Answer:

The correct answer is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you are not using a decimal after the whole number the extra zeros are not required. The number can still be recognized without the zeros.

Example: 832,000 km only has three significant numbers, as it can still be recognized without the zeros.

However, 832,000.0 km has seven significant numbers, as it cannot be recognized without the decimal. The number after the decimal says that the number continues into the tenths place, which is required when writing statistics.

Hope this helps!

at 1:30 in the afternoon an old freight train and a new dart express train pull out of the new garland station going in opposite

nydimaria [60]

Solution: The speed of old freight train is 0.5 miles per minute and the speed of new dart express train is 1.5 miles per minute.

Explanation:

Let the speed of old freight train is x miles per minute and the speed of new dart express train is y miles per minute.

It is given that the speed of the dart express train is three times faster than the freight train. So, it can be written as,

$3x=y$ ....(1)

The trains are moving towards the opposite directions, therefore the distance between them is increased at the speed of $(x+y)$ miles per minute.

$Distance=Speed\times Time$

The distance between both train in 15 minutes is represented by $15(x+y)$ .

According to the given information the distance between trains is 30 miles in 15 minutes.

$15(x+y)=30$

$x+y=2$

Use equation (1) and put $y=3x$

$x+3x=2$

$4x=2$

$x=0.5$

Put this value in equation (1), to find the value of y.

$y=3(0.5)$

$y=1.5$

Therefore, the The speed of old freight train is 0.5 miles per minute and the speed of new dart express train is 1.5 miles per minute.

A map has a scale of 1 cm : 21 km. Two cities are 3.1 cm apart on the map. To the nearest tenth of a kilometer, what is the actu

Galina-37 [17]

To answer the problem above, use the concept of ratio and proportion. The ratio between 1 cm to 21 km should be the same as the ratio of 3.1 cm to the actual distance. Let x be the unknown actual distance and mathematically express the situation,

(1 cm/ 21 km) = (3.1 cm / x km)

This equation gives a value for x which is 65.1 km. Therefore, the answer is letter C.
