Answer:

A) Together the boys didn't even cut half the yard.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount cut was ...

1/8 + 1/5 = 5/40 +8/40 = 13/40

This amount is less than half = 20/40, so choice A is appropriate.

_____

You can reason about these fractions several ways:

1. half is 2 1/2 fifths. 1/8 is less than 1/5, so 1/5+1/8 < (2 1/2)/5.

2. half is 4/8. 1/5 is more than 1/8 but is less than 2/8. 1/8 + 1/5 < 3/8 < 1/2

3. 1/5 < 1/4; 1/8 < 1/4; 1/2 = 2/4, so two amounts less than 1/4 cannot be more than 1/2.

svetlana [45]

Answer:

t = -d/50 + 2

0.5 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:

d = 50 - 100t

The inverse function:

A.) solving for t

d = 100 - 50t

d - 100 = - 50t

Divide both sides by - 50

d/-50 - (100/-50) = - 50t/-50

-d/50 - (-2) = t

t = -d/50 + 2

B) using the inverse function:

t = -d/50 + 2

Miles driven (d) = 75, find time (t)

t = - 75/50 + 2

t = - 1.5 + 2

t = 0.5

t is in hours, therefore time left to travel is 0.5 hours or 30 minutes

Solve xy - 3 = k solve for x
ladessa [460]

Answer:

x=(k+3)/y

Step-by-step explanation

First, we simplify by adding 3 to both sides of the equation

xy-3+3=k+3

Now it's xy=k+3

To get x we divide both sides by y

So x=(k+3)/y
