You didn't include the table but I found this table for the same statement, so I will answer you based on the next table:

Runner         distance           time

Arabella        7,299 feet        561 seconds
Bettina          3,425 yards     13 minutes, 12 seconds
Chandra       8,214 feet        0,195 hours
Divya            1,62 miles        732 seconds

To answer the question you must find the rate for each runner and then calculate the time to run 3.1 miles at each rate.

First you need to convert the data to obtain the rate in miles per second.

These are the main conversion identities:

1 mile = 5280 feet

1 mile = 1760 yards

1 hour = 3600 seconds

1 hour = 60 minutes

1 minute = 60 seconds

Arabella:

rate: 7,229 feet / 561 seconds * (1 mile / 5280 feet)  =

= 0.00244 mile/second

Time to run 3.1 miles: V = d / t => t = d / V = 3.1 miles / 0.00244 mile/second = 1270 seconds

Bettina:

13 minutes + 12 seconds = 13*60 seconds +12 seconds = 792 seconds

rate = 3425 yards / 792 seconds * 1 mile / 1760 yards = 0.00246 mile/seconds

Time to run 3.1 miles = 3.1 miles / 0.00246 mile/second = 1260 seconds

Chandra:

rate = 8214 feet / 0.195 hours * 1 mile / 5280 feet * 1hour / 3600 seconds =

= 0.00222 seconds

Time = 3.1 mile / 0.00222 seconds = 0.389 hour = 1396 seconds

Divya:

rate = 1.62 miles / 732 seconds = 0.00221 seconds

Time = 3.1 mile / 0.00221 seconds = 1403 seconds

Now you can find the difference between fhe last and the first 1403 seconds - 1260 seconds = 143 seconds

That is equivalent to 2.38 seconds.

Answer:

5 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

So, lets add the whole numbers together and the fractions together.

2+3=5

3/12+5/12=8/12

8/12 can be simplified to 3/4

so 5 3/4

An urn contains 1 liter of water while a second urn nearby is empty. after 1/2 of the water in the first urn is emptied into the
Volgvan

We are given that there will be (1/2) a litre after the first pouring, so considering two successive pourings (n and (n+1)) with 1/2 litre in each before the nth pouring occurs:

1/2 × (1/n) = 1/(2n)

1/2 - 1/(2n) = (n-1)/2n

1/2 + 1/(2n) = (n+1)/2n

 

(n-1)/2n and (n+1)/2n in each urn after the nth pouring

 

Then now consider the (n+1)th pouring

(n+1)/2n × 1/(n+1) = 1/(2n)

(n+1)/(2n) - 1/(2n) = n/(2n) = 1/2

 

Therefore this means that after an odd number of pouring, there will be 1/2 a litre in each urn

 

Since 1997 is an odd number, then there will be 1/2 a litre of water in each urn.
