An item travels 70 ft in 10 s. What is the unit rate?

1 answer:

5 0

Distance = (rate)(time)

if you want o find the rate you have to get in by itself on one side so divide both sides by time

distance/time = rate

now replace the words with the values and complete the problem

(70 ft)/(10s) = rate
7 feet per sec = rate

The answer is that the unit rate is 7 feet per sec (or fps)

3x - 15 = 105
3x = 120
x = 40

3(40) - 15 + y + 24 = 180
120 - 15 + y + 24 = 180
129 + y = 180
y = 51

If , find the value of 2 square root of 17-x = 2x-10, find the value of x/4.

ira [324]

$2 \sqrt{17-x} =2x-10\ \ \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ \ D:(17-x \geq 0\ \ \ and\ \ \ 2x-10 \geq 0)\\.\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ x \leq 17\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ x \geq 5\\\\.\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ D=\\\\2 \sqrt{17-x} =2(x-5)\ /:2\\\\ \sqrt{17-x} =x-5\ \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ \ (\sqrt{17-x})^2 =(x-5)^2\\\\17-x=x^2-10x+25\\\\$

$x^2-9x+18=0\\\\ x^2-3x-6x+18=0\\\\x(x-3)-6(x-3)=0\\\\(x-3)(x-6)=0\ \ \ \ \Leftrightarrow\ \ \ (x-3=0\ \ \ \ or\ \ \ \ x-6=0)\\\\x=3\ \notin\ D\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ x=6\ \in\ D\ \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ \ \frac{x}{4} = \frac{6}{4} =1.5\\\\Ans.\ \frac{x}{4} =1.5$

Determine the length of the longest metal rod which could be stored in a rectangle box 20 cm by 50 cm by 30 cm.

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

61.64 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The longest metal rod which could be stored in a rectangular box will be equal to its diagonal:

$\therefore \: length \: of \:metal \: rod \\ = \sqrt{ {l}^{2} + {b}^{2} + {h}^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{ {20}^{2} + {50}^{2} + {30}^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{400 + 2500 + 900} \\ = \sqrt{3800} \\ = 61.64414 \\ = 61.64 \: cm$
