Answer:
-54+36h
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the unit rate
in ft / sec of 300 yards / min.
We first have to elicit the conversion
values for each unit of measurement, this will allows us identify how much will
we multiply in order to get the goaled value.
Conversion values:
<span><span>1.
</span>1 yard = 3
feet</span>
<span><span>2.
</span>1 minute =
60 seconds</span>
Solution:
<span><span>
1.
</span>300 yards x
3 feet/1 yard = 900 feet</span>
<span><span>2.
</span>1 minute x
60 seconds / 1 minute = 60 seconds</span>
Thus, 900ft/60sec
Let's represent the two numbers by x and y. Then xy=60. The smaller number here is x=y-7.
Then (y-7)y=60, or y^2 - 7y - 60 = 0. Use the quadratic formula to (1) determine whether y has real values and (2) to determine those values if they are real:
discriminant = b^2 - 4ac; here the discriminant is (-7)^2 - 4(1)(-60) = 191. Because the discriminant is positive, this equation has two real, unequal roots, which are
-(-7) + sqrt(191)
y = -------------------------
-2(1)
and
-(-7) - sqrt(191)
y = ------------------------- = 3.41 (approximately)
-2(1)
Unfortunately, this doesn't make sense, since the LCM of two numbers is generally an integer.
Try thinking this way: If the LCM is 60, then xy = 60. What would happen if x=5 and y=12? Is xy = 60? Yes. Is 5 seven less than 12? Yes.
45/75 = 30/x
30*75 = 2250/45 = 50
EF = 50 in.
The answer in fraction form is exactly 1/13
The approximate answer in decimal form is 0.076923
To get this answer, note how there are four cards that have "2" on them. This is out of 52 total. So we divide the values: 4/52 = 1/13. Don't forget to fully reduce as much as possible.
To go from 1/13 to 0.076923, you would use a calculator or long division
