Answer:

B) 20.6 mi/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we need to first convert 40 meters to mile, then convert 4.35 seconds to hour, then solve by proportion.

converting 40 meters to mile;

1 mile = 1609.344 meter

x       = 40 meters

1609.344x = 40

x = 40/1609.344

x =0.02485 mile

Then converting seconds to hour

1 hour = 3600 seconds

 y      = 4.35 seconds

3600 y = 4.35

y=4.35/3600

y =0.00121  hour

Using proportion to solve the question

Let n be the number he runs miles per hour

0.02485 mile = 0.00121  hour

  n                   = 1    hour

cross-multiply

0.00121  n =   0.02485

Divide both-side by 0.00121

0.00121  n/0.00121  =   0.02485/0.00121

n ≈ 20.6 mile/hour

Therefore, he is running 20.6 mi/hr

The base and height of the triangle to the right are multiplied by 4. Describe the change in the area.
Artemon [7]
Area would be 15 if base is 6m and height is 5m
So 6*4=24
5*4=20
Area would be 240 for the 2nd answer

240/15=16

The area is 16x bigger

How can you use fractions to place the decimal in the product?

Answer:

it is easier to multiply first and then to place the decimal point. Multiply the factors as if they were whole numbers. Disregard the decimal point until you place it in the product.
