Answer:

C. 5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we need to find how many miles they ran together, let us convert feet to miles. Sarah's length is already in miles so we'll leave it that way.

Jaime ran 15840 feet. We are given how many feet are there in one mile (5280), so we need to find how many miles are there in 15840 feet.

x = 15840 / 5280 = 3 miles.

So, Jaime ran 3 miles and Sarah ran 2 miles.

That means that together they ran 3 + 2 = 5 miles.

The graph would be continuous because height is a continuous variable as if can be exactly, say, 167 cm, but it can also be 153.53 cm.

$\bf \qquad \textit{Amount for Exponential Decay}
\\\\
A=P(1 - r)^t\qquad 
\begin{cases}
A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\
P=\textit{initial amount}\to &3600\\
r=rate\to 32\%\to \frac{32}{100}\to &0.32\\
t=\textit{elapsed time}\to &5\\
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
A=3600(1-0.32)^5\implies A=3600(0.68)^5\implies A\approx 523.41601$

How do you solve this whole thing please?

NemiM [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's look at the first two, and hopefully you'll be able to figure the rest out:

1. Answer below

$d = rt$

The problem asks us to solve for $r$ , so that means we need to get $r$ on one side of the equation by itself. To do so, we will need to divide both sides of the equation by $t$ :

$\frac{d}{t} = \frac{rt}{t}$

$\frac{d}{t} = r$

2. Answer below

$B = T - Lc$

The problem asks us to solve for $T$ , so that means we need to get $T$ on one side of the equation by itself. To do so, we will need to add $Lc$ to both sides of equation:
