4

b) Add the answer from previous step 28 to the numerator 3. New numerator is 28 + 3 = 31

c) Write a previous answer (new numerator 31) over the denominator 4.

Seven and three quarters is thirty-one quarters

Subtract: 31/4 - 2/25= 31 · 25/4 · 25 - 2 · 4/25 · 4 = 775/100 - 8/100 = 775 - 8/

100 = 767/100
