Answer:
(600 mi) × (5280 ft/mi) × (12 in/ft)
Step-by-step explanation:
A "unit multiplier" is a multiplier that has a value of 1. That is, the numerator and denominator have the same value. For units conversion problems, the numerator quantity has the units you want, and the denominator quantity has the units you're trying to cancel.
You have units of miles. You know that ...
1 mile = 5280 feet
1 foot = 12 inches
You want to get to units of inches. With these conversion factors, you can do it in two steps (as the problem requests). The first conversion is from miles to feet using the unit multiplier (5280 feet)/(1 mile). This gives you a number of feet.
Then the second conversion is from feet to inches, so you use the one that lets you put inches in the numerator and feet in the denominator:
(12 inches)/(1 foot)
When you multiplie these all out, units of miles and feet cancel, and you're left with inches.
_____
With the above conversion factors, you can write unit mulipliers of either ...
(5280 ft)/(1 mi) . . . to convert to feet
or
(1 mi)/(5280 ft) . . . to convert to miles.
Three variable terms appear in this expression. Although 9xy has two variables, they combine to make one term.

Answer: 13
Step-by-step explanation: Alright with the median you take all the numbers "11, 20, 17, 8, 8, 9, 20, 13, 21" and put them in numerical order. "8, 8, 9, 11, 13, 17, 20, 20, 21" Then the middle one is the median, since there are 9 numbers you take the fifth one. In this case it is 13. (Only knew the first one since I have no idea what they mean by quartiles)
Answer:
she worked 9 hours at sporting goods store and 6 hours on piano lessons.
Step-by-step explanation:
total hours=15
8.47x + 17(15-x) = 178.23
8.47x + 225 - 17x = 178.23
225 - 178.23 = 17x - 8.47x
76.77 = 8.53x
x = 76.77 / 8.53
x = 9
therefore she worked 9 hours at sporting goods centre and the remaining hours (15-9) giving piano lessons.
