1 1/4x = 3/4
5/4x = 3/4
x = (3/4) / (5/4)
x = 3/4 * 4/5
x = 12/20 which reduces to 3/5

check..
1 1/4 * 3/5 =
5/4 * 3/5 =
15/20 reduces to 3/4

so u would multiply 1 1/4 by 3/5 to get 3/4

I'd suggest dividing. so, what you do is you put 5/4 x 4/3 (thats how dividing works) and you get 20/12 which, when simplified, is 1 2/3.

Whats the equation of a line perpendicular to y= 0.25x-7 and passes through (-6,8)

-Dominant- [34]

$y - 8 = 4(x + 6)$
The slope perpendicular to 1/4 or .25 is 4.
Then you would use point slope form to write the equation.
Then you could simiplify the equation to y=4x+32.

The ending time is 10:08 and the elapsed time is 30 minutes what is the starting tome

elena55 [62]

Wouldn't you just count back 30 minutes from 10:08?
If you round up to 10:10, it's a little easier. Picture an analog clock in your head. Every big number is five minutes, and every two is ten minutes. If we put it back to the 12, that's ten minutes back. Twenty minutes earlier from that would be 9:40. Since we added two minutes to make it easier, we've got to subtract those two minutes. So, the starting time would be 9:38.
I hope this isn't too confusing.

A negative exponent means repeated_________?

allsm [11]

negative exponent means how many times to divide by the number. Example: 8-1 = 1 ÷ 8 = 1/8 = 0.125. Or many divides: Example: 5-3 = 1 ÷ 5 ÷ 5 ÷ 5 = 0.008.

hope it helps
