27 games were lost

fraction of games lost = 1 - $\frac{5}{14}$ = $\frac{14}{14}$ - $\frac{5}{14}$ = $\frac{9}{14}$

number of games lost = $\frac{9}{14}$ of 42

= $\frac{9}{14}$ × 42 = 27

A turtle walks 7/8 of a mile in 50 minutes. What is the unit rate when the turtle’s speed is expressed in miles per hour?

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

21/20

Step-by-step explanation:

a) One hour is equivalent to 60 minutes.

So we can multiply 50 minutes by the fraction $\frac{1 hour}{60 minutes}$ , so we could convert 50 minutes to hours.

It is:

$50 minutes * \frac{1 hour}{60 minutes}=\frac{50}{60}hours$

If we simplify the fraction, we have:

$50 minutes = \frac{5}{6}hours$

b) In order to express the turtle's speed in miles per hour, we have to divide

$\frac{7}{8}miles$ by $\frac{5}{6}hours$

So:

$\frac{\frac{7}{8}miles }{\frac{5}{6}hours }$

We simplify the expression by multiplying 7 mile by 6 and 8 by 5 hours:

$\frac{\frac{7}{8}miles }{\frac{5}{6}hours}=\frac{42 miles}{40 hours} =\frac{21 miles}{20 hours}$
