Perform the following division:

Radda [10]

Hey!

Alright, the first step to solving this division problem would be to convert the mixed fraction into a simple fraction. To do that, we'll multiply the denominator by the whole number and then add that total to the numerator.

Original Fraction :
$3 \frac{3}{4}$

New Fraction {Changed by Conversion} :
$\frac{15}{4}$

Now that we've successfully done that we'll have to change the equation.

Old Equation :
$\frac{15}{4}$ ÷ $\frac{2}{8}$ = ?

New Equation {Changed by Flipping the Second Fraction and the Symbol} :
$\frac{15}{4}$ · $\frac{8}{2}$ = ?

Now we multiply straight across.

Old Equation :
$\frac{15}{4}$ · $\frac{8}{2}$ = ?

Solved :
$\frac{120}{8}$

Almost done!
Now we have to simplify the fraction.

Old Fraction :
$\frac{120}{8}$

New Fraction {Changed by Simplification} :
$\frac{15}{1}$

Now just convert it to a whole number by removing the fraction line and the number, and that's it!

So, $3 \frac{3}{4}$ ÷ $\frac{2}{8}$ equals 15.

Hope this helps!

10. MJ and Peter Parker leave school traveling in opposite

Paladinen [302]

Using proportions, it is found that:

Peter is walking at a rate of 3 km/h.
MJ is biking at a rate of 9 km/h.

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

Peter is walking at a rate of x km/h.
MJ is biking 6 km/h faster than Peter, thus 6 + x km/h.
Opposite directions, thus, their distance increases at a rate of (6 + 2x) km each hour, as $6 + x + x = 6 + 2x$ .

6 + 2x km each hour, 18 km after 1.5 hours, thus, the rule of three is:

1h - (6 + 2x) km

1.5h - 18 km

Applying cross multiplication:

$1.5(6 + 2x) = 18$

$9 + 3x = 18$

$3x = 9$

$x = \frac{9}{3}$

$x = 3$

$x + 6 = 3 + 6 = 9$

Then:

Peter is walking at a rate of 3 km/h.
MJ is biking at a rate of 9 km/h.

A new building in the shape of a square pyramid is to be constructed. The slant height will be five times the side length of the

Temka [501]

The area of the square pyramid building is the amount of space on it

The maximum base length of the building is 67.42 cm

<h3>How to determine the maximum side length?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Base = b

Slant height (l) = 5b

The lateral surface area is calculated using:

L = 2bl

So, we have:

L = 2 * b * 5b

Evaluate the product

L = 10b^2

The total surface area is calculated using:

T = L + b^2

So, we have:

T = 10b^2 + b^2

Evaluate the sum

T = 11b^2

The maximum surface area is 50,000 square feet

So, we have:

11b^2 = 50000

Divide both sides by 11

b^2 = 50000/11

Take the square root of both sides

b = 67.42

Hence, the maximum base length of the building is 67.42 cm
