We have the following variables:
H = Haley's house
E= Ellen's house
D = Dirk's house

In the figure below we can see the representation of this problem.

Given that there are two measurements with different units, namely, the distance between Haley and Ellen's houses is in miles and the distance between Haley and Dirk's houses is in feet, we need to convert one of these units.

As the final question demands which house is farther away from Haley's, we will convert the distance between Haley and Ellen's houses from miles to feet, so:

1mi = 5280ft

1.41mi(\frac{5280ft}{1mi}) = 7444.8ft

So:
The distance between Haley and Ellen's houses = 7444.8ft
The distance between Haley and Dirk's houses = 6547ft

Then Ellen's house is farther away from haley's, and <span>the nearest whole foot is:
</span>7444ft

Answer: Ellen's house is farther away by 898 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The distance between Haley's house and Ellen's house = 1.41 miles

We know that 1 mile = 5,280 feet

Then, 1.41\text{ miles}=1.41\times5,280\text{ feet}=7,444.8\text{ feet}

The distance between Haley's house and Dirk's house = 6,547 feet

Clearly, 6,547<7,444.8

And 7444.8-6547= 897.8\approx898

Therefore, Ellen's house is farther away by 898 feet.

(PLEASE HELP ) A falcon flies 800,000 meters in 4 hours. Use the formula d = rt, where d represents distance, r represents rate,
blagie [28]

Answer:

r = d/t

r = 200, 000 meters/hour

r = 200, kilometers/hour

km/ hour makes more sense

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

) A falcon flies 800,000 meters in 4 hours.

thus distance = 800, 000 meters

1 km = 1000 meters

thus distance in km=  800, 000 meters/1000 = 800 km

t = h hours

Part A: Rearrange the distance formula, d = rt, to solve for rate.

d = rt

dividing both sides by t

d/t = rt/r = r

thus. r = d/t

Part B: Find the falcon's rate in meters per hour.

d = 800, 000 meters

t = 4 hours

r = 800, 000 meters/ 4 hours = 200, 000 meters/hour

thus, rate =  200, 000 meters/hour

Part C: Find the falcon's rate in kilometers per hour.

we know d in km = 800 km as shown above

thus

rate = 800 km/4 hours = 200 km/hour

Part D: Which unit, meters, or kilometres, makes more sense to use in this scenario, and why

we know that standard unit of speed is

km/hour and m/sec

we know that that every unit is divided into from to large so that if the value is large or small we can use the appropriate unit and thus it is simpler to look the data and analyze it.

since here distance is very large , hence it is better to use km /hour
