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!

Suppose you buy a $50 coffee maker in an area where the sales tax is 8%. When you check out, 8% of $50 would be added to your to

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

8% is also 8/100. This would be true for all percents 0 to 100%. If it were 42% it can be written as 42/100.

So, 8% is 8/100. If you want to find 8/100 of 50 multiply them.

8/100 * 50/1 = (8*50) /100

400/100 = 4

The volume of a cylinder is 2,200π cubic inches. The diameter of the circular base is 10 inches. what is the height of the cylin

umka21 [38]

If the diameter of the cylinder's base is 10, then the radius is half that, or 5.

$\bf \textit{volume of a cylinder}\\\\
V=\pi r^2 h\qquad 
\begin{cases}
r=radius\\
h=height\\
------\\
r=5\\
V=2200\pi 
\end{cases}\implies 2200\pi =\pi (5)^2h
\\\\\\
\cfrac{2200\pi }{\pi (5)^2}=h\implies \cfrac{2200}{25}=h\implies 88=h$
