Snail takes 1.5 minutes to travel around one meter

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, the average speed of a garden snail is 0.025 miles per hour  

And one inch is approximately 2.54 centimeters,  

We have to find how many minutes would it take a garden snail to travel one meter?  

Now, let us convert the speed in miles per hour to meters per minute

Then, speed = 0.025 miles per hour  

= 0.025 x 1 mile / 1 hour  

= 0.025 x 1609.34 meters / 60 minutes

= 0.025 x 1609.34 / 60 meters per minute

\begin{array}{l}{=\frac{0.025 \times 1609.34}{60} \text { meters per minute }} \\\\ {=\frac{40.2335}{60} \text { meters per minute }}\end{array}

= 0.670 meters per minute.

Now, 0.670 meters ⇒ 1 minute

Then, 1 meter ⇒ n minutes

So, by criss cross method

n x 0.67 = 1 x 1

n = 1.4912

Hence, snail takes 1.5 minutes approximately to travel 1 meter.

Nancy's garden has the dimensions shown 4 1/2 yard<br><br> 3 3/4 yd . She need find the area
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

The area of Nancy's garden is 16\frac{7}{8}\ yd^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume that the Nancy's garden is a rectangle shape

To find the area first convert mixed number to an improper fraction

4\frac{1}{2}\ yd=\frac{4*2+1}{2}=\frac{9}{2}\ yd

3\frac{3}{4}\ yd=\frac{3*4+3}{4}=\frac{15}{4}\ yd

Therefore

The area is equal to

A=\frac{9}{2}*\frac{15}{4}=\frac{135}{8}\ yd^{2}

convert to mixed number

\frac{135}{8}\ yd^{2=\frac{128}{8}+\frac{7}{8}=16\frac{7}{8}\ yd^{2}

What is the equation of the line passing through the points (4, -7.5) and (6, -3.5) in slope-intercept form?
Ratling [72]

Answer:

Your answer will be

y=2x-15.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, there you must know the slope-intercept form which is

y=mx+b

m=slope

b=y-intercept

You can also use

the slope formula which is

\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

in this case

it will look like this

\frac{-7.5-(-3.5)}{6-4}=\frac{-4}{2}=-2

So the slope is -2

Now we will find the y-intercept

-7.5=2(4)+b

-7.5=8+b   Subtract 8 both sides

-15.5=b

Your y-intercept is -15.5

Hope this helps

A fitness club charges $25 per month as well as a one-time $80 fee of all new members which equation represents the cost in doll
madam [21]

Answer: So if you want to find the total cost (c) for a certain number of months (m) and it costs $35 per month, you just need to multiply the number of months by the cost per month. So

35m=c

If you want to see the units cancel

($35/month)(months)=$

The months will cancel out, and you will be left with total dollars.

Not sure about the second part of your question, but if you wanted to figure out how much it would cost to be a member for 6 months, you would just plug in 6 for m.

35(6)=c

c=210

So $210

Find the solution set of this equation.<br> y^2-11y=0 <br> separate the two values with a comma.
Tanya [424]

Answer:

0,11

Step-by-step explanation:

y^2-11y=0

y(y-11)=0 we have transformed the equation into a product

a product can be zero only if one of the factors is 0

so the two solutions are

y=0

and y-11=0  y=11
