Answer:

1.0014 Miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The light travels at 186,291 miles per second (~300,000 km/s), and speed of sound in dry air is equal to 0.21 - 0.22 miles per second (0.33-0.35 km/s), as it varies with the temperature. We can notice the lightning almost immediately even though the storm is far from us, but the thunder needs around 5 seconds to travel one mile and approximately 3 seconds to travel one kilometer. Thanks to this seven orders of magnitude difference in sound and light propagation, we can easily estimate the storm distance

Answer:

replace the x with -3

if you ever have f(x) = 'insert equation' and then it says find f('insert number'), you replace what ever variable is after the first 'f' with the number after the second 'f'. hope this helped!

Norma-Jean [14]

The opening balance of the March billing cycle for Bernice's credit card = $2374.

Amount of new purchase = $200 on the 20th of March.

She did purchase only of $200 in that March month.

We are given that she didn't do any payment.

So, still she has balance $2374 till end of the month.

Therefore, her average daily balance is $2374.00

So, the correct option is B. $2374.00.
