Answer:
1. 1.5 inches per minute
2. 90 inches per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
speed = 
1. total distance covered = 
+ 
= 
= 
= 4
inches
Total time taken = 
+ 
= 
= 
= 3 minutes
The ants average speed = 
= 1
= 1.5
The ants speed is 1 inches per minute.
2. Since;
60 minutes = 1 hour
3 minutes = x hours
x = 
= 
= 0.05 hours
Speed = 
= 90 inches per hour
The red ants speed is 90 inches per hour.
Answer:
12 is 3 percent of 40.
Step-by-step explanation:
If you divide 12 by 40, you get 0.3. 0.3 as a fraction is 3/100. So, it would be 3% of 100.
Answer:
8*2^(n-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a geometric sequence since we multiply from the previous term.
a_n = a_1 * common ratio^(n-1) where a_n is the nth number and a_1 is the first.
The first term is 8, so we have
a_n = 8*<common ratio>^(n-1) = 8*2^(n-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Using absolute value to tell wether the sum of two integers is positive or negative.
Suppose we have a positive integer,
x and a negative interger, -x and we want to find their sum, we take the absolute values of each of the integers, that is |x| and |-x|. Then we subtract these values: |x| - |-x|. If the larger integer is positive, the result of the difference is positive, but if the larger number is negative, the result of the difference is negative.
For any integer x, x + (-x) = 0
