If Bella the cashier can check out 10 people in an hour, how many can she check out in 2⁄5 of an hour?

choli [55]

<h3>Answer: 4 people</h3>

Work Shown:

2/5 = 0.4

(10 people)/(1 hour) = (x number of people)/(0.4 of an hour)

10/1 = x/0.4

10*0.4 = 1*x

4 = x

x = 4

She can check out 4 people in 2/5 of an hour.

Note: 2/5 of an hour = (2/5)*60 = 24 minutes

ashleigh rode her bicycle 26.5 miles in 4 hours which gives the best estimate of how far ashleigh rode in 1 hour.

Advocard [28]

26.5 miles in 4 hours is stating 26.5 miles per 4 miles.
To find out how far it is in one mile, you can either make a proportion or divide 26.5 miles per mile by 4.
Division:
$\frac{26.5}{4}/ \frac{4}{4}$
$\frac{26.5}{4}=6.625$
$\frac{4}{4}=1$
26.5 miles per 4 hours = 6.625 mph
Proportions:
$\frac{26.5}{4}= \frac{x}{1}$
$26.5=4x$
$6.625=x$
In one hour, Ashleigh traveled 6.625 miles in 1 hour.

Find the third angle of a right triangle if one of the angles measures 24.

allochka39001 [22]

In a right triangle, one angle should be a right angle, which means that angle should be 90°. Right angles are always 90°.

And in any triangle, the sum of the 3 interior angles should add up to 180°, this rule is always the same. Therefore, to find the third angle, we should simply subtract the angles we already know from the angle sum of triangle.

We can therefore list this equation:
Third angle = 180° - 24° - 90°
Third angle = 66°

Your answer should be 66°
