Unit_Conversion_Word_Problems/348944: if you ran 100 yards in 9.8 seconds how fast were you going in miles per hour? 1 solutions Answer 249550 by ankor@dixie-net.com(15746)   on 2010-09-28 09:49:10 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! 100 yards in 9.8 seconds how fast were you going in miles per hour? : Find yds/sec: 10.20408 yds/sec : Find mph = 6.957 mph I realized that I screwed this one up yesterday, but then it slipped my mind til now. Of course they are using yards here and there are 1760 yds in a mile, it should be: Find mph = 20.872 mph : I apologize for the mistake. Carl

Rectangles/348912: Where to start on how to solve the formula: the perimeter of a rectangle garden is 74 yards the width of the garden is two yards less than twice the length. find the width and length? 1 solutions Answer 249546 by ankor@dixie-net.com(15746)   on 2010-09-28 09:38:19 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Where to start on how to solve the formula: the perimeter of a rectangle garden is 74 yards the width of the garden is two yards less than twice the length. find the width and length? : Start with the perimeter formula 2L + 2W = 74 simplify, divide by 2 L + W = 37 : "the width of the garden is two yards less than twice the length." W = (L - 2) : Using our simplified perimeter formula, replace W with (L-2) L + (L-2) = 37 2L = 37 + 2 2L = 39 L = L = 19.5 : Find W: W = L - 2 W = 19.5 - 2 W = 17.5 : : Confirm this in the original perimeter formula 2(19.5) + 2(17.5) = 39 + 35 = 74

Expressions-with-variables/348991: Perform the indicated operations and simplify. (x+5)(x-3)/x+2 times 1/(x+5)(x+2) I multiplied right across and I got (x+5)(x-3)/8x^3+24x+20 I don't know if that's what I'm suppose to do. 1 solutions Answer 249538 by ankor@dixie-net.com(15746)   on 2010-09-28 09:30:28 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! * It's a lot easier if you can cancel, here you can cancel (x+5), then you have: * =
