The submarine's depth relative to sea level after the first minute is 1.2 miles

<h3>How to find the submarine's depth relative to sea level after the first minute?</h3>

To find the submarine's depth after the first minute, we first need to find the rate at which the submarine descends, r.

The rate at which the submarime descends is r = d/t where

  • d = submarine's depth and
  • t = time of descent to depth d.

Given that submarine descended at a constant rate to a depth of −3/4 mile relative to sea level in 5/8 minutes, we have that

  • d = -3/4 mile and
  • t = 5/8 minutes.

So, substituting these into r, we have

r = d/t

= -3/4 mile ÷ 5/8 min

= -3/4 × 8/5

= -3 × 2/5

= -6/5

= -1.2 mile/min

So, the depth of the submarine after the first minute is given by D = rt where r = rate of descent =  -1.2 mile/min and t = time = 1 min

So, substituting these into D, we have

D = rt

=  -1.2 mile/min × 1 min

= -1.2 mile

So, the submarine's depth relative to sea level after the first minute is 1.2 miles

Nifal earned 9$ for washing two cars .He recived $1 more for the second car.How much was he paid for washing each car?Which two
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

Nifal received $ 4 for washing the first car.

Nifal received $ 5 for washing the second car.

4 and 5 have a sum of 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem can be rewritten as follows: Find the sum of two consecutive entire numbers equal to 9. That is:

x + y = 9

y = x+1

Then, by eliminating y:

x + (x+1) = 9

2\cdot x + 1 = 9

Now, let is clear x:

2\cdot x = 8

x = 4

Nifal received $ 4 for washing the first car.

The earning for the second car is: (x = 4)

y = x +1

y = 4 + 1

y = 5

Nifal received $ 5 for washing the second car.

4 and 5 have a sum of 9.

LUCKY_DIMON [66]
Christine crawled:
3 ft* (3/4)= 2.25 ft.

3 ft+ 2.25 ft= 5.25 ft

We already know that 1 ft= 12 in.

5.25 ft* (12in/ 1 ft)= 63 in.

The total distance the two children crawled together is 63 in~
