Day Drive 270 miles and 6 hours how many miles do you drive in 13 hours

NikAS [45]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>585 miles</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this question we use ratio and proportion

From the question

Day Drive 270 miles in 6 hours

So in order to find the distance drove in 13 hours, we compare the distance drove in 6 hours to the distance drove in 13 hours and solve

That's

if in 6 hours Day drove 270 miles

Then in 13 hours the person will drive

$\frac{13 \times 270}{6} = \frac{3510}{6}$

We have the final answer as

<h3>585 miles</h3>

What percent of 90 is 50

andre [41]

To re-phrase this: 50 is a certain percent of 90.

this can be written mathematically as 50=x%*90

let's divide both sides by 10:

5=x%*9

and divide both sides by 9:

$\frac{5}{9} =x%$

which in decimals is approximately 0.56 (but not exactly).

so 0.56=x%

and the x then 56

so 50 is approximately 56% of 90:

exactly 56%of 90 is 50.4

What is the equation of the line passing through the points (–25, 50) and (25, 50) in slope-intercept form?

allochka39001 [22]

The equation of the line passing through the points (-25, 50) and (25, 50) in slope-intercept form is <u>y = 50</u>. Hence, <u>4th option</u> is the right choice.

The slope-intercept form of a line is written as y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line, and b is the y-intercept.

The slope of a line passing through the points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) can be calculated using the formula, slope (m) = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁).

Therefore, slope of the line passing through the points (-25, 50) and (25, 50) can be calculated as m = (50 - 50)/(25 - (-25)) = 0/(-50) = 0.

We can find the equation of the line using the point-slope formula, according to which, a line having a slope m and passing through the point (x₁, y₁) can be written as y - y₁ = m(x - x₁).

Therefore, the equation of the given line can be written as:

y - 50 = 0(x - 25)

or, y - 50 = 0,

or, y = 50.

Therefore, the equation of the line passing through the points (-25, 50) and (25, 50) in slope-intercept form is <u>y = 50</u>. Hence, <u>4th option</u> is the right choice.

The current of a river is 4 miles per hour. A boat travels to a point 30 miles upstream and back in 4 hours. What is the speed o

Kobotan [32]

If it took 4 miles per hour you multiply that twice cuss its traveling back then forth so you repeat the same process 30 miles times 2 which is 60 hope this helps.
