Answer: 8.4 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, total distance = 24.5 miles,

Time taken =  175 \text{ minutes} = \frac{175}{60} \text{ hours} =\frac{35}{12} \text{ hours}

Thus,

\text{ The unit rate} = \frac{\text{ Total distance}}{\text{ Time taken}}

=\frac{24.5}{35/12}

=\frac{294}{35}

=8.4\text{ miles per hour}

Priya bought these items at the grocery store. Find each unit price. A. 12 eggs for $3. How much is the cost per egg? B. 3 pound
Ratling [72]

Answer: A. Cost per egg = $4 .

B. Cost per pound = $ 2.5

C. Cost per roll = $ 0.5

D. Cost per apple = $0.35

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula: cost per item = (total cost) ÷ (number of items)

A. 12 eggs for $3.

Cost per egg = $ (12÷3) = $4

So, Cost per egg = $4 .

B. 3 pounds of peanuts for $7.50

Cost per pound of peanuts = $ (7.50 ÷ 3)= $ 2.5

So, Cost per pound = $ 2.5

C. 4 rolls of toilet paper for $2.

Cost per roll = $ (2 ÷4 ) = $ 0.5

So, Cost per roll = $ 0.5

D.  10 apples for $3.50.

Cost per apple = $ (3.50 ÷ 10)= $ 0.35

So,  Cost per apple = $0.35

Which choices are equivalent to the exponential expression below? check all that apply. (2/3)^3
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

B. (2/3) x (2/3) x (2/3)

C. 8/27

D. 2^3 /3^3

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to know the following property

\LARGE \left(\frac{a}{b} \right)^c = \frac{a^c}{b^c}

Exponent also means you're multiplying the same number for an 'n' number of times.

For example, 2^3 = 2 * 2 * 2

we multiply it by itself 3 times since 3 is the exponent.

x^y

x is the base, y is the exponent

we read it as x to the power of y

If the exponent is 2, we say it as x squared

If the exponent is 3, we say it as x cubed
