Answer:
The change in height is 6/10 miles per hour and the entire descent will last 150 minutes (2 hours and 30 minutes)
Step-by-step explanation:
The gilder started 1 1/2 miles above the ground, in other words, it started miles above the ground. After 60 minutes it is now miles above the ground.
Therefore, the change in height in one hour is: miles.
Now, we know that the glide descends at a rate of 6/10 miles per hour, we can solve the second part of the problem using the rule of three (or proportions)
<em>If it takes it 60 minutes to descend 6/10 miles, how long it will take it to descend 15/10 miles?</em>
60 minutes --- 6/10= .6
x minutes ---- 15/10= 1.5
Therefore minutes
Thus, the entire descent will last 150 minutes.
Answer:
Therefore after 3 years the height of these tree will be same.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
Type A is 2 feet tall and grows at a rate of 17 inches.
Type B is 10 feet tall and is growing at a rate of 5 inches.
1 feet = 12 inches,
2 feet= (12×2) inches = 24 inches
5 feet= (12×5) inches = 60 inches
Let after t years, the height of these tree will be same.
After t years, the height of type A is =(24+17t)
After t years, the height of type B is =(60+5t)
According to the problem,
24+17t=60+5t
⇒17t-5t=60-24
⇒12t = 36
⇒t =
⇒t=3
Therefore after 3 years the height of these tree will be same.
His hike changed 247 m in elevation.
Answer: 6.25
create a ratio of 2.5/2 = x/5 and solve for x. First multiple both sides by 10 so you get 12.5 = 2x. Then you get x = 6.25.
