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.

Write the following Arithmetic Sequence using a Recursive Formula: an = -7 + 3(n – 1)
Ostrovityanka [42]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (b)  a[1] = -7, a[n] = a[n-1] + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Comparing the given formula to the general form for the n-th term of an arithmetic sequence ...

  an = a1 +d(n -1)

we see that the first term (a1) is -7, and the common difference (d) is +3.

The recursive version of the sequence definition is ...

  a[1] = a1

  a[n] = a[n-1] +d

So, the appropriate choice is ...

  a[1] = -7, a[n] = a[n-1] +3

the length of a rectangle is 4/5 feet the width is 5/8 feet how much greater is the length of a rectangle than the width
Eva8 [605]
4/5(8)= 32/40
5/8(5)= 25/40
You have to get the same denominator to be able to subtract so multiply one fractions denominator by the other so it becomes the same, and vise versa.
32/40-25/40= 7/40 which cannot be simplified.
Answer= 7/40 greater than the width.

How do you Multiply the polynomials
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

Multiply by every term in the second expression:

Multiply by every term in the second expression.

Multiply 1 by every term in the second expression.

Now we take those nine terms (everything on the right side of those above equations) and add 'em all up
