well, putting the movie in fifths, she watched 3/5, the whole movie will be 5/5 = 1.

$\begin{array}{ccll} \stackrel{movie}{fraction}&hour\\ \cline{1-2} \frac{3}{5}&\frac{5}{8}\\[1em] \underset{whole}{1}&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{~~ \frac{3}{5}~~}{1}=\cfrac{~~ \frac{5}{8}~~}{x}\implies \cfrac{3}{5}x=\cfrac{5}{8}\implies \cfrac{3x}{5}=\cfrac{5}{8} \\\\\\ 24x=25\implies x = \cfrac{25}{24}\implies x = 1\frac{1}{24}\qquad \textit{1 hour, 2 minutes and 30 seconds}$

A line segment has endpoints (-5, 10) and (a,b) . If the midpoint of the segment is (13, -2), what is the absolute difference be

AlexFokin [52]

If the line segment point is D(-5, 10) and E(a,b) and the midpoint of the segment is F(13, -2) that mean
DE= 2*DF

You can directly find the distance of AC
Xdf= Xf-Xd= 13 - (-5)= 18
Ydf= Yf - Yd= -2 - 10= -12

Then add the distance of AB( which is 2*AC) to point D
Xe= a = Xd + 2*Xdf
a= -5 +2*18= 31

Ye= b = Yd + 2Yf
b= 10+ 2*-12= -14

<span>absolute difference between a and b:
|b-a|= </span>|-14-31|= 45
