You can multiply the number of laps each person ran by the yards in each lap and then add them together:
440 + 2(440) + 3(440) + 4(440)
= 440 + 880 + 1,320 + 1,760
= 4,440 yards
Or you can add the laps first, then multiply by the yards in each lap
(1 + 2 + 3 + 4)(440)
= 10 x 440
= 4,400 yards
Answer:
65mph
Step-by-step explanation:
forget about how far apart the cities are for now instead divide 260/4 because tia has traveled 260M for 4 hours

260/4=65
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a rectanguiar shape like this one is V = L * W * H, where the letters represent Length, Width and Height. Here L is the longest dimension and is 28 - 2x; W is the width and is 22-2x; and finally, x is the height. Thus, the volume of this box must be
V(x) = (28 - 2x)*(22 - 2x)*x
and we want to maximize V(x).
One way of doing that is to graph V(x) and look for any local maximum of the graph. We'd want to determine the value of x for which V(x) is a maximum.
Another way, for those who know some calculus, is to use the first and second derivatives to identify the value of x at which V is at a maximum.
