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>).

Equation using the quadratic fromula for 0.05x^2 + 1.1x = 250

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

x=60.56, x=-82.56

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve using quadratic formula

Formula is

$x=\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

0.05x^2 + 1.1x = 250

Subtract 250 on both sides

0.05x^2 + 1.1x - 250=0

a= 0.05, b=1.1 , c=-250

Plug in the values in the formula

$x=\frac{-1.1+-\sqrt{(1.1)^2-4(0.05)(-250)}}{2(0.05)}$

$x=\frac{-1.1+-7.156116265}{0.1}$

Now make two equations , one with + and one with -

then we solve for x

$x=\frac{-1.1+7.156116265}{0.1}$

x=60.56

$x=\frac{-1.1-7.156116265}{0.1}$

x=-82.56
