Since there is 120 minutes in 2 hours, you would divide 4/120 which would be simplified to 1/30.
Therefore, the parade traveled 1/30 miles per minute or 0.03(a bar notation on 3) miles per minute.

There's a really easy way to convert any units to other units.

Right now, we have the fraction  (4 miles) / (2 hours).

We want to find a fraction that's exactly equal to that one,
but has the units of  (miles/minute)  or maybe  (feet/minute).

Just take the original fraction, and multiply it by some other
fractions.

Each fraction you multiply it by must have the value of ' 1 ' so
you don't change the value of the original fraction.  But it can
have different units, that cancel with other units to eventually
give you the units you want.

      (4 miles / 2 hours) times (1 hour / 60 minutes)

The second fraction is equal to ' 1 ', because the top and the bottom
have the same value ...  1 hour is the same thing as  60 minutes.

Multiply the fractions:  (4 miles x 1 hour) / (2 hour x 60 minutes)

Now you can cancel 'hour' from the top and the bottom, and you have

             (4 miles x 1) / (2 x 60 minutes)

               = (4 miles) / (120 minutes) 

               =          (4 / 120) mile/minute = 0.0333... mile / minute .

Let's do it again, go a little farther, and get an answer that
might mean more and feel more like an answer. 

   (4 miles) / (2 hours) x (5280 feet / mile) x (1 hour / 60 minutes)

The 2nd and 3rd fractions both have the value of ' 1 ', because
the top is equal to the bottom. 

Multiply all three fractions: 

     (4 miles x 5280 feet x 1 hour) / (2 hours x 1 mile x 60 minutes)

You can cancel both 'mile' and 'hour' out of the top and bottom,
and look what you have left:

     (4 x 5280 feet x 1) / (2 x 1 x 60 minutes)

  =  (4 x 5280) / (2 x 60)  feet / minutes

  =  (21,120 / 120)  feet/minute   =    176 feet per minute

Answer:

  (a)  x = (3 -ln(3))/5 ≈ 0.819722457734

  (b)  y = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Taking the natural log of both sides, we have ...

  2x +1 = ln(3) +4 -3x

  5x = ln(3) +3 . . . . . . . . add 3x-1

  x = (ln(3) +3)/5 ≈ 0.820

__

(b) Assuming "lg" means "log", the logarithm to base 10, we have ...

  log(y -6) +log(y +15) = 2

  (y -6)(y +15) = 100 . . . . . . . taking antilogs

  y^2 -9x -190 = 0 . . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses, subtract 100

  (y -19)(y +10) = 0 . . . . . . . . factor

The values of y that make these factors zero are -19 and 10. We know from the first term that (y-6) > 0, so y > 6. That means y = -19 is an extraneous solution.

The solution is ...

  y = 10

__

When solving equations using a graphing calculator, it often works well to define a function f(x) such that the solution is f(x) = 0, the x-intercept(s). That form is easily obtained by subtracting the right side of the equation from both sides of the equation. In part (a) here, that is ...

  f(x) = e^(2x+1) -3e^(4-3x)

Answer:

7miles

equations shown in work image below

work shown on the paper with more explanations because text is hard to write equations (sorry I used km but it is miles for your problem.)

:) please give a heart for thanks

and brainliest crown :)

Step-by-step explanation:

For both d=r*t

Each bikes to others house and leave at the same time so for Tony,

11 = 30*t

t= 11/30 hours

for Gerry,

11 = 25*t

t= 11/25 hours

Comparing these, with LCD,

Tony's time is 55/150

Gerry's time is 66/150

So Tony got to Gerry's house 11/150 hours quicker than Gerry got to Tony's house.

Now they turn around and head back toward each other. If they leave at the same exact time, the elapsed time for each until they met would be the same so t (for tony) = t (for gerry), but Tony got a head start.

We start the stopwatch when Gerry turns around 11/150 hours after Tony has turned around. If Gerry's time to where they meet from Tony's house t(gerry), then Tony's time from Gerry's house is t(gerry) + 11/150

Answer:

a*(1 -0.5)*(1 +0.5) = 0.75a . . . . the original number "a" is larger

(a/(0.75a) -1) * 100% = 33 1/3% . . . . the original number is larger by 33 1/3% of the revised number
