Answer: A) We need 1 1/2 ft of ribbon

B)$1.60 per foot

C)$2.40 is the total

Step-by-step explanation:

So if the length around the jar is 18 inches and we know that there is 12 inches in a foot, and 3 feet in a yard and $ 4.80 per every 3 feet. These become basis numbers. 18in- 12inch= 6 inch. So now we have 1 1/2 feet of ribbon to cover the circumference of the jar. Now we are left to answer the second question how much does it cost per foot? We can divide 4.80 by 3 to see the total cost of a foot of ribbon. That turns to 1.60 per foot. We divide that by two to cover the 6 inches. And the answer is $2.40 for 1 1/2 feet of ribbon

A train travels from Washington DC to new york(225 miles). The train departs at 4:55 PM and arrives in New York at 7:55 PM. What

mylen [45]

Answer:

The average speed is:

$\var{v}=75\: miles/h$

Step-by-step explanation:

The average speed equation is given by:

$\var{v}=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}$

Were:

Δx is the displacement (225 miles)
Δt is the change in time (3 hours)

Then we have:

$\var{v}=\frac{225}{3}$

$\var{v}=75\: miles/h$

I hope it helps you!

A motorboat travels 165 kilometers in 3 hours going upstream and 510 kilometers in 6 hours going downstream. What is the rate of

nikitadnepr [17]

<h3>Rate of the boat in still water is 70 km/hr and rate of the current is 15 km/hr</h3><h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that,

A motorboat travels 165 kilometers in 3 hours going upstream and 510 kilometers in 6 hours going downstream

Therefore,

Upstream distance = 165 km

Upstream time = 3 hours

<h3><u>Find upstream speed:</u></h3>

$speed = \frac{distance}{time}\\\\speed = \frac{165}{3}\\\\speed = 55$

Thus upstream speed is 55 km per hour

Downstream distance = 510 km

Downstream time = 6 hours

<h3><u>Find downstream speed:</u></h3>

$speed = \frac{510}{6}\\\\speed = 85$

Thus downstream speed is 85 km per hour

<em><u>If the speed of a boat in still water is u km/hr and the speed of the stream is v km/hr, then</u></em>

Speed downstream = u + v km/hr

Speed upstream = u - v km/hr

Therefore,

u + v = 85 ----- eqn 1

u - v = 55 ----- eqn 2

Solve both

Add them

u + v + u - v = 85 + 55

2u = 140

u = 70

<em><u>Substitute u = 70 in eqn 1</u></em>

70 + v = 85

v = 85 - 70

v = 15

Thus rate of the boat in still water is 70 km/hr and rate of the current is 15 km/hr

A statue in the park is 24 feet tall and has a width of 36 inches. Chase was in

NeTakaya

Answer:

<u>22.33 feet tall / 267.96 inches tall</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

The statue is 36 inches wide. If Chase made his model of the statue 16 inches wide, he decreased it by 20 inches. Now change the inches into feet. 36 inches would be 3 feet, 16 inches would be 1.33 feet and 20 inches would be 1.67 feet. <u>24ft - 1.67 = 22.33ft.</u> Now change the answers to inches. 22.33ft will be 267.96 inches tall.
