Given situation:
Mr. jones received 70% of the 1500 vote casts in an election
Question and solution
=> How many votes did Mr Jones received:
=> 1 500 is the total number of voters and 70% of it voted Mr. Jones.
SO let’s start solving to get the number of voters who voted him.
=> 70% = 70 / 100 = .70
=> 1 500 * .70
=> 1 050 , the number of voters who voted him in an election.
Make an equation
6p + p = 28
Combine like terms
7p = 28
Divide
p = 4
Solution: p = 4
Answer:
- arc second of longitude: 75.322 ft
- arc second of latitude: 101.355 ft
Explanation:
The circumference of the earth at the given radius is ...
2π(20,906,000 ft) ≈ 131,356,272 ft
If that circumference represents 360°, as it does for latitude, then we can find the length of an arc-second by dividing by the number of arc-seconds in 360°. That number is ...
(360°/circle)×(60 min/°)×(60 sec/min) = 1,296,000 sec/circle
Then one arc-second is
(131,356,272 ft/circle)/(1,296,000 sec/circle) = 101.355 ft/arc-second
__
Each degree of latitude has the same spacing as every other degree of latitude everywhere. So, this distance is the length of one arc-second of latitude: 101.355 ft.
_____
<em>Comment on these distance measures</em>
We consider the Earth to have a spherical shape for this problem. It is worth noting that the measure of one degree of latitude is almost exactly 1 nautical mile--an easy relationship to remember.
Answer: option 4 x < 175
x/5 < 35
multiply both sides by 5
x < 175
(i can’t do the correct symbol but you get the idea)
