A plane has an altitude of 23760 feet which expression can I use to find the altitude in miles

Perhaps we can treat this as a "distance to horizon" problem, the observer is 7 mi above the earth

One formula is: d+=+sqrt%28%283h%29%2F2%29 where d is in miles and h is in feet

Change 7 mi; 5280*7 = 36960 ft

so we have

d = sqrt%28%283960%2A3%29%2F2%29

d ~ 235.5 mi

looking in opposite directions a total of 2*235 = 471 mi can be viewed

Find the circumference of the earth

C = pi%2A8000

C = 25133 mi

:

The arc: 471%2F25133 * 360 = 6.7 degrees

:

This should be pretty close, because the earth is so large compared to the altitude. would appreciate if it you would let me know. C

Terrell got 1 3/4 pounds of ground meat and 2 1/6 of ground chicken. he used 1 2/3 pounds of ground chicken to make a casserole.
babunello [35]

Answer:

Okay so we have to solve this in separate parts. Like so, its wiill go like this: 2+ 1/6 - 1 - 2/3. So we see that we have 2 and 1 as whole. Subtract 2 - 1 is 1 right. Now for fractional part 1/6 - 2/3. Since its uneven, we have to find the LCD which is 6. This forms of our fractions into 1/6- 4/6. 1/6 - 4/6 is 3/6. simplify it would result in 1/2.  The amount of ground chicken that Terrell has left is 1/2.

Fantom [35]

Answer:

Danielle earns $1.20 more than Mackenzie (per hour)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much money per hour each person earns, you would divide the earinings by the number of hours;

Danielle: $36.80/4 = $9.20 per hour

MackKenzie: $50.40/6 = $8.40 per hour

To find out how much extra Danielle earns, you would subtract 8.40 from 9.20;

9.40 - 8.20 = $1.20

Thus, Danielle earns $1.20 more than Mackenzie per hour.
