Answer:

40 × 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

40 divided by 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

    When multiplying or dividing by a fraction, dividing will (I think) always result in a larger number than multiplying. This is because you are multiplying a number by less than one, but when you divide, you are dividing by a number less than 1 (which will result in more).

    We can also prove this by solving them, 40 x 1/4 = 10 while 40 divided by 1/4 is equal to 160. This math speaks for itself. :)

Have a nice day!

    I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly. (ノ^∇^)

Naily [24]

Answer: A. contains a number and a unit

What is the equation of the line x–3y=18 in slope-intercept form?
olya-2409 [2.1K]
Solve the equation for y 

x-3y= -18

-3y = -18-x

now, divide both sides with -3

y = (-18-x)/-3

y = 6 +x/3

your slope is 1/3

and y-intercept is 6

A gold mine has two elevators one for equipment and another for miners. The elevator for the miners descends 13 feet per second.
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

The equipment elevator is positioned 481 feet closer and the miner equipment is positioned 342 feet closer relative to the surface. The equipment elevator is deeper.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate that both elevators descend are the same according to the information given in the question.

After 18 seconds, the equipment elevator has descended 18 x 13 = 234 feet.

After another 19 seconds, the equipment elevator has descended for a total of 37 seconds which results in 481 feet and the miner elevator has descended for 19 seconds which gives us a descend of 342 feet.

So they are 481 and 342 feet closer relative to the surface and the equipment elevator is deeper since it has descended for a longer period of time.

I hope this answer helps.

Consider △ABC. Triangle A B C is shown. Angle B C A is a right angle. The length of hypotenuse A B is 13, the length of B C is 1
bija089 [108]

Answer:

<em>22.62°</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering △ABC.  If angle B C A is a right angle, then;

m<BCA = 90 degrees

Given also

AB = 13

BC = 12

AC = 5.

According to SOH, CAH TOA;

Sin <B = AC/AB

Cos <B = BC/AB

Substitute the given values

Sin B = 5/13

B = arcsin(5/13)

B = 22.62

Cos B = 12/13

B = arccos (12/13)

B =22.62

<em>Hence the angles that make sinB = cosB is 22.62°</em>
