1/3 = 0.33
10 ÷ 0.33 = 30.30
she could plant 30 flowers.
(you can't have .3 of a plant so you get rid of the decimal)

One number is 11 more than 3 times another number. Their sum is 75. Find the smaller number.

Musya8 [376]

X = larger number, y = smaller number

x + y = 75
x = 3y + 11

3y + 11 + y = 75
4y + 11 = 75
4y = 75 - 11
4y = 64
y = 64/4
y = 16 <=== ur smaller number

x = 3y + 11
x = 3(16) + 11
x = 48 + 11
x = 59...ur larger number

How far does the tip of the minute hand of a clock move in 1 hour and 27 minutes if the hand is 2 inches long?

Nesterboy [21]

So, a full circle has 360°, thus when the minute hand does one hour, it does a full circle, therefore 360°.

now, how many degrees are there in 1 minute? well, there are 60 minutes in 360°, therefore there are 360/60 degrees in 1 minute, or 6°.

now, we know in 1 hour there are 360°, how many in 27 minutes? well, 27 * 6, or 162°. So after 1hr and 27min, the minute hand has done 360+162 or 522°.

we also know the minute hand is 2 inches long, thus

$\bf \textit{arc's length}\\\\
s=\cfrac{\pi \theta r}{180}\quad 
\begin{cases}
r=radius\\
\theta =angle~in\\
\qquad degrees\\
------\\
r=2\\
\theta =522
\end{cases}\implies s=\cfrac{\pi \cdot 522\cdot 2}{180}$

which is roughly 18 inches rounded up.
