The heights, in inches, of several seventh-grade students at Evan Mills Middle School are listed below.

Sara ran 10km in 2.5 hours. Katerina ran 7.5 km in 2 hours. Candice ran 9.5 km in 2.25 hours. Who had the fastest average speed?

Arisa [49]

10 km ÷ 2.5 hours = 4 km/h — This is Sara's record

7.5 km ÷ 2 hours = 3.75 km/h — This is Katerina's record

9.5 km ÷ 2.25 hours = 4.2 km/h — This is Candice's record

Therefore, the answer is Candice had the fastest average speed.

Answer:

16 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the rectangle be x ft

Therefore, length = (x + 2) ft

Area of the rectangle = 15 square ft

$x(x + 2) = 15 \\ \\ {x}^{2} + 2x = 15 \\ \\ {x}^{2} + 2x - 15 = 0 \\ \\ {x}^{2} + 5x - 3x - 15 = 0 \\ \\ x(x + 5) - 3(x + 5) = 0 \\ \\ (x + 5)(x - 3) = 0 \\ \\ x + 5 = 0 \: or \: \: x - 3 = 0 \\ \\ x = - 5 \: \: or \: \: x = 3 \\ \\ \because \: x \: can \: not \: be \: - ve \\ \\ \therefore \: x = 3 \\ \\ \implies \: x + 2 = 3 + 2 = 5 \\ \\ perimeter \: of \: rectngle \\ = 2(5 + 3) \\ = 2 \times 5 \\ = 16 \: ft$

A rectangle has an area of 0.24 of a square. What are some possibility for the length and width of the rectangle? Tell why

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

<h3>The possibilities of length and width of the rectangle are </h3><h3>x=1, y=0.24;</h3><h3>x=0.5, y=0.48;</h3><h3>x=0.25, y=0.96;</h3><h3>x=2, y=0.12</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the area is 0.24 square meter

The area of a rectangle is given by

$Area=length\times width$ square units

Let x be the length and y be the width.

Since the area is 0.24 square meter, we have the equation:

$Area=x\times y = 0.24$ , with x and y measures in meters

If we want to know some possibilities of x and y, we can assume a value for one of them, and then calculate the other one using the equation.

Now choosing some values for "x", we have:

Put x = 1

$1\times y = 0.24$

∴ y = 0.24

Now put x = 0.5 we get

$0.5\times y = 0.24$

∴ y = 0.48

Put x = 0.25

$0.25\times y = 0.24$

∴ y = 0.96

Put x = 2

$2\times y = 0.24$

∴ y = 0.12

The population of a country has been decreasing for several decades. In 1990, the population was about 165 million people. In

Lorico [155]

To find percent decrease and increase you must subtract the original value (old value) with the new value. Then divide the value you get by the original value and multiply by 100:

165-158 = 7

7÷ 165 × 100 = 4.2424....% or 4.2% rounded to 2 significant figures.
