The speed of sound in air on a certain stormy day is about 1130 feet per second. You see a flash of lightning striking some dist

ance away, and seven seconds later you hear the clap of thunder. How many miles away did the lightning strike? Round your answer to the nearest mile. Note: The speed of light is so much faster than the speed of sound that you can assume that the strike occurs at the instant you see it.

Answer:

distance = 1.5 miles(approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

speed of sound = 1130 ft/s        

1 ft = 0.3048            

1130 ft/s = 0.3048 × 1130 m/s      

              = 344.424 m/s          

time = 7 second                

distance = speed × time                

distance = 344.424 × 7              

distance = 2410.968 m                    

1 m = 0.0006214 miles                    

2410.968 m =  (0.0006214 ×  2410.968) miles    

distance = 1.498 miles                        

distance = 1.5 miles(approx.)

If Lebron can run 12 laps in 2 hours, approximately how long will it take him to run 60 laps?
ddd [48]

Answer:

10 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up a proportion using the following setup.

hours/laps=hours/laps

We know that it takes him 2 hours to run 12 laps. We don't know how long it will take him to run 60 laps, so we can say it takes x hours to run 60 laps.

2 hours/12 laps=x hours/60 laps

2/12=x/60

We want to find out what x is. In order to do this, we have to get x by itself. Perform the opposite of what is being done to the equation. Keep in mind, everything done to one side, has to be done to the other.

x is being divided by 60. The opposite of division is multiplication, so multiply both sides by 60.

60*2/12=x/60*60

60*2/12=x

10=x

It will take Lebron 10 hours to run 60 laps.
