One-fifth of the length of a foot-race is 3 miles. Find the length of the race

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

let's call the entire length of the foot race we are looking for:  d

for distance.

We can then rewrite this problem as:

One-third of  d

is 5 miles. What is  d .

When dealing with fractions in this way the word "of" means to multiply. So we can write this problem in algebraic form as:

1 3 × d = 5

We can multiply each side of the equation by  

3  to solve for  d

while keeping the equation balanced:

3 × 1 3 × d = 3 × 5

3 3 × d = 15  1 × d = 15 d = 15

The length of the race is 15 miles.

The scale of a map says that 4 cm represents 5 km. a. what distance on the map (in centimetres) represents an actual distance of 4 kilometres? b. What is the actual number of kilometres that is represented by 5 centimetres on the map?

Answers

Answer:

a. 3 cm

b. 6 km

Step-by-step explanation:

to be completely honest, I just shoot my answer based on the pattern.

if you notice that when the scale is 4 cm, the actual distance is 5 km. When the distance is 4 km, the scale should probably be 3 cm. It's the same with the 5 cm scale, then the distance should be 6 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Use ratios to solve it

a)

4 cm → 5 kmx cm → 4 km

x = 4*4/5 = 3.2 cm

b)

4 cm → 5 km5 cm → x km

x = 5*5/4 = 6.25 km

Oliver drove the first 90 miles of his journey in 1.5 hours and the remaining 120 miles in 3 hours. What was the total average speed?

Answers

Answer:

46.6666667

Step-by-step explanation:

we need to know the TOTAL average speed. To do that, we need to know how to get the speed, which is distance/time. Now we have to substitute. The equation we get is: s= (90+120)/(1.5+3). After solving, you should get s= (210miles)/(4.5hrs). Now all we have to do is divide, which equals 46.6666667.

Hope this helps! (:

The required average speed of Oliver is 46.67 miles per hour.

Given that,
Oliver drove the first 90 miles of his journey in 1.5 hours and the remaining 120 miles in 3 hours, what was the total average speed is to be determined.

What is speed?

Speed is defined as when an object is subjected to move, the distance covered by the object in a certain time interval is the speed of that object.

What is average?

The average of the values is the ratio of the total sum of values to the number of values.

Here,
Total distance traveled = 90 + 120 = 210 miles
Total time taken = 1.5 + 3 = 4.5 hours
Average speed = distance / time
                       = 210 / 4.5
                       = 46.67 miles per hour

Thus, the required average speed of Oliver is 46.67 miles per hour.

Question: Find the equation of the line specified.

Perpendicular to 3x + y = -7 and passing through (1,8)

(i really need an explanation on how to do this)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y=\frac{1}{3}x+7.6666[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

First we must convert  [tex]3x+y=-7[/tex] into slope-intercept form!

To do this we simply just need to subtract -3x from the 3x on the left and move it to the right side. This would result in: [tex]y = -3x-7[/tex]

Now that we have our slope-intercept form for the equation remember that to find the equation that is perpendicular to the given equation, you need to use the opposite reciprocal of the slope. This would be [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] as that is the reciprocal and opposite of [tex]-\frac{3}{1}[/tex]

Now in order to find the "b" variable of the equation that goes through the ordered pair (1, 8) we need to plug it in to the given equation!

That equation would be: [tex]y=\frac{1}{3}x-7[/tex]

Given that x = 1 and y = 8 we can plug those in like so:

[tex]8=\frac{1}{3}(1)+b[/tex]

(make sure to set the -7 to b as that's what we're solving for)

1 / 3 is 0.3333 (infinitely repeating)

Next we need to subtract 0.3333 from 8, which would be 7.6666 (infinitely repeating) Remember that the variable needs to be "alone"!

Now we have our "b" for the equation! Hence the equation would be:

[tex]y=\frac{1}{3}x+7.6666[/tex]

(you can also use [tex]\frac{23}{3}[/tex] for the b as that is the "exact form" of 1 / 3 but they both work)

Hope this helps! Feel free to ask questions!

Which is more, 9 pints or 16 cups?

Answers

Answer:

9 pints

Step-by-step explanation:

there are two cups in a pint, so we need to divide 16 by 2 to convert the cups to pints.

16 ÷ 2 = 8

9 is greater than 8, so 9 pints.

Two spotters of tornado are on a road running east-west and are 35 miles apart. The west man spots a tornado at bearing N 43° E and the east man spots the same tornado on a bearing of N 59° W. How far is the tornado from each man and how far is the tornado from the road?

Answers

The distance between the tornado, and both spotters is an illustration of bearing and distance.

The distance between the tornado and the spotter at the west is 30.67 milesThe distance between the tornado and the spotter at the east is 24.40 milesThe distance between the tornado and the road is 20.91 miles

See attachment for the positioning of the tornado, and the two spotters.

First, we calculate the angle T.

[tex]\mathbf{\angle T + 43 + 59 = 180}[/tex] ---- Sum of angles in a triangle

[tex]\mathbf{\angle T +102 = 180}[/tex]

Subtract 102 from both sides

[tex]\mathbf{\angle T = 78}[/tex]

From the attached figure:

y represents the distance between the tornado and the spotter at the westz represents the distance between the tornado and the spotter at the east x represents the distance between the tornado and the road

To calculate y, we make use of the following sine formula

[tex]\mathbf{\frac{y}{sin(59)} = \frac{35}{sin(78)}}[/tex]

Make y the subject

[tex]\mathbf{y = \frac{35}{sin(78)} \times sin(59)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{y = 30.67}[/tex]

To calculate z, we make use of the following sine formula

[tex]\mathbf{\frac{z}{sin(43)} = \frac{35}{sin(78)}}[/tex]

Make z the subject

[tex]\mathbf{z = \frac{35}{sin(78)} \times sin(43)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{z = 24.40}[/tex]

Next, we calculate x, using the following sine trigonometry ratio

[tex]\mathbf{sin(59) = \frac{x}{z}}[/tex]

Make x the subject

[tex]\mathbf{x = z \times sin(59)}[/tex]

Substitute [tex]\mathbf{z = 24.40}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{x = 24.40 \times sin(59)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{x = 20.91}[/tex]

Hence, the required distances are 30.67 miles, 24.40 miles and 20.91 miles.
