Answer: The correct option is

(D) 0.85 miles/min.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the unit rate for the following situation :

"driving 140 miles in 2 hour 45 min."

We know that

1 hour = 60 minutes.

So, we get

2 hours 45 minutes = 2 × 60 + 45 = 120 + 45 = 165 minutes.

Now, we will use the UNITARY method.

In 165 minutes, distance drove = 140 miles.

Therefore, in 1 minutes, distance drove is given by

$\dfrac{140}{165}=0.848484...=0.85~\textup{miles}.$

Thus, the required unit rate is 0.85 miles/minute.

Option (D) is CORRECT.

2 hr and 45 minutes is = to 165min, so do 140 divided by 165, and you will get 0.8484miles per minute, which is D

Solve for x. x + 1.91 = 8.53

EleoNora [17]

X=6.62

x+1.91=8.53

you have to subtract 1.91 from both sides of the equation to get x alone on one side of the equation. Once you do that you end up with x on one side and 6.62 on the other side, giving you the answer to x.

Each letter of the word "thunderstorm" has been written on a separate slip of paper and put into a box. Find the probability of

xxTIMURxx [149]

SOLUTION

From the question, we want to find the probability of selecting a slip of paper with the letter t on it, then selecting the letter r, with replacement.

This means the probability of selecting t and r.

That is

$P(t)\times P(r)$

There are 12 letters (total outcomes). And there are 2r and 2t.

So probability becomes

$\begin{gathered} \frac{possible\text{ outcome}}{\text{total outcome }} \\ P(t)=\frac{2}{12} \\ P(r)=\frac{2}{12} \\ P(t)\times P(r)=\frac{2}{12}\times\frac{2}{12} \\ =\frac{1}{6}\times\frac{1}{6} \\ =\frac{1}{36} \end{gathered}$

Hence the answer is

$\frac{1}{36}$

How many ways can 6 basketball players be listed in order in a program?

aivan3 [116]

<span>There are 720 distinct permutations, or ways in which things can be rearranged. The formula is n!=n * (n-1) * (n-2) * (n-3) * (n-4) * (n-5) * (n-6) or, 6!=6*5*4*3*2*1=720. Therefore, the six basketball players can listed in 720 ways on the program.</span>

There are 100 tiles that were purchased to raise money for a new playground. The tiles will be laid along a walkway. Each tile i

Aneli [31]

Answer:

<h2>475 inches</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

You are right

Step one:

we are told that the total number of tiles is 100 in number

since each tile has a lenght of 4.75 inches each

a way to this is to add 4.75+4.75+4.75+...........................<em> in a hundred places to find the lenght.</em>

Step two:

Another way is to multiply 4.75 by 100 which is

=4.75*100= 475 in

<u>Hence the tile will cover 475 inches along the way</u>
