Derek would have planted the tree 7 years ago. You subtract 36 from 44.75 and get 8.75. This is how much the tree grew since he planted it. Then, you'll divide 8.75 by 1.25 (1 1/4) which tells you how many years it has been since he planted the tree. The final answer is 7 years. Hope this helps!

If susan, janice, and melvin take 2.0 hours to walk to their school at a rate of 1.0 m/s, how far is their school from their hou
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

7.2 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Hours taken = 2 hours

Walk rate = 1 m/s

Distance = Speed * time

Time taken in seconds = 2 * 60 * 60 = 7200 s

Hence,

Distance = 1 m/s * 7200s

Distance = 7200 meters

Distance in km = 7200 / 1000 = 7.2 km

If a = 3 and b = 2, what is the value of the expression 11 + a - b ?
Vadim26 [7]
Substitute the values of a and b into the expression:
11 + 3 - 2
Add first because of order of operations (perform addition and subtraction in the order of occurrence from left to right):
14 - 2
Subtract (same justification as above just with subtraction instead):
12

there are 158 4th grade students and 139 fifth grade students going on a field trip .there needs to be at least 1 adult chaperon
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

  (D) is the best explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of students is 158 + 139 = 297. This number can be rewritten as ...

  297 = 37 × 8 + 1

That is, if there were 37 chaperones, 1 student would remain without a chaperone. That means the number of chaperones must be increased by 1 to 38. This is best explained by choice D.
