1. You convert all the numbers into decimals.
a. For 8 1/9 you multiply 8x9 and add the numerator which in this case is one, so the equation would be 8x9=72 then 72+1= 73
b. For 81/10 I used a calculator for accuracy and I just divided 81 by 10 because the fraction line can also be used as a division sign. For this I got 8.1
2. Now I looked at all the numbers I had including the fractions I converted to decimals... 8.115, 8.55, 73, and 8.1
3. Lastly, I put the numbers in order from least to greatest: 8.1, 8.115, 8.55, and 73
4. In order to figure out which one is the smallest and largest, I just added zeros on the end of the numbers so they would all be the same: 8.1-->8.100, 8.115 I kept the same because it already had 3 decimal places, 8.55--> 8.550, and 73--> 73.000
5. Then i could tell which number was the largest by the decimal place numbers.
**Hope this was helpful... It's kind of hard to explain online but hopefully you have a better understanding of how to do it!**
Answer:
14.3 km/h to 3 significant figures
Step-by-step explanation:
Let time travelling upstream be t1 hours and downstream = t2 hours.
t1 + t2 = 1.75..........................(1)
Let v be the speed of the boat in still water.
12 / t1 = v - 3.........................(2)
12 / t2 = v + 3........................(3)
From (1) and (3) , substituting for t2:-
12 / (1.75 - t1) = v + 3 ..................(4)
Subtract:- (2) - (4):-
12 / t1 - 12 / (1.75 - t1) = -6
12(1 .75 - t1) - 12t1 = -6t1(1.75 - t1)
21 - 12t1 - 12t1 = -10.5t1 + 6t^2
6t1^2 + 13.5t1 - 21 = 0
Solving this gives t1 = 1.058 hours
Therefore the speed in still water (v) = 12/1.058 + 3 = 14.3 to 3 sig figs
Answer:
equation: y=41-11
answer: the desk is 30 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
So if the desk is 11 inches SHORTER than the chair, and the height of the chair is 41 inches, all you need to do is subtract 11 from 41, which will give you a total of 30 inches.
Hope this helps!
5 2/3 divided by 2 2/3 = 17/3 divided by 8/3 = 17/8 = 2 1/8 miles per hour
2 2/3 divided by 5 2/3 = 8/3 divided by 17/3 = 8/17 hours per mile
