Answer: The answer is: " 72 words per minute. "

___________________________

Step-by-step explanation:

___________________________

This is a "unit rate" problem.

We want to solve for/ find the number of words PER single minute.

___________________________

Given 48 words per (2/3) minute;

How many words per (one) minute?

__________________________

The answer is {48 ÷ (2/3) } words per minute:

Note: dividing by a number is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal (inverse) of that particular number:

Hence:

__________________________

The answer is {48 * (3/2) } words per minute:

__________________________

Write as:

" $\frac{48}{1} *\frac{3}{2}$ " ;

__________________________

The "48" can be changed to "24" ; and the "2" can be changed to "1" ;

→ {Since: "48 ÷ 2 = 24 "} ;

___________________________

And we have:

___________________________

" $\frac{24}{1} *\frac{3}{1} = 24 * 3 = 72$ " ;

___________________________

The answer is: " 72 words per minute ."

___________________________

Hope this is helpful to you!

Step-by-step explanation:

$\int \bigg( - \frac{2}{7} {x}^{3} - 4 {x}^{4} - 2x \bigg)dx \\ \\ = - \frac{2}{7}\int {x}^{3}dx - 4 \int {x}^{4}dx - 2\int x dx \\ \\ = - \frac{2}{7} \times \frac{ {x}^{4} }{4} - 4 \times \frac{ {x}^{5} }{5} - 2 \times \frac{ {x}^{2} }{2} + c \\ \\ = - \frac{{x}^{4} }{14} - \frac{4}{5} {x}^{5} - {x}^{2} + c \\$

Anaya makes 14 baskets during her game. Some of these baskets were worth two points and others were worth three points. In total

Valentin [98]

Answer:she made 12 two points basket.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of baskets that were worth two points.

Let y represent the number of baskets that were worth three points.

Anaya makes 14 baskets during her game.

This means that

x + y = 14

Some of these baskets were worth two points and others were worth three points. In total she scored 30 points. His means that

2x + 3y = 30 - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 14 - y into equation 1, it becomes

2(14 - y) + 3y = 30

28 - 2y + 3y = 30

- 2y + 3y = 30 - 28

y = 2

Substituting y = 2 into x = 14 - y, it becomes

x = 14 - 2

x = 12
