Answer: -5/12
Step-by-step explanation: Before multiplying two fractions together by multiplying across their numerators and multiplying across their denominators, you should always try to cross-cancel as your first step.
So in this problem, the 2 and 8 cross-cancel to 1 and 4.
Also, watch out for your signs. In this problem we have a negative times a positive so we know that our answer will be negative.
Now we can multiply across the numerators and across the denominators.
So we have 5 · 1 which is 5 and 4 · 3 which is 12.
So our answer is -5/12.
Be very careful with your signs!
Answer:
27,0 the distance away from the school
Step-by-step explanation:
Apply the formula for equation of a straight line;
y=mx+c where c is the y intercept , and m is the gradient
From the graph, the slope is negative where speed decreases with increase in time
Find the gradient by applying the formula;
Taking y₁=24, y₂=20, x₁=9, x₂=12
Then;
write the equation of the function as ;
y=mx+c, c=36( the y-intercept when x=0) hence the equation is;
To get x-intercept, substitute value of y with 0
This means that the x-intercept is 27 ,and this means you will require 27 minutes to cover the whole distance to the school.
