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!

Multiply and Simplify. 4x+4/x^2 × (x+2)(x-1)/x+1

NARA [144]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(x^2 - 4)(x^2 - 4)

Simplifying

(x2 + -4)(x2 + -4)

Reorder the terms:

(-4 + x2)(x2 + -4)

Reorder the terms:

(-4 + x2)(-4 + x2)

Multiply (-4 + x2) * (-4 + x2)

(-4(-4 + x2) + x2(-4 + x2))

((-4 * -4 + x2 * -4) + x2(-4 + x2))

((16 + -4x2) + x2(-4 + x2))

(16 + -4x2 + (-4 * x2 + x2 * x2))

(16 + -4x2 + (-4x2 + x4))

Combine like terms: -4x2 + -4x2 = -8x2

(16 + -8x2 + x4)

The admission fee at an amusement park is $1.75 for children and $4.80 for adults. On a certain day, 303 people entered the park

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

Children 188

Adults. 115

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no. of children be x and adults be y

x + y = 303

x = 303 - y. .... .....(1)

1.75x + 4.80y = 881. ...........(2)

Substituting,

1.75(303-y) +4.80y = 881

530.25 -1.75y + 4.80y = 881

530.25 + 3.05y = 881

3.05y = 881 - 530.25

y = 350.75 / 3.05 = 115 = adults

Children = 303-115 = 188

Are there any parentheses in this equation? that would determine what you do first.
