Answer:

.009 miles/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{7.5}{10}\frac{feet}{minutes} * \frac{1}{5280} \frac{miles}{feet} *\frac{60}{1}\frac{minutes}{hour}$

This is the method you should take with unit conversions in general, just set up fractions so the units cancel out, like the 7.5 feet cancels out with the feet in the 1/5280 so miles is left on top.

Elainas old bicycle had tires with a 12-inch diameter her new bicycle had tires with a 16-inch diameter what is the difference i

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

The difference between the circumference of the tires is 12.56 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Diameter of old bicycle tires = 12 inch

Diameter of new bicycle tires = 16 inch

We need to find the difference in circumference of the tires.

Solution:

First we will find the circumference of Old bicycle tires.

Circumference can be calculated by π times diameter.

Circumference of Old bicycle tire = $\pi \times 12 = 37.68\ in$

Now we will find the circumference of new bicycle tire.

Circumference of New bicycle tire = $\pi \times 16 = 50.24\ in$

Now to find the difference between the circumference of the tires we will subtract Circumference of New bicycle tire from Circumference of Old bicycle tire we get;

framing in equation form we get;

difference between the circumference of the tires = $50.24-37.68 =12.56\ in$

Hence The difference between the circumference of the tires is 12.56 inches.

Answer:

The equations represent the line that is parallel to 3x - 4y = 7 and pass through the point (-4,-2) are:

$y+2=\frac{3}{4}\left(x+4\right)$

$3x - 4y = -4$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the line equation

$y = mx+b$

where

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

Given the line

3x - 4y = 7

writing in the slope-intercept form

4y = 3x - 7

dividing both sides by 4

4y/4 = 3/4x - 7/4

y = 3/4x - 7/4

Now, comparing with the slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = 3/4x - 7/4

The slope of the line m = 3/4

We know that parallel lines have the same slopes.

Therefore, the slope of the parallel line is: 3/4

now we have,

The point (-4, -2)

The slope m of parallel line = 3/4

Given the point-slope form of the line equation

$y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)$

where m is the slope of the line and (x₁, y₁) is the point

substituting (-4, -2) and m = 3/4 in the point-slope form of line equation

$\:y-\left(-2\right)=\frac{3}{4}\left(x-\left(-4\right)\right)$

$y+2=\frac{3}{4}\left(x+4\right)$

Thus, the equation in the point-slope form of the line equation is:

$y+2=\frac{3}{4}\left(x+4\right)$

Simplifying the equation

$y+2=\frac{3}{4}\left(x+4\right)$

Subtract 3 from both sides

$y+2-2=\frac{3}{4}\left(x+4\right)-2$

$y=\frac{3}{4}x+1$

Multiplying the equation by 4

$4y = 3x + 4$

$3x - 4y = -4$

Therefore, the equations represent the line that is parallel to 3x - 4y = 7 and pass through the point (-4,-2) are:

$y+2=\frac{3}{4}\left(x+4\right)$

$3x - 4y = -4$

Need help solving this problem down below.

Veronika [31]

Answer:

1 / We have the area of a rectangle ABCD = 8 x 16 = 128 ft²

2 / Find the area of an isosceles Δ DEF:

The base of the isosceles ΔDEF => DF = DC- FC = 16 -12 = 4 ft

So the area of Δ DEF = 1/2 (DF x EH) = 1/2 (4 x 6) = 12 ft²

3 / Area of the irregular shape = area ABCB + Area DEF = 128 + 12 = 140 ft²

If the measure of angle 2 is 3x, and the measure of 1 is 5x - 12 what is the measure of angle 9 ?

Mariana [72]

3x+5x-12=180
8x=180+12
8x=192
x=192/8
x=24

angle 1 = 5x-12
=5(24)-12
=120-12
=108

angle 2= 3x =3*24=72

angle 1 = angle 9
angle 9= 108
