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

According to a study conducted by the Gallup Organization, the the proportion of Americans who are afraid to fly is 0.10. A rand
notsponge [240]

Answer: 0.1457

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p be the population proportion.

Given: The proportion of Americans who are afraid to fly is 0.10.

i.e. p= 0.10

Sample size : n= 1100

Sample proportion of Americans who are afraid to fly =\hat{p}=\dfrac{121}{1100}=0.11

We assume that the population is normally distributed

Now, the probability that the sample proportion is more than 0.11:

P(\hat{p}>0.11)=P(\dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}>\dfrac{0.11-0.10}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.10(0.90)}{1100}}})\\\\=P(z>\dfrac{0.01}{0.0090453})\ \ \ [\because z=\dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}} ]\\\\=P(z>1.1055)\\\\=1-P(z\leq1.055)\\\\=1-0.8543=0.1457\ \ \ [\text{using z-table}]

Hence, the probability that the sample proportion is more than 0.11 = 0.1457
