Answer:
The sum of half of a number and three-fourths is at least five and one quarter
Step-by-step explanation:
It's all about making sense of an English sentence.
"half the sum ..." is different from "the sum of half ..."
And ...
"at least" and "not less than" mean the same (≥)
"not more than" and "at most" mean the same (≤)
_____
Since all of the expressions are written out in words, it is a matter of matching the ideas expressed. That's a problem in reading comprehension, not math.
__
"One-half x + three-fourths [is] greater-than-or-equal-to 5 and one-fourth"
means the same as ...
"The sum of half of a number and three-fourths is at least five and one quarter"
Answer:
60 and 100
Step-by-step explanation:
Look for 2 multiples of 20 which are also factors of 300.
No need to go all Mathematician.
It's simple, no long explanation needed
Answer:
106.1 ft/s
Step-by-step explanation:
You know the diagonal of a square is √2 times the length of one side, so the distance from 3rd to 1st is 90√2 feet ≈ 127.2792 ft.
The speed is the ratio of distance to time:
speed = distance/time = 127.2972 ft/(1.2 s) ≈ 106.1 ft/s.
_____
In case you have never figured or seen the computation of the diagonal of a square (the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle), consider the square with side lengths 1. The diagonal will cut the square into halves that are isosceles right triangles with leg lengths 1. Then the Pythagorean theorem can be used to find the diagonal length d:
d² = 1² + 1²
d² = 2
d = √2
Since this is the diagonal for a side length of 1, any other side length will serve as a scale factor for this value. A square with a side length of 90 ft will have a diagonal measuring 90√2 ft.
<span>The question asks us to determine the values for a and b in the linear equation. Linear equation in the slope-intercept form is : y = a x + b. This equation is: y = 2.25 x - 3.15. The slope: a = 2.25 and the y-intercept is: b = -3.15. Answer: a = 2.25 and b = - 3.15.</span>
