Preeta watches an ant and beetle crawl in a hole in the ground. the beetle is 3/4 inch below ground level. the beetle climbs 1/3 the distance the ant is below the ground level. the beetle is now 2 1/2 inches below ground level. Let X be the position of the ant relative to ground level. what equation can be written to solve for X? solve the equation.​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1a:  [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{1}{3}x[/tex] = [tex]2\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

1b: See below

1c:  [tex]2\frac{3}{4}[/tex] inches between the beetle and ant

Step-by-step explanation:

1a. To build the equation, we need to see that the beetle started at 3/4th inches below ground level, then "climbed" (which is poor English, it should be descended) a certain distance, and then it ended up at 2 1/2 inches below ground. The distance "climbed" can be represented as 1/3X, where "X" is the ant's current distance. We would do 1/3rd times "X" to figure out how much the beetle climbed down.

So that means, if we added together the starting position of 3/4, plus the distance the beetle descended (1/3X), that would get us TO 2 1/2 inches below ground (the beetle's new current position). So therefore our equation is:

[tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{1}{3}x[/tex] = [tex]2\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

1b. Solve the equation written above from 1a.

[tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{1}{3}x[/tex] = [tex]2\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

-3/4     -3/4   [subtract 3/4 to start the process of getting x by itself]

[tex]\frac{1}{3}x[/tex] = 1[tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

*3/1   *3/1 [Multiply Reciprocal to get X by itself]

x= [tex]5\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

1c. So we take the position of the ant figured out on 1b (5 1/4 inches), and the new current position of the beetle (2 1/2 inches), and subtract them

5 1/4 - 2 1/2 =  [tex]2\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

In order to divide by a fraction, keep the first fraction, and multiply it by the reciprocal of the next fraction. So 2/5 divided by 4/7 is actually just 2/5 x 7/4. This equals 14/20, which is 7/10. So the answer is B. Hope this helps you!

Step-by-step explanation:

Our [tex]Rate[/tex] is [tex]23[/tex] miles per day.

Definition

Rate in Math - The speed of something happening in a certain amount of time, it is usually consistent.

Rate in Physics - Rate means rate of change. Basically, how much a certain quantity changes with respect to another quantity that is also changing. You may also sometimes hear the term gradient which describes the same thing.

To find how many miles she will run in 6 days we will multiply our [tex]Rate[/tex] by our Time, to find our distance, [tex](Miles, Physics)[/tex]

Our equation

[tex]23\cdot6[/tex]

What number is 133% of 200

Answers

Rewrite 133% as a decimal by dividing by 100:

133% = 1.33

Now multiply:

200 x 1.33 = 266

Answer: 266

133% of 200 = 266

Explanation:

133 of 200 can be written as:

133/200

To find a percentage, we need to find an equivalent fraction with the denominator 100. Multiply both numerator & denominator by 100

Multiply both numerator & denominator by 100 Therefore, the answer is 66.5%If you are using a calculator, simply enter 133÷200×100 which will give you 66.5 as the answer and as we know 66.5 is also known as 226.

f(-4) = -6

g(2) = -14

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate a function we must plug in the values of x. So for:

f(x) = 2x+2

we have:

f(-4) = 2(-4)+2

then we simplify:

f(-4) = -8+2

so f(-4) = -6

Now the same steps are taken for g(x) in which the answer would be -14.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = - 5 , then

y = - 5x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 2, 6 ) into the partial equation

6 = 10 + c ⇒ c = 6 - 10 = - 4

y = - 5x - 4 ← equation of line
