Answer:

1 2/9 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

55 mph

55 / 60 = 11/12

11/12 of a mile = 1 minute

45 mph

45 / 60 = 3/4

3/4 of a mile = 1 minute

11/12 divided by 3/4

11/12 * 4/3

We can cross-cancel

11/3 * 1/3 = 11/9 = 1 2/9

It takes 1 2/9 minutes for the hummingbird to cross the lake

Hope this helps!

Read the problem and examine the diagram.
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

Option A: The answer should be 10% of 6 is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

6 students play trumpet. As they represent 10% of the total students.

Let,

x represent the number of students in the band.

10% of x = 6

By solving this, we will get the value for number of students in the band.

As x will be our answer,

The choices B, C and D are correct in the given scenario.

However,

10% of 6 cannot be the solution to the problem.

Hence,

Option A: The answer should be 10% of 6 is the correct answer.

What are the coordinates of point B?
zaharov [31]

Point a is at (-2,4) => (x1,y1)

Midpoint is (2.5, 3.5) => (a,b)

Point B is (x2, y2)

To find midpoint we use formula

(a=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} , b= \frac{y_1+y_2}{2})

a= 2.5, b= 3.5, x1= -2  and y1= 4

Plug in all the values and findout x2, y2

(2.5=\frac{-2+x_2}{2} , 3.5= \frac{4+y_2}{2})

multiply 2 on both sides to remove fraction

(5 = -2+x2 , 7 = 4+ y2)

5 = -2+x2, so x2= 7

7 = 4+ y2, so y2= 3

The point B is ( 7, 3)

compare the method of using expanded form and the method of using place value to multiply a decimal and a whole number
Zigmanuir [339]
Unfortunately, multiplying and dividing decimals this effect does not occur. In some cases, the decimal number even complicates the operatsii.Dlya beginning, we introduce a new definition. We will meet him very often, and not only in this part of uroke.Znachaschaya - is all that is between the first and the last non-zero digit, including the ends. It's only about numbers, the decimal point is not uchityvaetsya.Tsifry included in the meaningful part of the number, are called significant figures. They may be repeated or even be zero.

Problem 5.A miner is trapped inside a mine and has access to 3 doors. The first door leads to a tunneland can take him to safety
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

Expected time is 15 hours for him to get to safety.

Step-by-step explanation:

We define X as the time that this miner would get to safety.

We define Y as the door he chooses initially.

P(Y= 1) = P(Y=2)=P(Y=3) = 1/3

We have E[X|Y=1] = 3

E[X|Y] = 5 hours + E[X}

E[X|Y] = 7 hours + E[X]

Then we have

E[X] = 1/3(3 + 5 + E[X] + 7 + E[X])

We cross multiply

3*E[X] = (15 + 2E[x])

3E[X] - 2E[X] = 15

E[X] = 15

So the time it would take to get him to safety is 15 hours
