For this case we have the following conversions:

1 yard = 3 feet

The estimate distance Is:

400yd = 1200feet

200yd=600 feet

Ten, the estimate Is:

1200 + 600 = 1800 feet

The real distance Is:

The total distance in yards is given by:

440 + 220 = 660 yd

Then, let's transform this distance to feet, with the given conversion:

660 * 3 = 1980 feet

The distance traveled is reasonable for a person

Comparing the estimate and the actual answer, the distance malcom Ran Is reasonable.

Answer:

Malcolm ran 1980 feet.

The distance is reasonable.

440 x 3 = 1320

220 x 3 = 660

1320 + 660 = 1980, which is your answer.



440 is close to 400, so 400 x 3 = 1200

220 is close to 200, so 200 x 3 = 600

1200 + 600 = 1800



This is a reasonable estimate.

Given the line has to go through (0, 3) and is PARALLEL to y= -4x+6. Which is the correct equation of the line
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

y=-4x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slopes of 2 parallel lines will always be the same, so we plug in the ordered pair to find the y intercept

Use simultaneous equations to solve the following. Three kilograms of jam and two kilograms of butter cost $29 and six kilograms
artcher [175]

Answer:

The cost of 1kg jam is $7 and the cost of 1kg butter is $4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let jam = x

butter = y

3x + 2y = 29 -----(1)

6x + 3y = 54 -----(2)

(1)×2 ->

6x + 4y = 58 -----(3)

(3)-(2) ->

y = 4

suby=4into(2)

6x + 3(4) = 54

6x = 42

x = 7

Indicate the equation of the line that is the perpendicular bisector of the segment with endpoints (4, 1) and (2, -5).
balandron [24]
If it is bisector then it co ordinate points is in mid way(3,-2)

and it is perpendicular so its slope m2=-1/m1
where m1 is slope of another line passes through (4,1) nd (2,-5)

m1=-5-1/2-4=3
m2==-1/3

so equation of line is
y-3= -1/3(x+2)
