Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert 6 hours to minutes so that 6 hours and 16. 3 minutes can be in the same units.

Since 1 hour = 60 minutes, then 6 hours = 6 x 60 minutes = 360 minutes

Since the insect has more minutes to crawl (360 minutes), then we expect more inches to be covered. Therefore, the ratio is 360 minutes to 16.3 minutes

= 360 minutes : 16.3 minutes

= 360 : 16.3

Now express the ratio as fraction and relate it with 30 inches

= 360/16.3 x 30/1

= 10800/16.3

= 662 .576687 and this is approximately 650 inches

Answer = 650 = (C)

Find the distance between the points (-10,-7) and (2,9).

soldier1979 [14.2K]

20 (units)

Distance formula is:

Sqrt of (x-x1)^2+(y-y1)^2

So define which coordinate is (x,y) and what (x1,y1)

I’m going to define (-10,-7) as (x,y) and (2,9) as (x1,y1)

So plug in your variables!

Sqrt(-10-2)^2+(-7-9)^2

Sqrt-12^2+-16^2

Sqrt144+256

Sqrt400

So sqrt of 400 is 20! :))
