Important: Please express fractions properly: use the " / " symbol to represent division. Your question should read:
"<span>A Mallard duck flies 5/6 of a mile in 1/60 of a hour. Find the rate (speed) at which it flies."
To do this, divide the distance flown by the elapsed time:
5
5/6 mile -----
----------------- = -------6------------- miles / hr
1/60 hour </span>
1
-----
60
to divide 5/6 by 1/60, write 5/6 and multiply that by the reciprocal of 1/60.
In other words, write 5/6, invert (1/60) and then multiply.
This comes out to (5)(60)
---------- mph
(6)(1)
Do not multiply here. Instead, reduce 60/6 to 10/1.
Can you now write out the final answer, in mph? (miles per hour)
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
B is the right one because the question says that every 4 executives can go into 1 office
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
let x represent the number of markers.
Let y represent the cost for x boxes of markers.
If we plot y on the vertical axis and x on the horizontal axis, a straight line would be formed. The slope of the straight line would be
Slope, m = (14 - 7)/(24 - 10)
m = 7/14 = 0.5
The equation of the straight line can be represented in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + c
Where
c = intercept
m = slope
To determine the intercept, we would substitute x = 24, y = 14 and m = 0.5 into y = mx + c. It becomes
14 = 0.5 × 24 + c = 12 + c
c = 14 - 12
c = 2
The equation would be
y = 0.5x + 2
