I know lots about whales! I can help you out!


The Humpback is an awesome creature. She weighs about 66,000 pounds. She's as long as 42 ft. when fully-grown. She eats up to 4,400-5,500 pounds of food (krill, small fish, plankton, mackerel, etc.). She can swim at top speed of 9 miles per hour (MPH).

Hope this helps!!!!!!!

Average speed=totaldistance/ttoaltime

d=rt
40mph for 30mins (1/2 hr), travels 20mi
rest for 15min (1/4 hr), travels 0mi
swims at 32mph for 45min (3/4hr), travels 96/4=24mi

total distance=20+0+24=44
total time=1/2+1/4+3/4=1 and 1/2=3/2
44/(3/2)=44 times 2/3=88/3=29 and 1/3

about 29 and 1/3 mph

Find the arc length of the partial circle. <br>length is 1.<br>**See attached photo**<br>​
KatRina [158]

Arc length of the quarter circle is 1.57 units.

Solution:

Radius of the quarter circle = 1

Center angle (θ) = 90°

To find the arc length of the quarter circle:

$\text{Arc length}=2 \pi r\left(\frac{\theta}{360^\circ}\right)

                 $=2 \times 3.14  \times 1\left(\frac{90^\circ}{360^\circ}\right)

                $=2 \times 3.14  \times 1\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)

Arc length = 1.57 units

Arc length of the quarter circle is 1.57 units.

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

Given:

I usually walk from home to work. This morning, I walked for 10 minutes until I was halfway to work.

I then realized that I would be late if I kept walking.

I ran the rest of the way. I run twice as fast as I walk.

Find:

The number of minutes in total did it take me to get from home to work

Step-by-step explanation:

Had I kept walking, the second half of my trip would have taken 10 more minutes.

By doubling my speed for the second half of my trip,

I halved the amount of time it took me to finish.

So, the second half of my trip took 5 minutes, for a total trip time of  10+5 = 15 minutes.

The number of minutes in total did it take me to get from home to work is 15 minutes.
