Answer: 12.6 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the ship is doing a circular path.

We know that the ship is 120° from the north, and we want to find the distance that the ship has traveled so far from the most northern tip of the island.

This distance will be equal to the length of the arc of 120°

You can find this as:

Arc = (angle*3.14/180)*radius

arc = (120*3.14/180)*6 miles  = 12.56 miles

Now we need to round it to the nearest tenth, so we need to round it up, and we get 12.6 miles

How do you solve 3/5×4 1/6?
Helen [10]
\frac{3}{5} × 4 \frac{1}{6}

First, convert 4\frac{1}{6} to an improper fraction. Use this rule: a \frac{b}{c} = \frac{ac+b}{c} / Your problem should look like: \frac{3}{5} × \frac{4x6+1}{6}
Second, simplify 4 × 6 to 24. / Your problem should look like: \frac{3}{5} × \frac{24+1}{6} 
Third, simplify 24 + 1 to 25. / Your problem should look like: \frac{3}{5} × \frac{25}{6}
Fourth, apply this rule: \frac{a}{b} × \frac{c}{d} = \frac{ac}{bd} / Your problem should look like: \frac{3x25}{5x6}
Fifth, simplify 3 × 25 to 75. / Your problem should look like: \frac{75}{5x6}
Sixth, simplify 5 × 6 to 30. / Your problem should look like: \frac{75}{30}
Seventh, simplify. / Your problem should look like: \frac{5}{2}
Eighth, convert to mixed fraction. / Your problem should look like: 2\frac{1}{2}

Answer: 2 \frac{1}{2}

you have a work meeting that starts at 1:15 pm. you arrived at 12:53 pm. how many minutes early were you?
Inessa05 [86]
I totally forgot that I am having meeting at my work place. All of sudden, I remembered that meeting through a hint given by my colleague while having discussion about our project work. I have to present a topic which I didn't prepare yet. Meeting is at 1.15pm. OMG! It's already 12.30 pm. Within few minutes I went to the meeting place with my topic. When I entered the meeting hall, the time was 12.53pm. I was happy to know that I arrived 22 minutes earlier.
