Given:
1 mile = 5280 feet
1 meter = 3.3 feet

convert 60 miles per hour to meters per second

60 miles to meters

60 miles x <u>5280ft</u> x <u>1meter</u> = (60*5280m)/3.3 = 316800m/3.3
                  1 mile    3.3ft
= 96,000 meters

1 hour to seconds

1 hour x <u>60 minutes</u> x <u>60 seconds</u> =   1 * 60 * 60sec = 3600 seconds 
                1 hour            1 minute

unit rate: meters per second

96000 meters ÷ 3600 seconds = 26 2400/3600 
simplify 26 2400/3600 ⇒ 26 2/3 meters per second

2400 ÷ 1200 = 2
3600 ÷ 1200 = 3

Find the equation of the line that contains the point (4, - 2) and is perpendicular to the line y = - 2x + 5. ​
Licemer1 [7]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

y=1/2x

<h3>Solution:</h3>
  • The slopes of perpendicular lines are opposite reciprocals of each other.
  • The simplest way to determine a number's reciprocal is to flip it over, like so:
  • -2 ~ - > -\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}
  • Now, change the sign:
  • \displaystyle\frac{1}{2}
  • So we have the <em>slope </em>of the line that's <em>perpendicular </em>to the given line.
  • Now, let's find the line's equation.
  • First, let's write it in Point-Slope Form:
  • y-y1=m(x-x1)
  • y-(-2)=1/2(x-4)
  • y+2=1/2x-2 (Point slope)
  • Now, convert to slope-intercept:
  • y=1/2x+2-2
  • y=1/2x

Hope it helps.

What value of r makes the equation true? r 0.12 = 0.20 A. r = 0.32 B. r = 0.08 C. r = –0.08 D. r = –0.32
muminat
Depends on your question...

If your question is r + 0.12 = 0.20 then do this:

Subtract 0.12 from both sides

r = 0.08

The answer is B.


If your question is r - 0.12 = 0.20 then do this:

Add 0.12 on both sides

r = 0.32

The answer is A

So it depends on your question :P

How to get 0.000006 from a scientific notion
Luden [163]

Answer:

6*10^-6

Step-by-step explanation:

You need a whole number for the scientific notion, right? To find that number above 1 and under 10, you can move the decimal point over until you get that number. Count the amount of spaces you moved the decimal point, and that's your number for scientific notation. To get the negative sign, you have to determine whether for scientific notation you make your number bigger or smaller. If you make it bigger, you have to put a negative sign on the exponent. If the number becomes smaller, it is a positive number. Hope this helps!
