Answer:

Rhea's estimation is unreasonable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Identify what you know:

1) Rhea calculates that she can write 1.25 pages every 2 hours

2) Rhea is calculating how long it would take her to write 6 pages.

Using Rhea's initial calculation, we can figure out roughly, how long it would take her to finish 6 pages.

First we need to divide 6 by 1.25, to figure out how many "2 hour" periods it would take Rhea.

6/1.25 = 4.8

4.8 x 2 = 9.6

It would take Rhea roughly 9.6 hours to finish 6 pages, which is 3.6 hours more than her original estimation. Thus, her estimate is unreasonable.

Select all equations that can represent the question: "How many groups of 45 are in 1?" A ?⋅1=45? Times 1 is equal to 4 fifths B

Aleonysh [2.5K]

This question is not correctly written.

Complete Question

Select all equations that can represent the question: "How many groups of 4/5 are in 1?" A ?⋅1=4/5? Times 1 is equal to 4 fifths B 1⋅4/5=?1 times 4 fifths is equal to ? C 4/5÷1=?4 fifths divided by 1 is equal to ? D ?⋅4/5=1? Times 4 fifths is equal to 1 E 1÷4/5=?1 divided by 4 fifths is equal to ?

Answer:

D ?⋅4/5=1 = ? Times 4 fifths is equal to

E 1÷4/5=? = 1 divided by 4 fifths is equal to

Step-by-step explanation:

How many groups of 4/5 are in 1?

The operation used to solve this is that Division operation.

Hence, we solve it by saying:

1 ÷ 4/5 = ?

= 1× 5/4 = ?

5/4 = ?

Cross Multiply

5 = 4 × ?

? = 5/4

The equations that can represent the question: is

Option D ?⋅4/5=1 = ? Times 4 fifths is equal to

Option E 1÷4/5=? = 1 divided by 4 fifths is equal to

In the figure below, points M, P, H, J, and K lie in plane Z.

marishachu [46]

Answers:

(a) LN
(b) PHJ
(c) K
(d) HK

===================================================

Explanation:

Part (a)

Lines LN and PN have the point N in common. This is the intersection point.

-----------------

Part (b)

To name a plane, pick any three non-collinear points that are inside it. We cannot pick points H, J, K together because infinitely many planes pass through it. Imagine the piece of flat paper able to rotate around this axis (like a propeller). Having the points not all on the same line guarantees we form exactly one unique plane.

I'll pick the non-collinear points P, H and J to get the name Plane PHJ. Other answers are possible.

------------------

Part (c)

Points H, J and K are collinear as they are on the same line. Pick either H or K to fill out the answer box. I'll go with point K

------------------

Part (d)

Point P and line HK are coplanar. They exist in the same flat plane, or on the same sheet of flat paper together.

We can think of that flat plane as the ground level while something like point N is underground somewhere. So point N and anything on that ground plane wouldn't be coplanar.

Note: there are other possible names for line HK such as line JH or line JK. The order doesn't matter when it comes to naming lines.
