Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's set up a proportion.
He can peel 125 oranges in 5 hours. First, let's find the minutes in 5 hours.
There are 60 minutes in 1 hour, so multiply 60 and 5 (60*5=300). There are 300 minutes in 5 hours.
We don't know how many oranges he can peel in 12 minutes. So we say he can peel x oranges in 12 minutes.
Solve for x by isolating it. x is being divided by 12. The inverse of division is multiplication. Multiply both sides of the proportion by 12.
Rob can peel 5 oranges in 12 minutes.
Answer:
x ≈ 3.1 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The segment from the centre to the chord is a perpendicular bisector, thus
The triangle is right with base = x
Applying Pythagoras' identity to the right triangle, then
( x )² + 1.4² = 2.1²
x² + 1.96 = 4.41 ( subtract 1.96 from both sides )
x² = 2.45 ( multiply both sides by 4 )
x² = 9.8 ( take the square root of both sides )
x = ≈ 3.1 ft ( to the nearest tenth )
