Answer:  10.2 meters per hour; or, write as: 10 ⅕ meters per hour.
___________________________________________
Explanation:
_____________________________________
Note: "h" = time in "hour(s)" ; 
         "cm" = length in "centimeter(s)" ;
         "min" = time in "minute(s)";
            "m" = length in "meter(s)"
_____________________________________
Note these EXACT conversions:
_________________________________
100 cm = 1 m ; 
   60 min = 1 h ;
_________________________________
To solve: 

Given: 17 cm / min ; convert to:  ________ m / h 
__________________________________________________
(17 cm / min)* (1 m /100cm) * (60 min / 1 h)  = _______ m / h
__________________________________________________
The "cm" units cancel to "1"; the "min" units cancel to "1" and we are left with units of "m/h" {"meters per hour"}.
___________________________________
We are left with (17 *1 m * 60) / (100 * 1 h) =  [(17 * 60) m] / [100 h] 
                                                                 =  [(17 *60) / 100 ] meters per hour.
________________________________________________________
To simply: (17 * 60) / 100 ;
_________________________
Method 1):  To simplify: (17 * 60) / 100 ;

→Rewrite as: (17*60) / 100 = (17*20*3)/(20*5) ;  
→Cancel out the "20's "; and rewrite as: 

→ (17*60) / 100 = (17*3)/5 = 51/5 
                           = 10.2 meters per hour; or, write as: 10 ⅕ meters per hour.
________________________________________________________
Method 2) To simplify: (17 * 60) / 100 ; Use calculator (or by hand):
___________________________________
→ (17 * 60) / 100 = 1,020 /100 
                             = 10.2 meters per hour; or, write as: 10 ⅕ meters per hour.
__________________________________
Method 3) To simplify: (17 * 60) / 100 ;
_____________________________________
→ (17 * 60) / 100 = ? ;  

→ Divide BOTH the "100" AND the "60" by "10";

        → 60÷10 = 6 ; 100÷10 =10; and rewrite—replace the "60" with a "6"; and replace the "100" with a "10" ;
____________________________
→ (17*60)/100 = (17*6)/10 = 102/10

                         = 10.2 meters per hours; or, write as: 10 ⅕ meters per hour.

A bouncing ball reaches a height of 54 inches at its first peak, 36 inches at its second peak, and 24 inches at its third peak.
steposvetlana [31]
54, 36, 24 are the 1st 3 element of a geometric progression with 2/3 as a common ratio: PROOF:
the 1st term is 54, (a₁= 54) the 2nd term a₂ = 24, then
(a₂ = a₁.r) or 36 = 54.r → r= 36/54 = 2/3. Same logique for the 3rd term. 
So 2/3 is common ratio. We know that :U(n) = a.(r)ⁿ⁻¹. Then if a =54 and r = x (given by the problem), then f(x) = 54.xⁿ⁻¹
n, being the rank of any element of this geometric progression

the product of two consecutive integers is 420. an equation is written in standard form to solve for the smaller integer by fact
Xelga [282]
Start by writing your own expression.

x is the smaller number and x + 1 is the next number

x(x + 1) = 420

x^2 + x - 420 =0 ⇒ constant = -420
