I think what the teacher wants to express is that SI units are much more convenient to use than English units because the prefixes of the metric system will give you an idea on the conversion factor. Unlike English units, like ft to yard, there is no prefix to help you. You have to know the fact that 1 yard is equal to 3 feet.

Answer:

“There are 100 centimeters in a meter, and this fact is revealed in the unit’s name (centimeter).

In the metric system of measurement, the prefix "centi-" means 100.

And a centimeter is 1/100 of a meter.

"There are 3 feet in one yard, but this fact is not revealed in the unit’s name (yard).”

The above prefix format cannot be said about a yard because it is just an arbitrary term and does not have a prefix.

Jobisdone [24]
Let's say her speed was x miles/hour during the first 3 miles runThen, time = distance/speedt1 = 3/x       eq1 In the next 4 miles run, her speed = x-1 miles/hourTime taken:t2 = 4/(x-1)      eq2 Now, total time:t1 + t2 = 1 3/5 hourssubstitute t1 and t2 from eqs. 1 and 2 3/x + 4/(x-1) = 1 3/5=> 3/x + 4/(x-1) = 8/5
=> 3(x-1) + 4x = 8x(x-1)/5=> 35x - 15 = 8x2 - 8x=> 8x2 - 43x + 15 = 0=> (8x-3)*(x-5) = 0=> x = 3/8 or 5 miles/hourx can not be 3/8 miles/hour because in that case, the speed during 4 miles run would be 3/8-1 = negative numberi.e. speed during 3 miles segment = 5 miles/hourand speed during 4 miles segment = 5-1 = 4 miles/hour

Please Help!!

Answer:

34 rolls

Step-by-step explanation:

For Frank to cover his whole ceiling, he needs paper that will cover

20 ft x 20 ft                      

20 x 20 = 400 ft

So, Frank needs to cover 400 ft of the ceiling. He has to split up this large need for paper into smaller rolls, because the rolls he can buy are small.

If each roll has 12 ft, we need to find how many 12-feet are in 400 feet.

To do this, we should divide

400 / 12

= 33.333

Because Frank cannot cover the whole ceiling using only 33 rolls, he has to buy an additional roll to make sure he can cover the extra area [that would be left over if he were to only buy 33 rolls, which would only cover 396 feet]

So, Frank will need to buy 34 rolls to have enough paper to entirely cover his ceiling.
