Answer: 48s+12p-18 this is the correct answer i just took the test
23/4 miles is as much as 5 3/4 miles. We can also write it as a decimal, because 5 3/4 = 5,75 miles.
If Ammar hikes 5,75 miles in 1 1/4 hour, then we need to find out what distance does he hike in 1/4 hour (15 minutes). To do that we can just divide 5,75 by 5 (because dividing 1 1/4 by 5 will give us 1/4 we're looking for).
5,75 / 5 = 1,15
It means that in one hour Ammar hikes 5,75 - 1,15 = 4,6 miles.
We can also write it as a fraction:
4,6 = 4 6/10 = 4 3/5 = 23/5 miles
Just pick whichever form you like :)
Answer:
6. b
7.
8. d
9. a
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm not sure what 7 is but I can assure you that 6, 8, and 9 are correct
There are standard formulas for this type of problem. However, it can also be solved by a combination of simple steps.
First, the shortest distance from the point (3,5) to the line y = x +4 (line1) will be along a straight line perpendicular to line1. Give the perpendicular line the name line2. Since the slope of line1 is 1, the slope of line2 will be -1.
Second, since line2 must go through (3,5) and also have a slope of -1, the point slope form can be used for line2:
y - 5 = (-1) (x -3)
So the equation of line2 is y = -x +8.
Third, the point of intersection of line1 and line2 can be found by solving the set of equations:
y = x +4
y = -x + 8
The solution of this set of two equations is x = 2, y = 6 i.e. the point (2,6) .
Fourth, the distance formula can be used to find the distance between (3,5) and (2,6)
d = sqrt( (3-2)2 + (5-6)2 ) = sqrt(2)
This is the desired distance.
