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.

Your cell phone plan gives you 500 minutes monthly. If you have used 310 minutes already and there is a week left in this month,
aksik [14]
The minutes remaining till the end of the month = 500 - 310 = 190 minutes
now to split these minutes equally, we will divide them by 7 days of week
daily usage = 190/7 = 27.14 minutes
since we can not talk for 0.14 minutes, therefore,to equally split the remaining minutes, you should speak 27 minutes per day with one extra minutes remaining to be used on the day you choose

The figure below is rotated 270° clockwise about the origin .List the coordinates of the image.
meriva

Answer:

A (-4, -4), B (-2, 6), C (-1, 1), D(-3, -5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Before the rotation:

A (-4, 4), B (6, 2), C (1, 1), D(-5, 3)

270° rotation clockwise is the same as 90° counterclockwise.  To do that transformation:

(x, y) → (-y, x)

Therefore, the coordinates of the rotated figure are:

A (-4, -4), B (-2, 6), C (-1, 1), D(-3, -5)
