Answer:

11/40

Step-by-step explanation:

If your answering in fraction and not in decimal this is how you do it:

1. Get rid of the brackets surrounding -11/10. You do this by multiplying the positive sign (+) by the negative sign (-) in front of 11. Now the rule says that multiplying a positive with a negative always gives you a negative therefore your fraction in the brackets will remain negative while removing the plus sign. Now your problem should look like this: 11/8-11/10.

2. Finding the common multiple of the denominators. You can't just minus the fractions unless the denominators are the same. To do this you first have to find the lowest common multiple (lcm) of denominators 8 and 10. You can list 5 multiples for each to find this or more depending on how many multiples you need to reach the lcm.

8= 8,16,24,32,40,48,etc.

10=10,20,30,40,50,etc.

The lcm for 8 and 10 is 40.

3. Change the fractions to substitute the new value of the denominators in. To do this you have to multiply the fractions. For example, multiply 11/8 by 5/5 to get 55/40(11×5/8×5). Do the same for the second fraction: 11/10×4/4(11×4/10×4) which gives 44/40.

4. Now finally just minus which is just 55/40-44/40 and your answer will be 11/40. Minus the numerators only not the denominators.

I'm not really good at explaining but I hope this helped

0.275 is the answer




-11/10=-1.1

11/8=1.375

1.375 + (-1.1) = 0.275

A fisherman traveled in a boat from point N upstream. After having traveled 6 km, he stopped rowing and 2 hour 40 min after firs
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

The speed of the river's current is 4.5 km/hr.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A fisherman traveled in a boat from point N upstream.

After having traveled 6 km, he stopped rowing and 2 hour 40 min after first leaving N, he was brought back to N by the current.

Knowing that the speed of the boat in still water is 9 km/hour

To find : The speed of the river’s current.

Solution :

Let the speed of current  = x km/h

Speed of boat = 9 km/h

Thus, the speed in upstream = (9 - x) km/h

Also, the speed in downstream = x km/h (because the boat is stationary in downstream)

Total distance = 6 km ( from N to the point he reached )

Total time = 2 hours 40 minutes

\text{2 hours 40 minutes}=2\frac{40}{60}=2 \frac{2}{3} \\\\\text{2 hours 40 minutes}=\frac{8}{3} \text{ hours}

We know, \text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}

According to the question,

\frac{6}{9-x}+\frac{6}{x}=\frac{8}{3}

Taking LCM and 6 common

6[\frac{x+9-x}{(9-x)x}]=\frac{8}{3}

Take 6 to another side,

\frac{9}{9x-x^2}=\frac{8}{3\times 6}

Cross multiply,

9\times 18=8\times(9x-x^2)

162=72x-8x^2

Taking 4 common and cancel out

4x^2-36x+81=0

Solve quadratic equation by middle term split,

4x^2-18x-18x+81=0

2x(2x-9)-9(2x-9)=0

(2x-9)(2x-9)=0

\Rightarrow 2x-9=0

\Rightarrow x=\frac{9}{2}=4.5

Therefore, The speed of the river's current is 4.5 km/hr.

IF THE TRIANGLES IN THE ABOVE FIGURE ARE PROPORTIONAL, WHATS THE LENGTH OF SIDE B?
Tema [17]
<h3>Answer: choice B) 36</h3>

=================================================

Explanation:

The vertical sides, when read from left to right, can be divided to get this fraction: 9/90

Following the same order and direction, we divide the slanting corresponding sides to get: b/360

The fractions we constructed are equal to one another, as the triangles are said to be proportional.

We have the fraction 9/90 = b/360

Lets cross multiply and solve for b

--------------------

9/90 = b/360

9*360 = 90*b

3240 = 90b

90b = 3240

90b/90 = 3240/90

<h3>b = 36</h3>

--------------------

A quick way to do this may be to notice how the jump from 9 to 90 is "times 10" so the jump from b to 360 is also "times 10". Think in reverse to divide 360 over 10 and we land on 36 as our answer. This line of thinking does not work as simple for all proportional problems.
