Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
Marcus is not correct because 1/12 converts to the repeating decimal 0.8333... but 3/12 converts to 0.25 which is not a repeating decimal.
Answer:
x>-1
Step-by-step explanation:
solve this normally like a linear equation
3x + 1 >x-1
collect like terms
3x-x>-1-1
2x>-2
x>-2/2
x>-1
Answer:
You can buy atleast 5 chicken sandwiches! (12 / 2.25 is 5.33333 (repeating))
Question:
You are in a bike race. When you get to the first checkpoint, you are 2/5 of the distance to the second checkpoint. When you get to the second check point, you are 1/4 of the distance to the finish. If the entire race is 40 miles, what is the distance between the start and the first check point?
Answer: 4 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Let distance between start to first checkpoint = x
First checkpoint to second checkpoint = 2/5 of x
Distance of start to checkpoint 1 = ( 2/5 of start to checkpoint 2)
Distance of start to checkpoint 2 = (1/4 of start to finish)
If start to checkpoint 2 = 1/4 of start to finish
Then,
Distance of start to checkpoint 1 = ( 2/5 * 1/4 of start to finish)
Distance of start to checkpoint 1 = 2/20 of start to finish = 1/10 of start to finish
Entire race = 40 miles = distance from start to finish
1/ 10 of 40
= ( 1/10) × 40
= 4 miles
Ratio 5:4
Total shares = 5+4 = 9
then to find for 1 share = 54/9 = 6
So Sam share = 6 x 5 = 30
Bethan share = 6 x 4 = 24
Poof: 30+24 = 54
