Answer:
The rate of the runner is 3.5 meters per second.
Step-by-step explanation:
To get this answer in meters per second, we first have to convert each of the terms into either meters or seconds. We can do that by multiplying by unit rates.
21 km * 1000 = 21,000 meters
1 hour * 3600 = 3,600 seconds
40 minutes * 60 = 2,400 seconds
Now we divide the meters by the total number of seconds to get the rate.
21,000 meters / (3,600 + 2,400) secs
21,000 meters / 6,000 secs
3.5 meters per second.
The volume of a cuboid is given by length × width × height
We have:
Volume = 7.6 ft³
Height = 3x - 1
Length = x + 5
Width = x
Substituting these into the formula, we have:
7.6 = (3x - 1) (x + 5) (x)
7.6 = [3x² + 15x - x - 5] (x)
7.6 = [3x² + 14x - 5](x)
7.6 = 3x³ + 14x² - 5x
0 = 3x³ + 14x² - 5x - 7.6
Drawing the graph is one way of finding the solution (refer to the graph below):
We have three solutions (where the curve crosses the x-axis):
x = -4.9
x = -0.6
x = 0.8
Putting these solutions back into the context, since we are looking for the value of x which is part of measurement of length, we cannot have negative value, so we will take the value of x = 0.8 ft
Converting 0.8 ft into inches = 0.8 × 12 inches = 9.6 inches
Answer: x = 9.6 inches
The first step would be to add 7 to both sides.
3n-7=30
add 7
3n=37
divide by 3
n=12.33
<u>The probability is </u><u>1/12</u>
The probability of choosing a nickel is 9/18 = 1/2. The probability of choosing a dime is 3/18 (because there are 3 dimes and since there is replacement, we still have 18 total coins to choose). With these, we get: (1/2) * (3/18) = 3/36 = 1/12
