Answer:
37.5 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
The traffic along a stretch road moves at an average speed that carried inversely as the number of cars
Average speed= k/number of cars.
When there are 1,500 cars the average speed is 45
The first step is to calculate the constant k
45= k/1500
k = 1,500 × 45
k= 67,500
Therefore the average speed when there are 1,800 cars can be calculated as follows
Average speed= 67,500/1,800
= 37.5 miles per hour
Hence the average speed is 37.5 moles per hour
Divide 2 by 5.
you get .4
to make a number a percent, you shift the decimal two placed to the right.
so 2/5=.4=40%
Answer:
x = 10/27
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Algebra</u>
- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
- Equality Properties
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>
9/5x = 2/3
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Divide both sides by 9/5: x = 10/27
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute: 9/5(10/27) = 2/3
- Multiply: 90/135 = 2/3
- Simplify: 2/3 = 2/3
And we have our final answer!
Answer: 4*sqrt(66)
This is the same as saying 
===========================================================
Explanation:
x = length of segment BD
Because BD is an altitude of triangle ABC, this means the triangle is split into two smaller right triangles which are similar to the original. All three right triangles are similar to one another.
What this leads to is the proportion
CD/BD = BD/AD
Apply substitution and solve for x.
24/x = x/44
24*44 = x*x .... cross multiply
1056 = x^2
x = sqrt(1056)
x = sqrt(16*66)
x = sqrt(16)*sqrt(66)
x = 4*sqrt(66)
Notice how I factored 1056 in such a way that I pulled out the largest perfect square factor (16). Then I used the rule 
to break up the root.
