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}

Four sizes of scaled text are shown.
Arisa [49]
Let
x--------> <span>the unknown scale size

we know that

N 1---------> 2.618
N 2---------> x
N 3---------> 1
N 4---------> 0.618

to obtain the size N 4 ----> multiply the size N 3 by 0.618
so
to obtain </span> the size N 2 ----> multiply the size N 1 by 0.618
size N 2=2.618*0.618------> 1.6179
x=1.618

the answer is
 the unknown scale size is 1.618

Hey can you please help me posted picture of question
GREYUIT [131]
To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

 1. You have the following expression:

 (3+3i)-(13+15i)

 2. If you want to substract both terms, you  need to substract the real numbers and the complex numbers. Then, you obtain:

 3+3i-13-15i
 (3-13)+(3i-15i)

 3. Then, you obtain the following result:

 -10-12i

 4. Therefore, as you can see, the correct answer is the last option (option D), which is:
 D. -10-12i
