step 1
convert miles to km
1 mile is-----> 1.60934 km
18.5 miles/hour-----> 18.5*1.60934=29.77 km/hour

step 2
convert km/hour to km/minutes
29.77 km/hour--------> 29.77/60----> 0.4962 km/minutes

step 3
by proportion
0.4962 km/1 minutes=125 km/x minutes
0.4962 km----------> 1 minute
125 km-------------> x

x=125/0.4962----> x=251.91 minutes---------> x=251.9 minutes

the answer is
251.9 minutes

Alternative Method

step 1
convert km to miles
1 km is-----> 0.621371 miles
125 km-----> 125*0.621371--->77.67 miles

step 2
convert miles/hour to miles/minutes
18.5 km/hour--------> 18.5/60----> 0.3083 miles/minutes

step 3
by proportion
0.3083 miles/1 minutes=77.67 miles/x minutes
0.3083 miles----------> 1 minute
77.67 miles-------------> x

x=77.67/0.3083----> x=251.9 minutes

Describe and correct the error in using properties of parallelograms.
sesenic [268]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal to each other.

Therefore, <S = <U, and <T = <V

Consecutive angles of a parallelogram are supplementary.

Therefore,

m<S + m<V = 180°

50° + m<V = 180°

m<V = 180° - 50° (subtraction property of equality)

m<V = 130°

Find the equation of the line in y=mx+b form with slope 3 that passes through the point (5,19)
Kipish [7]
Point slope form:
we need a point (x₀,y₀) and the slope (m).
y-y₀=m(x-x₀)

In this case:
 m=3
(5,19)

y-19=3(x-5)
y-19=3x-15
y=3x-15+19
y=3x+4

Answer: y=3x+4
