Can someone explain how this equation is solved? I have it already solved but I don't understand how the outcome is got but here is the problem. Selling price=(1+r)(original cost)
63=(1+r)(42)
1.5=1+r
r=0.5

How did we go from that first part of the problem to the second; what was done exactly?

With these: 18/36 = 1/? missing number change 1 5/8 to improper fraction. change 19/5 to a mixed number.

The graph of f(x), shown below, resembles the graph of g(x) = x2, but it has been changed somewhat. which of the following could be the equation of f(x)?

As part of an annual fundraiser to raise money for diabetes research, diane joined a bikeathon. the track she biked on was 1,920 yards long. diane biked 38.5 laps. her sponsors agreed to donate an amount of money for each mile she biked. how many miles did she bike? first fill in the blanks on the left side using the ratios shown. then write your answer. given ratios: 5280ft / 1 mi , 1 mi /5280 ft , 1,920 yards / 1 lap , 1 lap / 1,920 yards , 3 ft / 1 yard , 1 yard / 3 ft. blanks: 38.5 laps / 1 yard x (blank) x (blank) x (blank) = (blank) miles i'm really confused on how to do this, and the explanations aren't exactly . if you could walk me through how to do this, it would be greatly appreciated.
