Answer:

0.31hour

Step-byd-step explanation:

If a family drives at least 400mi/day, this means they drive at least 400mi/24hours since there are 24hours in a day.

Considering the expression;

If 400 miles = 1day which is also equivalent to 400 miles = 24hours

To get the amount of miles driven in an hour we have;

400miles = 24hours

x miles = 1hour

Cross multiplying we have;

400 × 1 = 24x

x = 400/24

x = 16.7miles

This means means they covered at least distance of 17 miles in an hour.

If their average speed is 55miles/hour.

The number of hours they need to drive per day can be calculated using the expression;

Speed = distance/time

Time = Distance in miles per hour/speed

Time = 17/55

Time = 0.31hour

Distance = 400 mi

Speed = 55 mi/h

time =  Distance / Speed = 400 / 55 ≈7.27   hours.

They need to travel at least 7.27 hours a day.

Hope this helps.

Since this is a equilateral triangle all angles are equal to each other. All angles in a triangle always add up to 180 degrees.

So you would set up your equation like so
3(7x - 3) = 180
The 3 outside the parenthesis resembles the 3 angles.
You equal the equation to 180 since all the angles in a triangle = 180
So distribute the 3
21x - 9 = 180
Add 9 to both sides
21x = 189
Divide 21 on both sides
x = 9

9/17 15/34 6/17 9/34 geometric sequence?
zysi [14]
In a geometric sequence each number after the first is found by multiplying the previous number by a fixed number called the common ratio.

In an arithmetic sequence, each term is equal to the previous term plus or minus a constant called the common difference.

In your problem we have a sequence of numbers that appears to be decreasing in value, but on the surface it doesn't appear to be by any constant number... but if you look closely, the denominator 34 is exactly twice the other denominator 17. This would lead me to look at a common denominator to see if anything takes shape...

9/17 = 18/34
15/34
6/17 = 12/34
9/34

Now we see that each number is the previous number minus 3/34, so we have a common difference of 3/34.

This would match the definition of an arithmetic sequence and NOT a geometric sequence.

A construction worker needs to put a rectangular window in the side of a building. He knows from measuring that the top and bott
Sliva [168]

Answer: 5 feet

Step-by-step explanation: A rectangle is a quadrilateral with 4 sides. The opposite sides are parallel and have the same length.

Top and bottom of the window are opposite, so they have the same measure of 3 feet.

One length of the window is 5 feet. Since the last side is opposite to the length of the window, it has the same length, i.e., its value is 5 feet.
