Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

2 hours to write the story.

1/3 of an hour remaining to complete the story.

20 minutes remaining.

(Read the explanation for further details.)

Step-by-step explanation:

1.Based on the given information, set up an equation;

(1 2/3) hours ; (5/6) story

Convert to improper fractions;

(1 2/3) ; (5/6)

(5/3) ; (5/6)

2. Solve;

(5/3) ; (5/6)

divide both sides by (5/6)

(5/3) ; (5/6)

/(5/6)   /(5/6)

Dividing a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal

(5/3)/(5/6) ; (5/3)/(5/3)

(5/3)*(6/5) ; (5/3)*(3/5)

2 ; 1

2 hours; 1 story

3. Solve for the time remaining;

Subtract the amount of time elapsed from that total amount of time

total time - time used

2 hours - 1 2/3 hours

Convert to improper fractions

2 - 5/3

1/3 hour

Convert to minutes

20 minutes

1.) Select the correct equation for the following situation. Mariana had 134
crystals in her collection. This was 38 less than Rajesh's collection. How
many crystals are in Rajesh's collection?

38r = 134
r+ 38 = 134
r - 38 = 134
38 - r = 134

Answers

Answer:

r minus 38 equals to 134 this might be m not certain

The correct equation is, [tex]r-38=134[/tex] and Rajesh have 172 crystals .

Let us consider that, Rajesh had r  crystals.

Mariana had 134  crystals in her collection.

Since, Rajesh has 38 more crystal than Marina . So , if we subtract 38 from crystals Rajesh have then both have equal number of crystals.

So,     [tex]r-38=134[/tex]

Now, find crystals present in Rajesh collection.

                   [tex]r-38=134\\\\r=134+38=172[/tex]

Thus, Rajesh have 172 crystals .

Mrs. Reyna is planning to fence her vacant lot for a parking space. The desired length of the lot is 6 m longer than its width. What will be the possible dimensions of the rectangular parking space if it should be less than 40m2?
(Hint: length x width = Area of rectangle)

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Area of the rectangle =Length × width

Given

The desired length of the lot is 6 m longer than its width, then L = 6+W

A = LW

40 = (6+W)W

40= 6W+W²

W²+6W -40 = 0

W²+10W-4W-40 = 0

W(w+10)-4(w+10) = 0

W+10 = 0 and w-4 = 4

W = -10 and w = 4

Width can't be negative

W = 4m

Since L = 6+w

L = 6+4

L = 10m

Hence the possible dimension s 4m by 10m

What is the slope of a line with the equation y = 5x + ⅖ ?

Answers

Answer:

The slope would be 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason why it would be five is because the slope formula is y=mx+b with m being your slope and b being your y-intercept.

Answer:

slope: 5

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex] is the equation used to find the slope of an equation. The slope is ALWAYS the "m" value. So.... in this equation y=5+2/5... the "m" value is 5.... making the slope of the equation 5.

Liza’s age is two more than thrice the age of her younger sister.if her sister is 5 years old, how old is Liza?

Answers

Answer:

17 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

sisters age:5

5×3+2=17.

Answer:

Liza is 17 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ley 'x' be the age of Liza's younger sister

As Liza’s age is two more than thrice the age of her younger sister

so the equation of Liza's age will be:

Liza's age = 3x+2

As x = 5 years is Liza's younger sister age

so

Liza's age = 3(5)+2

                 = 15+2

                  = 17 years

Therefore, Liza is 17 years old.

Which measure of Center would be most effected if 50 was added to the following data set? 10, 14, 15, 15, 18, 20​

Answers

Answer:

The mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean because 50 is a lot bigger number than the numbers in the list.

The median (the middle number in an ordered list) would still be 15. Also the mode (15) will also stay the same.

The original mean = sum of the 6 numbers divided  by 6

= 92/5 = 15.3.

When 50 is added the mean is (92 + 50) / 7 =  20.3.

Answer:

The mean

Step-by-step explanation:

Because mean is the main measure of center that we solve first before solving the others

Grace and Zoe like to jump rope grades jump 66 times a minute Zoe jumps 56 times a minute they both Count Their jumps today and together they jump 1266 times in the total of 21 minutes how long did each girl jump

Answers

Answer:

Grace jumps for 9 minutes.

Zoe jumps for 12 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the time for which Grace jumps the rope = [tex]x[/tex] minutes

Let the time for which Zoe jumps the rope = [tex]y[/tex] minutes

As per question statement:

[tex]x+y=21 ..... (1)[/tex]

Number of times Grace jumps in one minute = 66

Number of times Zoe jumps in one minute = 56

Number of times Grace jumps in [tex]x[/tex] minutes = 66

Number of times Zoe jumps in [tex]y[/tex] minutes = 56

As per question statement:

[tex]66x+56y=1266 ...... (2)[/tex]

Multiplying equation (1) with 66 and subtracting equation (2) from it:

[tex]10y = 1386 - 1266\\\Rightarrow 10y=120\\\Rightarrow y =\bold{12\ min}[/tex]

By equation (1):

[tex]x=21-12=\bold{9\ min}[/tex]

Therefore, the answer is:

Grace jumps for 9 minutes.

Zoe jumps for 12 minutes.
