An athlete jumped 5.5 feet which was 1.1 times higher than the previous jumper how high did the previous athlete jump

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The previous jumper jumped p

The new jumper jumped p*1.1 and that was 5.5 ft

1.1p = 5

Divide each side by 1.1

1.1p/1.1 = 5.5/1.1

p = 5

The previous jumper jumped 5 ft

Answer 2
Answer:

Answer:

5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the previous jump be represented by j.  Then 1.1j = 5.5 ft.

Dividing both sides by 1.1, we get j = 5 ft.  This was the height of the previous jump.

Write the pairs of fractions as a pair of fractions with a common denominator3/10 and 2/5
1/3 and 3/4

Answers

Technically the first pair could be:
(3)/(10) and (4)/(10)
IF that isn't an answer choice,
(6)/(20) and (8)/(20)
Is correct as well
The second would be:
(4)/(12) and (9)/(12)
3/10 and 2/5 would turn into 3/10 and 4/10. You don't have to change 3/10 because that is the common denominator.

1/3 and 3/4 would turn into 4/12 and 9/12 because 3 can go into 12 four times, so you do 1 x 4 which gives you a fraction of 4/12. You do the same with 3/4 too.

What is 45 1/2% as a fraction in simplest form?

Answers

 For this case we have the following expression:
 45 1/2%
 Rewriting in decimal form we have:
 45.5%
 Then, the percentage in its numerical and decimal form is:
 45.5 * (1/100) = 0.455
 We now write the decimal in the form of a fraction.
 We have then:
 0.455 * (1000/1000) = 455/1000
 Simplifying the fraction we have:
 (455/1000) * ((1/5) / (1/5)) = 91/200
 Answer:
 The expression given in the form of fraction is:
 91/200

Final answer:

45 1/2% is equivalent to 91/200 as a fraction in simplest form.

Explanation:

To convert a percent to a fraction, we write the value of the percent as a fraction with a denominator of 100. In this case, 45 1/2% can be written as 45 1/2/100. To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2. Simplifying the fraction gives us the answer: 91/200.

C=85x+60 solve for x

Answers

C=85x+60 

c-60=85x       \ Subtract \ 60 \ from \ both \ sides 

(c-60)/(85) = x        \ Divide \ both \ sides \ by \ 85 

x= (c-60)/(85)
C=85x+60
Subtract 60 from both sides and you get c-60=85x divide both side by 85 and get c-60 over 85=c

7 times as much as sum of 1/3 and 4/5

Answers

So the formula is
7*(1/3+1/5) = x

First find the common denominator of the fractions.  In this case the common denominator of 3 and 5 is 15 so we must convert them to 15ths.  To do that we divide 15 by the denominator and take that answer and multiply the numerator by it.

So for 1/3 we take 15/3(denominator) = 5 and multiply the numerator (1) by it

5 * 1 = 5 so 1/3 converts to 5/15

Do the same for 1/5 we take 15/5 = 3 and multiply the numerator (4) by it

3*4 = 12 so 4/5 converts to 12/15

Now we add 5/15 and 12/15 = 17/15 so we have our formula now to

7*17/15

We make seven a fraction 7/1 and multiply across 7*17 = 119 and 15 * 1 = 15

We have 119/15 which when we divide and get 7 14/15 as your answer
find a common denominator aka 15
so 5/15 and 12/15
= 17/15 times 7/1
119/15
