Answer:

$unit \: rate = \frac{distance}{time}$

unit rate is similar to speed / velocity:

$unit \: rate = \frac{ (\frac{1}{2} )}{ (\frac{1}{3})} \\ \\ = \frac{1}{2} \div \frac{1}{3} \\ \\ = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{3}{1} \\ \\ = > { \boxed{ \boxed{unit \: rate = \frac{3}{2} \: miles \: per \: hour}}}$

[unit rate must have units including per <time> ]

The number a exceeds the number b by 50 percent. By what percent is the number b smaller than the number a?

inna [77]

Answer:

33 1/3 percent smaller

Step-by-step explanation:

The number a exceeds the number b by 50 percent.

a = b + b*.5

a = b(1.5)

Divide by 1.5

a/1.5 = b

2/3a =b

We want to find (a-b)/a to find the percent decrease

(a-2/3a)/a *100percent

(1/3a)/a* 100 percent

1/3 * 100 percent

33 1/3 percent smaller

Section 5.2-9. Solve the following system of equations by substitution or elimination. Enter your answer as (x,y).2x+y = 2-3x-2y

Alika [10]

$\begin{gathered} (2x+y=2)\times2 \\ -3x-2y=-8 \\ 4x+2y=4 \\ -3x-2y=-8 \\ \text{subtract above two equations} \\ x=-4 \\ \text{put the value of x in equation 1st then get y} \\ 4(-4)+2y=4 \\ -16+2y=4 \\ 2y=20 \\ y=10 \\ (x,y)=(-4,10) \end{gathered}$

Which of the following is a perfect square trinomial?

shutvik [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Take a look at what happens when squaring either of these...

$(ax-by)^2=(ax-by)(ax-by)=a^2x^2-2abxy+b^2y^2\\\\(ax+by)^2=(ax+by)(ax+by)=a^2x^2+2abxy+b^2y^2\\$

Notice a couple of patterns.

1. The last term has a positive coefficient. That rules out answer choices C and D.

2. The coefficient of the middle term is either $+2ab \text{ or } -2ab$ . So what are a and b? a is the square root of the x^2 term and b is the square root of the y^2 term.

$25x^2 \Rightarrow a=5\\\\9y^2 \Rightarrow b=3\\\\ab=15\\\\2ab=30$

The middle coefficient needs to be either +30 or -30. The answer is choice A.
