Okay. A boy swims 4.4 feet per second. There are 3,600 seconds in one hour. 4.4 * 3,600 is 15,840 feet in one hour. 15,840/5,280 is 3. The boy swims at 3 miles per hour. The fish swims at 12 mph. To find out how much faster the fish is than the boy in yards, we need to convert the measurements into yards and divide them per minute. Mind you, there are 1,760 yards in 1 mile. 12 * 1,760 is 21,120. 21,120/60 is 352. The fish swims 352 yards per minute. 3 * 1,760 is 5,280. 5,280/60 is 88. The boys swims 88 yards per minute. Now, we must subtract both numbers to see how much faster the fish swims. 352 - 88 = 264. There. The fish swims 264 yards faster per minute, than the boy.

You'll need to convert both speeds into yards per minute.

12 mph = 12 mph     1760 yd    60 min
                ---------- * ------------ * ----------
                  1 mile       1 hr

Note that "miles" cancels.  So does "hours."  Finish this work.

Then convert   4.4 ft/sec into yards per minute.

Then, finally, compare your two rates via subtraction of the smaller from the larger.

Solve the equation : 2x + 7 = 21 and find the value of x. Is 2x + 7 = 21 a first degree equation or not?
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

The proposed equation is solved as follows:

2X + 7 = 21

2X = 21 - 7

2X = 14

X = 14 / 2

X = 7

The value of X is 7.

A first degree equation is an algebraic equation in which each term is either a constant or a product of a fixed term on a single variable. Therefore, this equation is a first degree one, since it only has a single variable, which is X.

Find all points having an x coordinate of 5 whose distance from the point (2,2) is 5.
stepan [7]

Answer:

(5,6) , (5,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the required point be P(5,y).

Its distance from (2,2) is 5 units.

So, (5-2)^{2} + (y-2)^{2} = 25.

So, 3^{2} +  (y-2)^{2} = 25.

  9 +  (y-2)^{2} = 25.

   (y-2)^{2} = 16

    Two cases are possible for now

case 1 : y-2 = 4 .

            y = 6

required point will be (5,6)

case 2 : y - 2 = -4.

              y = -2.

required point will be (5,-2).

Two points are possible : (5,6) , (5,-2).

If "u" varies directly with "v," and u = 6<br> when v = -7, what is "u" when v = 4
pochemuha

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  u = -3 3/7

Step-by-step explanation:

The new value of v is 4/-7 = -4/7 of the old value. Because u varies directly, its new value will also be -4/7 of the old value.

  u = -4/7(6) = -24/7

  u = -3 3/7
