Answer:

25 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

30 km/hr = (30 km/1 hr)*(1000 m/1 km)*(1 hr/60 min)*(1 min/60 sec)

30 km/hr = (30*1000*1*1)/(1*1*60*60) meters per second

30 km/hr = 8.3333333333 m/s (approximate)

----------

The speed or rate is r = 8.3333333333 meters per second approximately, and the time is t = 3 seconds, so,

distance = rate*time

d = r*t

d = 8.3333333333 * 3

d = 24.9999999999

Due to rounding error, the true answer should be d = 25. We can see this if we opted to use the fraction from of 8.3333... instead of the decimal representation which isn't a perfect exact measurement.

Here's what you need to know in order to answer this:

   1 gallon = 128 fl oz
and
   1 day = 24 hours.

Use those facts to invent fractions equal to ' 1 '.
Then use those to change the units of the "11 fl oz per hour".
You can multiply them ... since their value is ' 1 ', they won't
change the value of the "11 fl oz per hour", only the units.

(11 fl oz/hr) x (24 hr/da) x (1 gal / 128 fl oz)

   = (11 x 24 x 1 / 128) (fl-oz - hr - gal) / (hr - da - fl-oz)

   =     2.0625    gal/da

The variable y has a proportional relationship with

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Constant of proportionality, k, is the ratio of the quantity of variable y to the quantity of variable x.

Using a point on the line, (4, 44),

Constant of proportionality, k = $\frac{y}{x} = \frac{44}{4} = 11$ .

Constant of proportionality of the graph is 11.

2. A local baseball stadium has a total of 2,414 seats, with 221 seats reserved for season ticket holders.

kogti [31]

2414 total seats.......221 reserved.....x = non-reserved.....y = remaining seats

y = 2414 - (x + 221)
y = 2414 - x - 221
y = 2193 - x <=====

Point A is on a number line halfway between −17−17 and 55. Point B is halfway between point A and 0. What integer does the point

julia-pushkina [17]

Find A first by using formula: (a+b)/2= midpoint
so: A = [(-17)+(55)]/2
= 36

Now find B using midpoint formula:
B: (a+b)/2
=36+0/2
=18
