There were 3 parts to Ritas race she ran the first part which was 4/9 of the total distance, in 20 minutes she ran the second pa

rt which was 2/5 of the remaining distance, in 12 minutes. She finally ran the third part in 15 minutes at the speed of 300 meters per minute.

Answer:

300 meters per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1</u>

Determine the fraction of the total distance for each part of the race.

Given:

  • 1st part of race = 4/9 of total distance
  • 2nd part of race = 2/5 of remaining distance

\begin{aligned} \implies \sf 2nd\:part & = \sf \dfrac{2}{5}\:of\:remaining\:distance\\ & = \sf \dfrac{2}{5} \times\left(1-\dfrac{4}{9}\right)\\& = \sf \dfrac{2}{9}\:of\:total\:distance\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}\implies \sf 3rd\:part & = \sf 1-1st\:part-2nd\:part\\& = \sf 1-\dfrac{4}{9}-\dfrac{2}{9}\\& = \sf \dfrac{1}{3}\:of\:total\:distance\end{aligned}

<u>Step 2</u>

Determine the distance of the third part of the race.

Given:

  • time = 15 minutes
  • speed = 300 meters per minute

\begin{aligned}\sf Distance & = \sf speed \times time\\& = \sf 300 \times 15\\& = \sf 4500 \:\:meters\end{aligned}

<u>Step 3</u>

If the third part of the race (which is 1/3 of the total distance) is 4500m, then the <u>distance of the whole race</u> is:

\begin{aligned} \sf Total\:distance & = \sf 4500 \times 3\\& = \sf 13500\:meters \end{aligned}

<u>Step 4</u>

Determine the distance of the 1st part of the race:

\begin{aligned}\sf Distance\:of\:1st\:part\:of\:race & = \sf \dfrac{4}{9} \:of\:total\:distance\\& = \sf \dfrac{4}{9} \times 13500\\& = \sf 6000\:meters \end{aligned}

<u>Step 5</u>

Determine the speed of the 1st part of the race:

Given:

  • time = 20 minutes
  • distance = 6000 m

\begin{aligned}\sf Speed\:of\:1st\:part\:of\:race & = \sf \dfrac{distance}{time}\\& = \sf \dfrac{6000}{20}\\ & = \sf 300\:meters\:per\:minute\end{aligned}

How many times greater is the digit in the tenths place than in the hundredths place?
zhannawk [14.2K]
That depends on what the digits are. It could be anywhere between zero times and infinite times. If both are the same digit and not zero, then the tenth is ten times the size of the hundredth.

Find the cost of painting a cubical block of side length 3.2 cm, if painting costs $5 per cm2.
SashulF [63]
<h3><u>Answer</u>:- </h3>

\longrightarrow \sf \$ \: 307.2

<h3><u>Solution:-</u></h3>

Since painting is done on outer surface of cubical block we will have to find its surface area which is given by-

\green{ \underline { \boxed{ \sf{Surface \: area  \:of  \:Cube = 6a^2}}}}

  • <u>where a is side of the cube </u>

\begin{gathered}\\\quad \sf Surface \: area  \:of  \:Cube = 6\times(3.2)^2  \\\end{gathered}

\begin{gathered}\\\implies \quad \sf  6\times 3.2\times3.2   \\\end{gathered}

\begin{gathered}\\\implies \quad \sf  61.44 cm^2  \\\end{gathered}

Now,

\maltese \sf Cost  \:of  \:painting \: 1 \: cm² = \$ 5

\sf Cost \: of \: painting \: 61.44  \:cm²=61.44×5

\sf\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad=\$ 307.2

\leadstoThus it would cost $ 307.2 to paint the entire cubical block.
