I believe the answer is 5 because if however many times you can multiply 2.5 into 12.5, you get the answer of 5.

<u>Answer</u>:

The average speed of the runner is 12 miles per hour.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given:

A cross country runner Covers =2.5 miles

Time Taken = 12.5 minutes  

To Find:

The runners average speed in miles per hour=?

Solution:

Now, we know that,

Distance = speed x time

Then, 2.5 miles = average speed x 12.5 minutes  

=>\frac{5}{2} miles = \text{{average speed}} \times  \frac{25}{2} minutes

=>\frac{5}{2} miles = \text{{average speed}}\times\frac{25}{2} \times \frac{1}{60} hours

=>\frac{5}{2} = \text{{average speed}}\times \frac{ 5}{2} }\times \frac{1}{12} hours

=>1 = \text{{average speed}} \times\frac{1}{12}

=>average speed = 12  

Hence, the average speed of the runner is 12 miles per hour.

.   Multiply (x + 3)(x – 3).
konstantin123 [22]
X × x = x^2
x × -3 = -3x
3 × x = 3x
3 × -3 = -9

x^2 + 3x - 3x - 9
So I would agree with C because the -3x and the 3x cancel each other out. I hope this helps!

Using the factorised trinomial <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%28n-2%29%284n-7%29" id="TexFormula1" title="(n-2)(4n-7)" alt="

4n² - 15n + 14<span> is always the product of two numbers, for it to be prime number, one of these factors must be either 1 or -1.

Case n - 2 = 1
That would be n = 3
Then </span>4n² - 15n + 14<span> = 5 , which is prime.

Case n - 2 = -1
That would be n = 1
Then </span>4n<span>² - 15n + 14 = 3, which is also prime.

Case 4n - 7 = 1
That would be n = 2 and that makes other factor (n-2) zero so it's not prime

Case 4n-7 = -1
That would be n = 3/2 which is not integer, so </span>4n<span>² - 15n + 14 will not be interger.

For any other n values, </span>4n<span>² - 15n + 14 will be composite number since it is product of two factors.

Therefore we are left with n = 1 and n = 3; only two values of n.</span>

estimate 0.00792398 to the nearest thousandth. Express your answer as a single-digit times a power of ten
Marianna [84]

Answer: \approx8*10^{-3}

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to round to the nearest thousandth, you must observe the digit to the right of the digit in the thousandth place and then:

  • If it is less than 5, you must round down.
  • If it is greater than or equal than 5, you must round up.

In this case, given the number:

0.00792398

You can notice that the digit to the right of the digit in the thousandth place is 9.

Since 9>5, you must round up. Then:

0.00792398\approx0.008

Finally, to express this as a single-digit times a power of ten, move the decimal point three places to the right. Then you get:

\approx8*10^{-3}
