Marneshia walked three over eight of a mile in three over five of an hour. What equation can be used to calculate her unit rate

Rama09 [41]

3/8 mile in 3/5 hour
$\frac{ \frac{3}{8} }{ \frac{3}{5} }$
we want to find miles per hour or m/1h
convert 3/5 to 1 by multiplying it by 5/3
keep the fraction the same by multiply ing the whole thing by
$\frac{ \frac{5}{3} }{ \frac{5}{3} }$ to get

$\frac{ \frac{15}{24} }{ \frac{15}{15} }$ =
$\frac{ \frac{5}{8} }{ 1}$ =5/8 miles per hour

PLEASE HELP!!!! Show steps and explain how to get the answer please <br><br> Solve 5x-16=4(x-8)-3x

Anvisha [2.4K]

5x-16 = 4(x-8)-3x

first expand what is in parenthesis

4(x-8) = 4x-32

so now you have 5x-16 = 4x-32-3x

subtract 3x from 4x on the right side of equation 4x-3x = x

5x-16 = x -32

subtract 1x from each side to get

4x-16 = -32

add 16 to both sides to get 4x=-16

x = -16/4 = -4

x=-4

A person 44-ftft tall casts a shadow 1313-ftft long. at the same time, a nearby tree casts a shadow 3434-ftft long. find the

3241004551 [841]

The ratio of height : shadow =44/1313

Therefore height of the tree,x=3434*(44/1313)
=115.08 ft

If you meant 13 and 34 as the length of shadows respectively, then also x=115.08 ft
