First you need to find the common denominator. Think of a number that both 2 and 5 can go in to evenly. 10 is the best number, so, make both denominators 10. What you do to the bottom, you must do to the top.
Now your equation is 5/10-2/10
Your answer is 3/10
Answer:
After 6 months, the interest generated by the investment would be $21.10.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine the interest that Preston McCord could earn by investing $ 1,400 in an account that pays 3.2% annual interest compounded monthly, leaving said money invested for a period of 6 months, it is necessary to perform the following calculation:
X = 1,400 x (1 + 0.032 / 6) ^ 0.5x6
X = 1,421.10
1421.10 - 1400 = 21.10
Thus, after 6 months, the interest generated by the account will be $ 21.10.
Answer:
2.5 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The relation between time, speed, and distance is ...
distance = speed × time
We can define t to be Stanley's swimming time. Then t+0.5 was his running time, and 2(t+0.5) was his biking time. His total distance covered is ...
64 = 9(t +0.5) +16(2(t +0.5)) +2.5(t)
64 = 43.5t +20.5 . . . . . . . simplify
43.5 = 43.5t . . . . . . . . . subtract 20.5
t = 1 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of t
Stanley swam for 1 hour, so the distance he covered while swimming was ...
(2.5 mi/h)(1 h) = 2.5 mi
Stanley covered 2.5 miles while swimming.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
Stanley ran for 1.5 hours, covering 9×1.5 = 13.5 miles. He biked for 3 hours, covering 16×3 = 48 miles. His total distance was 2.5 +13.5 +48 = 64 miles, as given.
Answer:
x=2.2
Step-by-step explanation:
- linear pairs are supplementary, meaning they add up to 180°
5x + 9 + 3x + 11 = 180
8x + 20 = 180
8x = 160
x = 20
- now plug in.
angle 1: 5(20) + 9 = 100 + 9 = 109°
angle 2: 3(20) + 11 = 60 + 11 = 71°
