d = 2 3/4
t = 1 hour 15 minutes
r = ????
Calculations
==========
You need to convert the 15 minutes to hours.
1 hour = 60 minutes
x hour = 15 minutes
1/60 = x/15
x = 15/60
x = 0.25 hours
so the time = 1 hours + 0.25 hours
t = 1.25 hours
Now you need to do something with the distance.
3/4 mile = 0.75 of a mile
So the distance = 2 + 0.75 = 2.75 miles
Now you are ready for the answer.
d = r * t you are looking for r
2.75 = r * 1.25
r = 2.75/1.25
r = 2.2 miles / hour
Note you could do this with fractions.
2 3/4 = 11/4
1 1/4 = 5/4
r = 11/4 // 5/4 =11/5 = 2 1/5 which is the same thing as 2.2. If your calculator can handle fractions (those kind of calculators cost about 10 dollars in Canada. It should be 8 in the US) that might be the way to do this problem.
It's 1/3 which can = 0.3333...
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving for x:
-3x + 8 ≥ 14
-3x ≥ 6
x ≤ -2
Notice the sign gets reversed when you divide or multiply by a negative number.
The only option less than -2 is -3, A.
Here's a tip: on multiple choice questions, sometimes it's faster to try each answer instead of solving the equation. This can save time on tests like the SAT or ACT.
Let's try it:
-3(-3) + 8 = 9 + 8 = 17
-3(-1) + 8 = 3 + 8 = 11
-3(0) + 8 = 0 + 8 = 8
-3(3) + 8 = -9 + 8 = -1
So you can see the answer is A.
Answer:
1728/ 125
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of corresponding lengths of the figures = ratio of the square root of their areas.
So ratio of lengths = 12/5.
Now volume is 3 dimensional so the ratio is the cube of the lengths
= 12^3/5^3
= 1728/ 125.
