The Kentucky Derby distance is 20 furlongs. How far is the Kentucky Derby in​ rods and fathoms?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Leona [35]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The distance is equivalent to 800 rods and 2200 fathoms.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The distance of the Kentucky Derby in furlongs is 20 furlongs.

Now, in order to convert the distance in rods and fathoms, we use the conversion factor for each.

We know that,

1 furlong = 40 rods.

Therefore, the conversion factor is \frac{40\ rods}{1\ furlong}

So, 20 furlongs is equivalent to rods =20\ furlongs\times \frac{40\ rods}{1\ furlong}=800\ rods

Therefore, 20 furlongs is equivalent to 800 rods.

Now, we also know that,

1 furlong = 110 fathoms

So, the conversion factor is \frac{110\ fathoms}{1\ furlong}

So, 20 furlongs is equivalent to rods =20\ furlongs\times \frac{110\ fathoms}{1\ furlong}=2200\ fathoms

Therefore, 20 furlongs is equivalent to 2200 fathoms.

A sailboat's Saul has three sides that are all the same length. Each side measures x - 10 units. The sail's perimeter is 63 unit
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

The value of 'x' is 31 unit

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Measure of each side = x-10\ units

Perimeter of sails  = 63 units.

We need to find the value of x.

Solution:

Now we can see that from given data.

A sailboat's Saul has three sides.

Now assuming it to be triangle we get;

"Perimeter of triangle is equal to sum of all side."

So we can say that;

x-10+x-10+x-10 =63\\\\3x-30=63

Now adding both side by 30 we get;

3x-30+30=63+30\\\\3x=93

Now dividing both side by 3 we get;

\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{93}{3}\\\\x=31 \ units

Hence the value of 'x' is 31 units.

What is 347,168 round to then thoudands
Finger [1]

Answer:

347,168 rounded to the nearest ten thousands would be 350,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

When rounding to the nearest ten thousands, you rely on the thousands place value to indicate whether to round up or down. 5 or higher give it a shove, 4 or less let it rest. 7 is in the thousands place meaning we round up. 4 is in the ten thousands place meaning it becomes 5. 347,168 rounded to the nearest ten thousands would be 350,000.

ivolga24 [154]
If the pool has 18 married and 22 not married, this means there are 40 people total
this means there’s a 18/40 probability that people who are married will be chosen
18/40 = 2/5
There is a 22/40 probability people who are un married will be chosen
22/40 = 11/20
