Speed=distance/time
suppose the distance of the first day is d, and the time is t
distance of the second day: d+0.17d=1.17d
time of the second day: t+0.2t=1.2t
speed of the second day: 1.17d/1.2t=0.975(d/t)=(1-0.025)(d/t)
so the speed of the second day is 2.5% slower than the first day.
Answer:1. 152.4
2. 0.0009
3. 680
Step-by-step explanation:
There are many ways to work this out. One way could be:
Add up:
1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 = 3/4
Find 3/4 of 8 so;
8 / 4 = 2
2 x 3 = 6
Find what's remaining:
8 - 6 = 2
So Mr.Greg has sandwiches left.
Hope it helped :)
Answer:
4 : 9
Step-by-step explanation:
The requested ratio is ...
tile length : board length = (2/3 ft) : (1/2 yd) = (8 in) : (18 in)
= 8 : 18 = 4 : 9
_____
To make a unitless ratio, both parts must have the same units. Here, we chose to express the lengths in inches. We could have used feet or yards as well. (2/3 ft)×(1 yard)/(3 ft) = 2/9 yd or (1/2 yd)(3 ft/yd) = 3/2 ft. You get the same ratio with any of these:
(2/9 yd) : (1/2 yd) = (4 yd) : (9 yd) = 4 : 9 . . . . . multiply by 18
(2/3 ft) : (3/2 ft) = (4 ft) : (9 ft) = 4 : 9 . . . . . multiply by 6
The opposite would be 3

4
Just switch out the negatives for positives
