You have the Cheetah's speed ... it's  (300/2.92)  feet/second .
Now you need to change the units of that fraction to mile/hour.

You can change the numerator, then change the denominator
and put it back together.  To me, that's too many chances to
make a mistake.  I prefer to think of it this way:

Make fractions of helpful unit conversions, like

           (1 mile / 5,280 feet)  and  (3,600 sec/hour) .

In each of these, the numerator and denominator are equal,
so the fraction is equal to ' 1 ', and you can multiply other things
by it without changing the value of the other thing.  That's exactly
what you need.
Watch this:

       (300 ft / 2.92 sec) x (1 mile / 5,280 feet) x (3,600 sec/ 1 hour)

   =  (300 x 1 x 3,600) / (2.92 x 5,280 x 1) (ft-mile-sec/sec-ft-hr)

Look at the units on the end: The 'ft' and 'sec' each appear in the
numerator and denominator, so they can be canceled out, and
you're left with 'mile/hour'.  This gives you a nice check at this
stage that your work so far is correct.  If you had flipped one
of the unit conversions upside down by mistake, then the units 
would be screwy at this point, and you'd know right now to go
back and look for a mistake.

But the units are good, so all you have to do now is stuff the
numbers through your calculator:

     (300 x 1 x 3,600) / (2.92 x 5,280 x 1) (ft-mile-sec/sec-ft-hr)

 =  (1,080,000 / 15,417.6)  mile/hour

 =        70.05  mile/hour

Cheetah ran 300 feet in 2.92 seconds.

Average speed in miles per hour.

Converting 300 feet to mile.
5280 feet  =  1 mile
1 feet    =    (1/5280) mile
300 feet =    (1/5280) * 300 = (300/5280) = (30/528) = (10/176) mile.

2.92 seconds to hour.
3600 seconds  =    1 hour
1 second          =  (1/3600) hour
2.92 seconds    =    2.92 * (1/3600) =  (2.92/3600) hour.

Speed of Cheetah in miles per hour =    (10/176) mile  /  (2.92/3600) hour
                                                     =  70.05 miles/hour

Given an exponential function for compounding interest A(x)= P(.82)^x what is the rate of change
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

For the answer to the question above, it is -18% because to find rate we subtract the rate, in this case, is .82 or 82% - 1 or 100% and that would give you the rate, in this case, its decreasing by an 18%

Ryan is trying a low-carbohydrate diet. He would like to keep the amount of carbs consumed in grams between the levels shown in
pentagon [3]

Compound inequality combines multiple single inequalities.

The solution and interpretation of the inequality is:

<em />x > 50<em> and </em>x < 150<em>.  Ryan needs to consume more than 50 grams of carbohydrates, but less than 150 grams of carbohydrates.</em>

<em />

We have:

110 < 2x + 10 and 2x + 10< 310

Solve for x in both inequalities

110 < 2x + 10

110 -10 < 2x

100 < 2x

Divide both sides by 2

50 < x

Rewrite as:

x > 50

Also, we have:

2x + 10< 310

2x< 310 - 10

2x< 300

Divide by 2

x < 150

So, the solutions to the inequalities are:

x > 50 and x < 150

This means that Ryan needs to consume more than 50 but less than 150 grams of carbohydrates.

Hence, (a) is correct

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer: <em><u>C. the base period amount.</u></em>

<u><em>Explanation: </em></u>While implementing a horizontal analysis on a given income statement, we compute a percentage change in any individual item by dividing the dollar amount of change from base to current  time period with <u><em>the base period amount.</em></u>

i.e. % Change in Individual item = \frac{Current\ Dollar\ - Base\ Dollar }{Base \ period \ amount}

<u><em>Therefore, the correct option in this case is (c)</em></u>
