The distance between the refreshment stands is 440 feet

<h3>Calculating distance </h3>

From the question, we are to determine how far apart are the refreshment stands in feet

From the given information,

The parade route is 3/4 mile long

and

There are refreshment stands at the <u>beginning</u> and <u>end</u> of the route. And there will also be <u>8 refreshment stands</u> along the route.

This means there will be 10 refreshment stands in all.

If there are 10 refreshment stands in all, then there will be 9 spaces between the refreshment stands.

∴ The distance between <u>any two refreshment</u> stands will be

3/4 mile ÷ 9 = 3/36 mile = 1/12 mile

Now, we will convert this to feet

NOTE: 1 mile = 5280 feet

∴ 1/12 mile = 1/12 × 5280 feet

= 440 feet

Hence, the distance between the refreshment stands is 440 feet.

Find the explicit formula for the general nth term of the arithmetic sequence described below. Simplify the formula and reduce a
NemiM [27]

Answer:

an = 4/3n - 13/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first term is a1,

a24 = a1 + 23d

83/3 = a1 + 4/3* 23

a1 =    83/3 - 92/3

a1 = -9/3 = -3.

So the nth term an =  -3 + 4/3(n - 1)

an = -3 + 4/3 n - 4/3

an = 4/3n - 13/3

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Sample = 1046

Population = All adults.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Statistics, a sample can be defined as a set of items, objects or individuals collected, selected or drawn from a population. Thus, a sample is a subset of a population. In this scenario, the sample is 1046.

On the other hand, population can be defined as the total number of individuals in a survey. Thus, all the adults are a population.

A ship leaves port and travels due west for 30 knots, then changes course to S 30° W and travels 50 more knots. Find the bearing
leva [86]

Answer:

  232°

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a couple of ways to find the desired direction. Perhaps the most straightforward is to add up the coordinates of the travel vectors.

  30∠270° +50∠210° = 30(cos(270°), sin(270°)) +50(cos(210°), sin(210°))

  = (0, -30) +(-43.301, -25) = (-43.301, -55)

Then the angle from port is ...

  arctan(-55/-43.301) ≈ 231.79° . . . . . . . 3rd quadrant angle

The bearing of the ship from port is about 232°.

<em>Comment on the problem statement</em>

The term "knot" is conventionally used to indicate a measure of speed (nautical mile per hour), not distance. It is derived from the use of a knotted rope to estimate speed. Knots on the rope were typically 47 ft 3 inches apart. As a measure of distance 30 knots is about 1417.5 feet.
