An ant moves 18 millimeters every 5 seconds

Mathematics

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find their rate of speed.

r = d / t

For ant,

Convert millimeters to inches.

1 inch = 25.4 mm

18 mm = 0.7 inch

r = 0.7 / 5

r = 0.14 inches per second

For beetle,

r = 8 / 3

r = 2.7 inches per second

From the rates, you can tell that the beetle crosses the Garden first.

To know how long it takes for the ant to cross is by dividing the length by the rate.

1 yard = 36 inches

13 yards = 468 inches

468 ÷ 0.14 = 668.5 ≈ 669 seconds

In terms of minutes:

11 minutes and 15 seconds

The ant would cross the garden in 11 minutes and 15 seconds (or 669 seconds <em>up to you</em>).

there are 27 red or blue marbles in the bag the number of red marbles is five less than three times the number of the blue marbl

alexdok [17]

So assuming that the total =27
r+b=27
r=-5+3b
r=3b-5
subsitute 3b-5 for r in first equation
3b-5+b=27
4b-5=27
add 5
4b=32
divide by 4
b=8
subsitute
b+r=27
8+r=27
subtracct 8
r=19

red=19
blue=8

Which system of inequalities is represented by the graph?

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

Option 3 is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this graph the red area is above the line y = -1 which represents y ≥ (-1)

Another graph is of a line y = mx + c which passes through (2, -1) and (0, 0)

where m = (y-y')/(x-x') = (1+0)/(0-2) = -1/2

and y intercept c = 0

Therefore line is y = -1/2x

and the blue area will be y ≤ -1/2x below the line.

Hence Option 3 is the answer.

The area of a rectangle is represented by the polynomial x^2+3x-6x-18. What are the length, width, and area of the rectangle if

Nitella [24]

Answer:

Length = 15

Width = 6

Area = 90

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the rectangle = ${x}^{2} + 3x - 6x - 18$

Lets factorise the polynomial

$= > x(x + 3) - 6(x + 3)$

$= > (x + 3)(x - 6)$

We know that Area = Length × Width

Let the length be (x + 3) & width be (x - 6)

Its given in the question that x = 12. So putting the value of x gives ,

Length = $x + 3 = 12 + 3 = 15$

Width = $x - 6 = 12 - 6 = 6$

Area = Length × Width = 15 × 6 = 90
