Dewayne read 3/8 of a chapter of his history book in 1/5 of an hour. At this rate how many chapters of his history book can he read in 1 hour

6/8 of a chapter

Step-by-step explanation:

3/8 = 1/2 of an hour

1/2 + 1/2 = 1

Basic Fact ^^

So, we need to add 3/8 + 3/8 or 3/8 x 2

We get : 6/8

He didn't read a whole chapter but he did read 6/8 of a chapter.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 60 min in an hour - 1/5 of an hour=20mim

3/8 x 5 = 15/8 = 1 & 7/8 chapters

x = ±sqrt(10)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 2x² = -15

subtract 5 from each side

5-5 - 2x² = -15-5

-2x^2   = -20

divide by -2 on each side

-2x^2   /-2= -20/-2

x^2 =10

take the square root on each side

sqrt(x^2 )=±sqrt(10)

x = ±sqrt(10)

check:

5 - 2x² = -15

+sqrt(10)

5 - 2(sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

-sqrt(10)

5 - 2(-sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

step-by-step explanation:

it would be 9 because when it is the nine is over five so that would mean it rounds up to 90 or 9
