Answer:

7/3 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed if the runner is given by:

speed =  \frac{distance}{time}

We have that: speed =3/8 miles per minute and distance =7/8 miles

We substitute into the formula to get:

\frac{3}{8}  =  \frac{ \frac{7}{8} }{time}

time =  \frac{ \frac{7}{8} }{ \frac{3}{8} }

time =  \frac{7}{8}  \times  \frac{8}{3}

This simplifies to

\frac{7}{3}

Therefore it will take 7/3 miniutes to finish the race.

Answer:

  19

Step-by-step explanation:

After x days, the boy will have read 10x. If this is less than 192, we have ...

  10x < 192

  x < 192/10

  x < 19.2

If x is an integer, the largest possible value x could have is 19.

What is the value of y = 7–2 when x = 4?
Ksenya-84 [330]
Y = 7x-2
Y = 7(4) -2
Y = 28-2
Y= 26

The height of a triangle is 4 ft less than the base x. The area is 126 ft2. Find the dimensions of the triangle.
valina [46]

Answer:

Base = x = 18ft

Height = x - 4 = 14ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of A the triangle is given by the following equation:

1) A = (base * heigth)/(2)

From this problem, we know that

base = x and that the height is 4ft less than the base, so height = base - 4 = x - 4.

We also know that the area is 126ft², so A = 126 ft². Now we can replace these informations in equation 1).

126 = (x(x-4))/2

x² - 4x = 252

x² -4x - 252 = 0

The roots of this equation are x = 18 or x = -14. But we know that a triangle cannot have negative dimensions, so we use x = 18.

The base is x, so base = 18ft.

Height is 4ft less than the base, so height equals 18-4 = 14ft

Write equation of a line perpendicular to the y-axis that passes through the point (-4,-8)
babymother [125]

Answer:

y = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the line is perpendicular to the y-axis, it will be a horizontal line that runs through (-4,-8).

When a line is perpendicular to the y-axis, the x-coordinate doesn't matter because the line will be horizontal, meaning it will be the same y value regardless of the x value. In this case, the y value is −8 throughout the line.
