0 A two-inch-long grasshopper can jump a horizontal distance of 40 inches. An athlete, who is _ five feet nine, wants to cover a

distance of one mile by jumping. If this person could jump at the same ratio of body-length to jump-length as the grasshopper, determine, to the nearest jump, how many jumps it would take this athlete to jump one mile?

Answer:

a) nearest jump is JL = 1380 inches = 115ft

b) number of jumps in 1 mile N= 46 jumps

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the jump length is proportional to the body length.

If 2 inch grasshopper can jump 40 inches.

JL = k(BL)

k = JL/BL

where JL = jump length = 40 inches

BL = Body length = 2 inches.

k = 40/2 = 20

The constant of proportionality is 20.

For the athlete :

BL = 5ft 9 inches = 5(12)+9 = 69 inches.

The jump length of the athlete is:

JL = k(BL) = 20(69)

JL = 1380 inches. = 115ft

The number of jumps in 1 mile is

1 mile = 63360 inches

N = 63360/1380

N = 45.9 = 46

N= 46

Therefore, 46 jumps would be needed.

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

48

Step-by-step explanation:

the number of shirts are 3, number of pants 4, number of socks pairs 2 and 2 pairs of shoes.

first lets start with shirts and pants, number of unique combinations are,

(for each shirt there are 4 different pant combinations) = (3)(4)

=12

similiarly for each shirt pant pair there are 2 shoes and 2 socks pairs.

thus, total number of combinations are=

(12)(2)(2)

= 48

Use the coordinate grid to determine the coordinates of point A;
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of point P are (-1.4,0.6)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given A coordinate grid shown from negative 2 to positive 2 on x-axis and negative 2 to positive 2 on y-axis. There are 4 grid lines between a whole unit of the grid.

that means each grid has a value of 0.2.

" A point labeled P is shown at the intersection of 7 grid lines to the left of the y-axis and 3 grid lines above the x-axis "

As P lies on the left of the y-axis and above the x-axis hence the x-value will be negative and y-value will be positive.

According to the given information P lies 7 grid lines to the left of y-axis.

i.e. it has x-value -7×0.2= -1.4

and 3 grid lines above the x-axis i.e. it has y-value:

y-value= 3×0.2=0.6

Hence, the coordinates of Point P are (-1.4,0.6).
