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.

Darnell ran 550 yards in 3 minutes. At this rate, how many yards can he run in 6 minutes?​
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Darnell can run 1100 yards in 6 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 ways you can solve this

Method 1: You would have to divide 550 by 3 which you would get about 183, (the exact answer is very long so I recommend using a calculator). Then you multiply that by 6 to get 1100.

Method 2: This one would probably be easier. Since 3 x 2 is 6 then you can multiply 550 x 2 to get 1100.

I hope this helps!

Given g ( x ) = 2 x + 3 , solve for x when g(x)=3.
padilas [110]

Answer:

x = 0

Step by step explanation:

g ( x ) = 2x + 3

If x = 0,

g ( 0 ) = 2 (0) + 3

or, g ( 0 ) = 3
