Find the rate in miles per hour. 5 1/3 miles in 7 1/2 minutes

Mathematics
1 answer:
Nesterboy [21]3 years ago

The answer is:  " 42\frac{2}{3} miles per hour " .

_______

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

This is a "unit rate" problem.

"Find the rate in miles per "single [unit] hour."

 {GIven:  "5 1/3 mi per 7 1/2 min."}.

_______

Using a technique unknown as "dimension analysis" ;

let us convert the given value; in "mi / min" ;

 to its value in "mi/hr" (our answer):

_______

→    " 5 1/3  mi        60 min                  ,    

      ________  *   ______   =   ?      mi / hr ?  "

       7 1/2 min           1 hr

_______

<u>Note:</u>  The units of "min" ["minute(s)"] ; cancel out to "1" ;

               →  {since:  "min/min = 1 " ;

  and we have:  " [ (5  1/3 * 60) / (7 1/2) ] mi / hr. " ;

_______

   →   " 5  1/3 =  [ (3*5) + 1 ] / 3 " ;

                                  = " (15 + 1) /3 " ;

                                  = " 16 / 3 " ;  → (as an "improper fraction") ;

   →   " 7  1/2 =  [ (2*7) + 1 ] / 2 " ;

                                  =  " (14 + 1) / 2) " ;

                                  = "  15 / 2 " ;   → (as an "improper fraction") ;

_______

So we have:

   →   " (\frac{16}{3}*\frac{60}{1}) ÷ \frac{15}{2} " ;

<u>Note</u>: Dividing by a value is the same value as multiplying by the reciprocal of that value.

 In this case:  The reciprocal of:  " (\frac{15}{2}) " ;  is:  " (\frac{2}{15}) " ;

_______

So, we can rewrite the expression:

_______

   →   " (\frac{16}{3}*\frac{60}{1}) * \frac{2}{15} " ;

_______

     =  " \frac{(16*60*2)}{(3*1*15)} " ;

   

 →   "  <u>  ( 16 * 60 * 2)    </u>  "

             (3 * 15)    

 →   Take note of the "60" in the numerator;  and the "15" in the denominator ;

  " (60 ÷ 15 = 4) " ;  

 so we can change the "60" to a "15" and cancel out the "15" ; since:

  " (15 ÷ 15 = 1 ) " ;  

_______

And rewrite:

_______

   →   "  <u>  ( 16 * 4 * 2)    </u>  "  

                    3       ;

_______

= \frac{(16 * 4 * 2)}{3}  = \frac{(64*2)}{3} = \frac{128}{3} =  (128 ÷ 3) =  " 42\frac{2}{3} " .

_______

The answer is:  " 42\frac{2}{3} miles per hour " .

_______

Hope this is helpful!

 Best of luck to you!

You are buying a house that cost 650,000 and you put down a down payment. you take out a loan for the remainder of the amount, o
gayaneshka [121]
<h3>Answers:</h3>

Monthly Payment = $4,702.68

Total Payments = $846,482.40

Interest = $261,482.40

Delete the dollar signs and/or commas if needed.

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

Explanation:

The down payment is 10% of the home's value

This means that the buyer pays $65,000 up front (since 0.10*650,000 = 65,000).

The remaining 650,000 - 65,000 = 585,000 dollars is loaned in the mortgage.

Or you could write it like this 95% of 650,000 = 0.95*650,000 = 585,000

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

The monthly payment formula is

P = (L*i)/( 1-(1+i)^(-n) )

where,

  • P = monthly payment
  • L = amount loaned
  • i = interest rate per month in decimal form
  • n = number of months

In this case,

  • L = 585,000 dollars
  • i = 0.0525/12 = 0.004375 exactly
  • n = 15*12 = 180 months (equivalent to 15 years)

So,

P = (L*i)/( 1-(1+i)^(-n) )

P = (585000*0.004375)/( 1-(1+0.004375)^(-180) )

P = 4702.6846353538

P = 4702.68

The monthly payment is $4,702.68

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

Let's now compute the total amount paid back (principal + interest)

If you pay 4,702.68 dollars per month over the course of 180 months, then you pay back a total of 4702.68*180 = 846,482.40

The total payments add up to 846,482.40 dollars.

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

To compute the interest only, subtract the total payments from the amount loaned.

846,482.40 - 585,000 = 261,482.40 is the amount of interest only.

Write the ratio as a fraction in simplest form. The ratio for 18 girls to 27 boys as a fraction is .
love history [14]

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Reduce the fraction 18/27 into its lowest terms

since both 18 and 27 are divisible by 9, divide both terms by 9

  18/9 = 2

  27/9 = 3

18/27 reduced to lowest terms is 2/3
