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

The length and
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

42 yards

Step-by-step explanation

There are 4 sides to a rectangle. 2 lengths, and 2 widths. That means that you multiply both values by 2 and then add them together, so 40 + 2. A more basic way to think of it is 20+20+1+1. Therefore, the perimeter is 41 yards.

gavmur [86]

Answer:

The total number of ways are 168.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

There are 7 junior and 3 senior coders in her group.

The first project can be written by any of the coders. The second project must be written by a senior person and the third project must be written by a junior person.

For second project we have 3 choices and for third project we have 7 choices.

Now there are 2 possible case:

Case I: If first and second coder is senior, then the total number of ways are:

3\times 2\times 7=42

Case II: If first and third coder is junior, then the total number of ways are:

7\times 3\times 6=126

Hence, the total number of ways are: 42+126=168
