Answer:
At a combined speed of 6 in/min, it takes us 24 mins to clean the wall
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the question did not provide the speed with which each student cleans, we can make assumptions. This is so that we can solve the question before us
Assuming student 1 cleans at a speed of 2 inches per minute, student 2 cleans at a speed of 2½ inches per minute & student 3 cleans at a speed of 1½ inches per minute.
Let's list the parameters we have:
Height of wall (h) = 12 ft, Speed (student 1) = 2 in/min, Speed (student 2) = 2½ in/min, Speed (student 3) = 1½ in/min
Speed of cleaning wall = Height of wall ÷ Time to clean wall
Time to clean wall (t) = Height of wall ÷ Speed of cleaning wall
since students 1, 2 and 3 are working together, we will add their speed together; v = (2 + 2½ + 1½) = 6 in/min
1 ft = 12 in
Time (t) = h ÷ v = (12 * 12) ÷ 6 = 144 ÷ 6
Time (t) = 24 mins
Radical 2 = 1.4 So 1.4 * 6 = 8.4
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
8.4^2 + 8.4^2 = square root of c
70.56 + 70.56 = 141.12 ≈ 141
Then you must find the square root of 141 which is 11.874 ≈ 11.9
Side a = 8.4
Side b = 8.4
Side c = 11.9
To elaborate:
To do this problem, we assume that Mr. Sanchez is driving at a constant rate.
According to this information, he has driven 120 mi in 3 hr. To find how much he drives in 5 hr, we first have to find how many mi he drives in 1 hour. To do this, we divide 120 miles by 3 hours, since we assume that he managed to drive an equal amount in each hour.
120/3=40
Therefore Mr. Sanchez drove at a rate of 40 mph.
However, this isn't the final answer. 40 miles is the distance for one hour of driving. To find the distance for 5 hours, we have to multiply the distance by 5 as well.
40 times 5=200
In conclusion, Mr. Sanchez will drive 200 miles in 5 hours.
35% of 98 is 34.3
Change the percentage (35) into a decimal by dividing over 100:
35 / 100 = 0.3
Multiply the decimal and 98:
0.35 × 98 = 34.3
