Is 1.5 miles greater than 2500 yards

Hey there!

According to our customary units of miles, 1 mile is equal to 5,280 feet - and 3 feet is a yard. That means, we have to divide 5,280 by 3 to figure out how many yards are in a mile:

5280/3 = 1760

That means that one mile is 1760 yards. But we're not finished yet. It says 1/5 miles, not one mile. Therefore, we take one half of the total distance in yards of a mile and add it to that 1760, because it's 1.5, or 1-and-a-half. Which, in technical terms means "1-plus-a-half".

We have:

1760 + 1760/2 = 1760 + 880 = 2640

Therefore, 1/5 miles, since it's 2640 yards, is greater than the 2500 yards specified in the question.

Hope this helps!

The answer is yes

1.5 miles > 2500 yards

1 mile = 5280 feet

1 yard = 3 feet

1.5 miles = 7920 feet 

 2500 yards = 7500 feet

7920 feet > 7500 feet

Hope I helped!

Determine the value of angle x and angle y
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

80

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of interior angles of a polygon = (n-1)x180= (6-2)x180=720

Since this looks like a regular hexagon each interior angle =720/6=120

Hence the inside angle touching the line is 120 (inside the hexagon)

Since one side of the hexagon is parallel to the line, y and 20 form adjacent angle, sum 180,

Then y= 180-20=160

Then x=360-(160+120)=80 because sum of all angles round a point=360

Find the measure of A.<br> A. 50<br> B. 70<br> C. 100<br> D. 90
dlinn [17]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't know how to eliminate the wrong answers.

Two line segments which have one end at a diameter and the other end meeting at a common point, make a 90 degree angle.

A is made that way, so A is 90 degrees.

Find the values of x and y.
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

x=15.75 y=59

Step-by-step explanation:

In total there is 360 degrees. We know y is 59 so we will replace it with that.

59+59=118. 360-118=242. 242/2=121. 29+29=58. So we can subtract that to equal 63. Now 63=4x. We can divide so 2x=31.5. x=15.75.

Therefore, 15.75=x and 59=y

I hope this helped ^^.
