Answer:

43 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

How far is referring to the distance between the two numbers given.

In general, the distance between two numbers, a and b,

is given by |b-a| .

You have that you are finding the distance between -45.5 ft and -88.5 ft.

So the distance between those numbers is given by:

|-45.5-(-88.5)|

|-45.5+88.5|

|88.5-45.5|

|43.0|

|43|  

43      (Since the number inside the | | has a distance of 43 from 0)

The distance between -45.5 ft and -88.5 ft is 43 ft.

A giraffe can run 32 miles per hour. What is the speed in feet per second? (1 mile = 5280 ft)
velikii [3]

Set up your conversion using dimensional analysis. That's just a fancy way of saying set up your values so you cancel what you don't need and keep what you do. If we want to convert miles per hour to feet per second, we need to convert the miles to feet using the fact that there are 5280 feet in 1 mile, and then convert the hours to seconds using the fact that there are 3600 seconds in an hour. Your set up will look like this (it's all about setting up the fractions correctly): \frac{32miles}{hour}*\frac{5280feet}{1mile}*\frac{1hour}{3600seconds}. If you look at that closely, you can see the there is a label of miles on the top in the first fraction and on the bottom in the second fraction. Those cancel each other out by reducing. Then in the bottom of the first fraction there is hours and in the top of the last fraction there is hours. Those cancel out. From top to bottom or bottom to top you can cancel like labels. This leaves us with feet in the top and seconds in the bottom. Now it's a matter of doing the math. You multiply straight across the top and straight across the bottom. \frac{168960feet}{3600seconds}. Simplifying you get 46.933 feet per second.

Suppose there is this little town with a finite number of people: (1) No two inhabitants have exactly the same number of hairs.
Vadim26 [7]

The highest possible number of inhabitants in that little town are 743.

<h3>What are inhabitant?</h3>

A person or animal that lives in a place is called as the inhabitant.

Suppose there is this little town with a finite number of people: (1) No two inhabitants have exactly the same number of hairs. (2) No inhabitant has exactly 743 hairs or no hairs at all. (3) There are more inhabitants than there are hairs on the head of any inhabitant.

Let say there are 519 people in the town. and make them stand in a line with increasing number of hairs on their heads. This way, there will be a person on the last, who has no hair.

There are more number of people than the hairs. From bald to 742 hairs, 743 is the limit.

Thus, the highest possible number of inhabitants in that little town are 743.
