3/4 of a mile in 2/3 of an hour, what is the unit rate?

il63 [147K]

Answer

We want a unit rate where

1 is in the denominator,

so we divide top and bottom by 2

3 miles ÷ 2

2 hours ÷ 2

=

1.5 miles

1 hour

=

1.5 miles

hour

= 1.5 miles per hour

Martha has driven about 2/3 the distance she needs to go to reach her aunt's house. Her brother Jackson is making the same trip

Harman [31]

The answer is A. Martha has a shorter distance left to get to the aunt’s house than Jackson since 2/3 is .667 or 67%. Therefore this statement is false

Find the number of the different ways, for 3 students to sit on 7 seats in one row.

qwelly [4]

Answer:

210

Step-by-step explanation:

Here comes the problem from Combination.

We are being asked to find the number of ways out in which 3 students may sit on 7 seats in a row. Please see that in this case the even can not be repeated.

Let us start with the student one. For him all the 7 seats are available to sit. Hence number of ways for him to sit = 7

Let us see the student second. For him there are only 6 seats available to sit as one seat has already been occupied. Hence number of ways for him to sit = 6

Let us see the student third. For him there are only 5 seats available to sit as two seat has already been occupied. Hence number of ways for him to sit = 5

Hence the total number of ways for three students to be seated will be

7 x 6 x 5

=210

A line goes through the points (5, -1) and (7, -5). What is a possible equation to a new line that is perpendicular?

Leya [2.2K]

Ok, so you are given an equation in standard form, 5x+4y=2, and a point, (7, 5). You are being asked to write the equation for a line that is parallel to the equation in standard from, and that includes the point (7, 5).

First, let's start by finding the slope of your new line. We know that it needs to have the same slope as 5x+4y=2, because parallel lines have the same slopes. To do that, we need to put the equation into slope-intercept form (y=mx+b), which means we need to isolate the "y."

5x+4y=2

-5x -5x (subtract 5x from both sides to move it to the right side of your equation)

4y = 2 - 5x

/4 /4 /4 (divide all the terms by 4 to get "y" by itself)

y = (1/2) - (5/4)x ... I suggest leaving your slope as a fraction.

Now, we know that our slope, m , is going to be -(5/4).

Next, we are going to use our slope, -(5/4), and point, (7, 5), to find the b-value (y-intercept) of your new line. Let's plug in what we know:

y = 5

m = -(5/4)

x = 7

y=mx+b

5=(-5/4)(7) + b -> I plugged in what we knew for y, m, and x.

5 = -(35/4) + b -> I multiplied the numbers in the numerator (5 x 7) to get 35/4

20/4 = -(35/4) + b -> I converted 5 into a faction with a denominator of 4 by multiplying by (4/4)

+(35/4) +(35/4) -> I add (35/4) to both sides to isolate b

55/4 = b ... or b = 13.74

Answer:

m = -(5/4)

b = 13.75
