Answer:

The equation that can be used to determine m, the number of minutes it will take the helicopter to reach the  hospital is 172 \times (\frac{m}{60} ) = 80.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a medical rescue helicopter is flying at an average speed of 172 miles per hour toward its base hospital. At 2:42 p.m., the helicopter is 80 miles from the hospital.

As we know that the Distance-Speed-Time formula is given by;

                           \text{Distance} = \text{Speed}\times \text{Time}

Here, Distance = 80 miles

          Speed = 172 miles per hour

          Time = m (the number of minutes)

Firstly, as we can see that the speed is in miles per hour but the time is in minutes, so we will convert the time in hours, i,e;

           Time = \frac{\text{m}}{60} \text{ (in hours)}

So,  \text{Distance} = \text{Speed}\times \text{Time}

       80 = 172 \times (\frac{\text{m}}{60})

       \text{m} = \frac{80 \times 60}{172}

       m = 27.91 ≈ 28 minutes.

Hence, it will take 28 minutes for the helicopter to reach the  hospital.

Estimate the unit rate.<br> 283 students in 11 classes
Archy [21]

Answer:

So estimate.

Really depends on what needs to be estimated, the answer or the overall equation.
So doing the real one first.
283/11 = 25 8/11

You can’t have “part” of a student so rounding this you can go up since 8 is more then half of 11

So 26 students

If you were to round the overall equation then you’d get
280 / 10 which is 28 students per class

So two options.
