Math Problem Statement
answer all of these quetions given in the image attached and give a breif explanation of why
Solution
I can see the questions from the image now. Let's solve them one by one:
Question 7:
How many minutes are there in hours and minutes?
We know there are 60 minutes in an hour. So to convert hours to minutes: Thus, the total number of minutes is: The correct answer is:
- D)
Question 8:
Sequence of operations:
- Add 5 to a number .
- Divide by 8.
- Subtract 1.
- Multiply by 8.
We start with the expression , and follow the operations in order:
- Add 5 to :
- Divide by 8:
- Subtract 1:
- Multiply by 8:
The correct answer is:
- C)
Question 9:
Simplifying the expression:
- Distribute the terms:
- Simplify by combining like terms:
The correct answer is:
- B)
Question 10:
Evaluate when :
Substitute into the expression:
Summing these gives:
The correct answer is:
- 5.55
Question 11:
If and are positive integers and , what is the value of ?
We will try values of to find integer solutions:
- Let :
Thus, when , .
The correct answer is:
Question 12:
If , , and , find the value of the expression:
Substitute the values of , , and :
The correct answer is:
Do you need more details on any of the explanations or the concepts involved?
Here are 5 related questions to deepen your understanding:
- How would the answer in Question 7 change if there were more than 60 minutes in an hour?
- Can you generalize the sequence of operations in Question 8 for other numbers instead of 5?
- How would you simplify a different expression involving multiple variables like Question 9?
- How does the concept of substitution help in solving Question 10?
- What other systems of equations can you solve by trial and error like in Question 11?
Tip: When working with equations, always remember to follow the order of operations—parentheses, exponents, multiplication/division, and then addition/subtraction.
