Problem 1
<h3>Answer: 7.3</h3>
Explanation: Apply the square root to the area to get the side length. This only applies to areas that are squares (hence the name).
==================================================
Problem 2
<h3>Answer: C) 1.3</h3>
Explanation: Use your calculator to find that choices A,B,D plugged into the square root function yield terminating decimal values. "Terminating" means "stop". This implies that they are perfect squares (though not perfect squares in the sense of whole number perfect squares which you may be used to). Choice C is the only value that has a square root that leads to a non-terminating decimal. The digits of this decimal go on forever without any pattern. The value is irrational.
- sqrt(5.29) = 2.3 terminating decimal
- sqrt(13.69) = 3.7 terminating decimal
- sqrt(1.3) = 1.140175425 keeps going forever without any pattern
- sqrt(0.09) = 0.3 terminating decimal
==================================================
Problem 3
<h3>Answer: 23.6 feet approximately</h3>
Explanation: Apply the square root to 15.5 to get roughly 3.937; this is the approximate side length of one square. Six of these tiles placed together will lead to a total length of roughly 6*3.937 = 23.622 which rounds to 23.6 feet. Like with problem 1, the square root being used like this only works for square areas.
The answer is 51. This is because if you 15 is added then you multiply by the 10
Answer:
To calculate how many total miles Rachel runs per minute, setting up a unit rate, that is a rate with a denominator of 1, would be helpful.
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the current problem to determine a rate.
23 minutes/4 miles
Now, set up a unit rate.
1 minute/<em>x </em>miles = 23 minutes/4 miles
To solve for <em>x, </em>we can use simple division strategies. We divide 23 by 23 to receive 1 minute. Likewise, dividing the current milage by 23 would wield the correct unit rate. To do this, divide 4 by 23.
4/23 = 0.1739130434782609
Finally, simplify your answer to receive 0.17.
Therefore, Rachel runs ~0.17 miles per minute. (Note that this answer is only a rounded answer of her actual milage per minute)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
17:3 is already in lowest terms. 17:3 = 34:6, 51:9, etc.
15:60 = 1:4
10-4=6
3*2k= 6k
6k=6
K=1 is the answer
