it can be used to calculate the length of a circular bracelet
Step-by-step explanation:
<h2><u><em>
81/24</em></u></h2><h2><u><em>
= 27/8</em></u></h2>
Mom drove for 11 hours.
Dad drove for 3 hours.
<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:
- Total distance = 895 miles
- Mom drove a speed of 65 mph
- Dad drove a speed of 60 mph
Let 'x' be the number of hours drove by mom.
Let 'y' be the number of hours drove by dad.
x + y = 14 ---------------(1)
65x + 60y = 895 ---------(2)
Multiply eq(1) by 60 and subtract eq(2) from (1),
60x + 60y = 840
-(<u>65x + 60y = 895</u>)
<u> -5x = -55 </u>
x = 55/5
x = 11
∴ Mom drove for 11 hours.
Substitute x=11 in eq(1)
11+y = 14
y = 3
∴ Dad drove for 3 hours.
<span>Well, the number is decimal form, is in the thousandths place, so the denominator, would be 1000's:
<em><u>0.275 = 275⁄1000</u></em></span><em><u> </u></em>
<span>Then, you have to Simplify 275⁄1000 In which, you would get: <em><u> 11⁄40</u></em></span><span><em><u> </u></em></span>
