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

deff fn [24]

Answer:

The sign would be 784 ft. long.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sign would be painted across the total perimeter of the building.

- the distance across the front of the store is 294 feet

- the distance from the front to the back is one third of this distance = (1/3) × 294 = 98 ft.

The perimeter of a rectangular = 2(L + B)

L = length of the building = 294 ft.

B = Breadth of the building = 98 ft.

Perimeter of the chocolate factory that the Sign would be painted across = 2(294 + 98) = 784 ft.

Hope this Helps!!!
