A turtle moves an an average speed of 12 inches/hour. How long does it take the turtle to travel 8 inches?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Korvikt [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

40 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this problem through finding the proportion...

Let the time taken to travel 8 inches at the speed be x

Hence, 12:60 :: 8:x

We must multiply the extremes and the nears..

Hence,

12x=60×8

x=60×8/12

x=40 minutes

two airplanes are flying in the air at the same height: airplane a is flying east at $$ mi/h and airplane b is flying north at $
olga55 [171]

The distance between the airplanes changing is  -390.

<h3>Calculation:</h3>

The miles from the airport to Airplane A can be calculated as follows: a = 30 -250t, where t is in hours.

<h3>Similar to airplane A, airplane B's distance from the airport can be expressed as...</h3>

b = 40 -300t

Using the Pythagorean theorem, one can calculate the separation (d) between the aircraft:

d^2 = a^2 + b^2

<h3>Depending on the passage of time, we have...</h3>

2dd' = 2aa' + 2bb', and d' = (aa' + bb')/d.

<h3>The values of its variables at t=0 must be determined in order to determine the numerical value of this</h3>

a = 30 -2500 = 30 a' = -250 b = 40 -3000 = 40 b' = -300

d = √(a²+b²) = √(900+1600) = 50

Then, d' = (30(-250) +40(-300))/50 = -19500/50 = -390

At a speed of 390 miles per hour, the space between the aircraft is closing.

<h3>How far apart are the equation's two planes?</h3>

The distance between the two planes is going to be the square root of six, therefore if we solve for d, multiply both sides of this equation by the square root of six, we obtain six is equal to negative d, or d is equal to negative six.

<h3>How widely apart are commercial airplanes?</h3>

For a commercial airliner, separation will typically be at least 3 miles laterally or 1,000 feet vertically (as stated in the question). The 5 mile rule is applied laterally in the enroute environment, at greater operating speeds over 10,000 feet, depending on the kind of radar and distance from the antennae.

Answer:

32x-24y-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distributive property and multiply 4 by each term in the parentheses. 4 times 8x = 32x and 4 times -6y = -24y.

There are 10 marbles in a bag. 1/5 are red and the others are blue. What is the ratio to blue marbles.
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Ratio = 1 : 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Total marbles = 10

Given 1/5 is red, that is 1/5 of the total marbles are red

                                                            \frac{1}{5} \ of \ 10 = \frac{1}{5} \times 10 = 2

Therefore , 10 - 2 = 8 marbles are blue.

Ratio of red marbles to blue marbles

                                    \frac{2}{8} = \frac{1}{4} = 1 : 4
