Answer:

44 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that;

Speed; v = 60 mph

Reaction time;t = 0.5 s

Now, we know that;

Distance = speed x time

Since time is in seconds, let's convert speed to mph to ft/s

From conversion,

1 mph = 1.46667 ft/s

So, 60 mph would give;

60 × 1.46667 ≈ 88 ft/s

Thus, distance his car travels during his reaction time is;

Distance = 88 × 0.5 = 44 ft

Answer:

Sorry if this isnt helpful: Im just going off stuff i learned to see if this will help you at all. Im only in 7th so.. Sorry in advance!!

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the rate, you need to create a unit rate table thing, like this:

5/3 = ?/1 To do this, you would need to divide 5 by 3 and 3 by 3 to get y and x. You get: 1.666 continued. Rounded, about 1.7 . so your unit rate for part A is 1.7/1. You would do the same thing. 2/3 = ?/1. I will let you solve that :)))

Finished A! Now B:

To compare, we use the butterfly method! so 1.7/1 o ?1. cross multiply, and whichever number is bigger comes on top. Then you would explain why that number is bigger. BAM

What is the probability the dice sum to 8 given that both dice show even numbers?
Ber [7]
With 2 dices we have all 6x6=36 ways.
But for two conditions: sum 8 and both even numbers, we have only: (2;6), (6;2), (4;4). That's all.
And the probability is 3/36= 1/12
