Time = 11/2 = 5 1/2
Road = 4 1/2 miles
Speed = 5 1/2 : 4 1/2 = 1 2/9 <------------answer

Answer: 3 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Aubrey can walk 4\dfrac{1}{2} miles in 1\dfrac{1}{2} hours.

We can first convert the mixed fraction into improper fraction.

i.e. Distance =  4\dfrac{1}{2}\text{ miles}=\dfrac{4(2)+1}{2}=\dfrac{9}{2}\text{ miles}

Time = 1\dfrac{1}{2}\text{ hours}=\dfrac{2(1)+1}{2}=\dfrac{3}{2}\text{ hours}

Now, the average speed in miles per hour =\dfrac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}}

i.e. the average speed in miles per hour =\dfrac{\dfrac{9}{2}}{\dfrac{3}{2}}

i.e.  the average speed in miles per hour =\dfrac{9}{3}

i.e.  the average speed in miles per hour =3

Hence, her average speed is 3 miles per hour.

Answer:

L=7.295

Step-by-step explanation:

I can't type in a square root symbol so here's the sequence:

divide both sides by 2 Pi

square both sides

now you have:

.227973=L/32

multiply both sides by 32

L=7.295

A storage shed is to be built in the shape of a box with a square base. It is to have a volume of 250 cubic feet. The concrete f
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

the dimensions of the most economical shed are height = 10 ft and side 5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

volume = 250 cubic feet

base costs = $4 per square​ foot

material for the roof costs =  ​$6 per square​ foot

material for the sides costs = ​$2.50 per square foot

to find out

the dimensions of the most economical shed

solution

let us consider length of side x and height is h

so we can say x²h = 250

and h = 250 / x²

now cost of material  = cost of base + cost top + cost 4 side

cost  = x²(4) + x²(6)  + 4xh (2.5)

cost = 10  x² + 10xh

put here h = 250 / x²

cost = 10  x² + 10x (250/ x² )

cost = 10  x² +  (2500/ x )

differentiate and  we get

c' = 20 x - 2500 / x²

put c' = 0 solve x

20 x - 2500 / x²  = 0

x = 5

so we say one side is 5 ft  base

and height is  h = 250 / x²

h = 250 / 5²

height = 10 ft

Determine whether the following system is consistent or inconsistent and if it is independent or dependent.
Lyrx [107]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  consistent, independent

Step-by-step explanation:

Systems of equations are most easily classified these ways if the equations are in the same form. If we solve the second equation for y, we have ...

  y = x - 1

The x-coefficients of this and the first equation are different, so the system is <em>consistent</em> and <em>independent</em>.

__

A system is independent if the equations describe different lines.

A system is inconsistent if the equations describe parallel lines.

Here, the different lines are not parallel, so the system is independent and consistent.

F(x)= square root x-3
mariarad [96]

I would use a graphing tool like desmos or geogebra, or a texas instruments graphing calculator, there a number of tools out there. The first two options are free online tools. Using technology to graph is much preferred over doing it by hand.

If you must do it by hand, then the idea is to plug in various values of x to get corresponding values of y. For instance, if x = 7, then

y = sqrt(x-3)

y = sqrt(7-3)

y = sqrt(4)

y = 2

So the point (x,y) = (7,2) is on this curve. Repeat for other x values to get more points. Then plot the points all on the same xy grid. Lastly, draw a curve through those points. The more points you have, the more accurate the graph. Use graphing technology to help confirm you have the right graph.

As for the question of one-to-one, you are looking to see if the horizontal line test fails or not. After fully graphing y = sqrt(x-3), try to construct a single horizontal line that will pass through more than one point on the curve. You'll find that such a task is not possible in this case; therefore, this graph passes the horizontal line test and consequently the graph is one-to-one.

An example where a graph is not one-to-one would be a parabola. It is possible to pass a single horizontal line through more than one point on a parabola.

Please help!!!! thank you!! :)

You would add up the ones taking math, science, and both. Then subtract that from 147. Then divide that by 147, then times by 100. This wouldn't work because 95 + 73 = 168.
