S =The maximum walking speed S, in feet per second, of an animal can be modeled by the equationVgL, where g = 32 ft/sec and L is

the length, in feet, of the animal's leg. To the nearesthundredth, how many times greater is the maximum walking speed of a giraffe with a leg length of 6feet than a hippopotamus with a leg length of 3 feet?1.41 times2.00 times0.71 times4.06 times

1.41 times

1) Well, let's get started by writing out the equation:

S=\sqrt[]{gL}

2) Let's find out the maximum walking speed of a giraffe, plugging into that the given data: Giraffe Leg Length: 6

\begin{gathered} S_{\text{giraffe}}=\sqrt[]{32\times6} \\ S_{\text{giraffe}}=\sqrt[]{192}\approx13.86 \end{gathered}

And the hippotamus:

S_{\text{hippo}}=\sqrt[]{32\times3}\Rightarrow\sqrt[]{96}\approx9.80

And now how many times greater by dividing the giraffe's speed by the hippopotamus speed:

\frac{13.86}{9.8}\approx1.41

Hence, the answer is 1.41 times.

The cost of item A is $8 and the
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer: the number of item A that you sold is 11

the number of item B that you sold is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of item A that you sold.

Let y represent the number of item B that you sold.

The total number of item A and item B sold is 13. This means that

x + y = 13

The cost of item A is $8 and the

cost of item B is $4. The total amount if money made is $88. This means that

8x + 4y = 88 - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 13 - y into equation 1, it becomes

8(13 - y) + 4y = 88

104 - 8y = 88

8y = 104 - 88 = 16

y = 16/8 = 2

x = 13 - y = 13 - 2 = 11
