Answer:
927.3 feet per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
first determine how many seconds are in one hour
there are 60 seconds in one minute and 60 minutes in one hour
so there are 60x60, or 3600 seconds in one hour
now you can create a proportion of inches/seconds = inches/seconds
let 'x' = inches per hour
34/11 = x/3600
cross-multiply to get:
11x = 3600x34
11x = 122,400
x = 122,400/11
x = 11,127.3 inches per hour
to determine how many feet per hour you must divide 11,127.3 inches by 12
this equals 927.3 feet per hour
So, we know that a^2 + b^2 = c^2. Right? That is called the Pythagorean Theorem.
In this case. We can say that 39 is a, 40 is b, and x is c.
NOTE: It doesn't really matter whether 39 is a or b. a & b are just the two legs of the right triangle.
So, if we say that 39 is a, 40 is b, and x is c. We can plug it into the Pythagorean Theorem.
39^2 + 40^2 = x^2
I'll let you take it from there.
Answer:
boys = 705
girls = 783
Step-by-step explanation:
We are to find the number of boys and girls in the school
the answer can be determined using simultaneous equation
x = boys
y = girls
y - x = 78 equation 1
y + x = 1488 equation 2
subtract equation 1 from 2
2x = 1410
x = 1410/2 = 705
Substitute for x in equation 1
y - 705 = 78
y = 705 + 78 = 783
