It will take Lily \mathbf{   3 \dfrac{1}{5}  \ hours} } to read 3/5 of the book.

<h3>What is a word problem?</h3>

Word problems in mathematics involve a crucial understanding of the question and the use of the right mathematical concept to solve the real-life scenario.

From the information given:

  • Lily reads 1/4 of her book in 1 1/3 hours
  • If she continues reading at this pace;
  • She will read 3/5 of the book in x hours,

To determine the value of (x) in hours, we need to cross multiply the above terms and make (x) the subject of the formula.

By doing so, we have:

\mathbf{\dfrac{1}{4} \ books \times  (x) \ hours = \dfrac{3}{5} \ books \times 1 \dfrac{1}{3} \ hours }

\mathbf{   (x) =\dfrac{ \dfrac{3}{5} \ books \times 1 \dfrac{1}{3} \ hours}{\dfrac{1}{4} \ books} }

\mathbf{   (x) =\dfrac{ \dfrac{3}{5} \ books \times \dfrac{4}{3} \ hours}{\dfrac{1}{4} \ books} }

\mathbf{   (x) =\dfrac{ \dfrac{4}{5} \  \ hours}{\dfrac{1}{4} \ } }

\mathbf{   (x) =\dfrac{4}{5} \times\dfrac{4}{1} \   \ hours}{ } }

\mathbf{   (x) =\dfrac{16}{5}  \ hours} }

\mathbf{   (x) =3 \dfrac{1}{5}  \ hours} }  (as mixed number)

Some one help me... i need to match the meaning's to the roots
Ahat [919]

Answer:

1. cogon - to know

(A Latin word meaning ‘to learn’ gives rise to the English word root cogn. Primarily because of French, the root conn also comes from this root.)

2. cap - to take, seize

(this root word means to seize or take control of and is the base for other words such as "captivate" that means to attract or capture. Therefore, the root word "cap" means to take, or seize rather than to do, see or carry.)

3. sta, sti - to stand

(Proto-Indo-European root meaning "to stand, set down, make or be firm," with derivatives meaning "place or thing that is standing.")

4. pli, plic - to fold

(The English stem plic comes from a Latin root word meaning ‘fold,’ as in to “bend over on itself” or “bend in two.”)

5. duc - to lead

(The Latin root words duc and duct mean to ‘lead.’ Some common English vocabulary words that come from this root word include educate, reduce, produce, and product.)

6. vert - to turn (The Latin root word vert means ‘turn.’. For instance, when you invert something, you ‘turn’ it on its head, or upside-down.)

7. voc, vok - to call

(The Latin root word voc and its variant vok both mean “call.” These roots are the word origins of a fair number of English vocabulary words, including vocal, vocabulary, invoke, and provoke.

8. mis - to send  

(A prefix is a word part added to the beginning of a word. It changes the meaning of a word. Mis- is a prefix that is used in many words. Misunderstand, misguide, and misprint are all words that have the prefix mis- in them.)

9. ten, tain - to hold  

(The Latin root word ten means “hold.” This root is the word origin of many English vocabulary words, including maintenance, tenor, and tenacious)

10. nym - to name

(a combining form meaning “word,” “name”: pseudonym. [ultimately < Greek -ōnymos having the kind of name specified, comb. form representing ónyma, dial. variant of ónoma name])

Explanation:

The above are latin words and their meanings are next to each of them.
