Your tutor asks you to record the time you spend using IT during the week. You have recorded this time below: Day Time Monday 0.

Let us convert all figures into decimals so that we can compare them easily.

Monday 0.3

Tuesday 15% = 0.15

Wednesday 1/6 = 0.1666

Thursday 0.2

Friday 1/8 = 0.125

Clearly, I spent the least amount of time on Friday using IT and the time is 0.125 or 1/8.

Alan mixes 1 1/3 cups of milk with a can of condensed soup. He makes a total of 2 5/8 cups of soup. How many cups of condensed s

lions [1.4K]

What kind of soup needs milk? I don't know any...

anyway, the amount of the liquid at the end was 2 5/8 and milk was 1 1/3 - we need to substract the amount of milk from the amount of total liquid afterwards:

$2 \frac{5}{8} -1 \frac{1}{3}$
bring the fraction to the same form:
$2 \frac{15}{24} -1 \frac{8}{24}$

substracting:

$1 \frac{7}{24}}$

which is also the answer

It costs dylan $x$ dollars to buy $3$ tickets to the zoo. he discovers that if he were to buy $5$ tickets, he would receive a to

jonny [76]

So, if Dylan has x dollars and he bought 3 tickets with them, the tickets were priced at k dollars per ticket. If he bought 5 tickets with the x dollars and saved 12 total dollars, it would be the same as buying the tickets with x-12 dollars, so we have:

$\frac{x}{3}=k\\ \frac{x-12}{5}=q$

So, with this we have:

$x=3k\\ x=5q+12$

If we're looking for a number that satisfies these constraints, we can work with modular arithmetic. We have:

$x\equiv 0 \pmod{3}\\ x\equiv 12 \pmod{5}$

So, we can use the chinese remainder theorem here. So, we clearly have x=3k, which means:

$3k\equiv12 \pmod{5} \implies\\ k \equiv 4 \pmod{5} \implies\\ k=5j+4$

So, since we have x=3k, we also have x=3(5j+4)=15j+12.

So, clearly j=0 won't work so we should have j=1. That means our money per ticket for the five tickets is:

$\frac{27-12}{5}=3$

And our money per three tickets is:

$\frac{27}{3}=9$

This is easily verifiable. Three tickets needs 27 dollars and 5 tickets needs 15 dollars, which is 12 less than 27 dollars. So we have our money per three dollar ticket at 6 more than money per five dollar.

What is the value of x? Enter your answer, as a decimal, in the box. x= A right triangle with vertices labeled as A, B, and C. S

____ [38]

x=3.95

Explanation

From the given information we find that the triangle is right angled at C. CB is the base,AC is the height and AB is the hypotenuse.

Given that D is the hypotenuse of the hypotenuse AB.

BC=6

BD=4.2

AD=x

the height and the base of the triangle is given.

Using pythagoras theorem, we can find the hypotenuse AB.

$AB=\sqrt{AC^2+CB^2} \\=\sqrt{5^2+6^2} \\=\sqrt{25+36} \\=\sqrt{61} \\$

D is the midpoint of AB

therefore AD=AB/2= $\sqrt{61}/2$

Which expression is equivalent to the expression below? StartFraction m + 3 Over m squared minus 16 EndFraction divided by Start

Kamila [148]

Option B: $\frac{1}{(m-4)(m-3)}$ is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The given expression is $\frac{(\frac{m+3}{m^2-16}) }{(\frac{m^2-9}{m+4} )}$

Simplifying the expression, we have,

$\frac{m+3}{m^{2}-16}\times\frac{m+4}{m^2-9}$

Factor the equations, $m^{2}-16\right$ and $m^{2}-9$ ,we get,

$m^{2}-16\right=m^{2}-4^{2}=(m+4)(m-4)$

$m^{2}-9=m^{2}-3^2=(m+3)(m-3)$

Substituting these factored expressions in the above expression, we have,

$\frac{m+3}{(m+4)(m-4)}\times\frac{m+4}{(m+3)(m-3)}$

Cancelling the common terms $m+3$ and $m+4$ , we get,

$\frac{1}{(m-4)(m-3)}$

Thus, the expression equivalent to $\frac{(\frac{m+3}{m^2-16}) }{(\frac{m^2-9}{m+4} )}$ is $\frac{1}{(m-4)(m-3)}$

Hence, Option B is the correct answer.
