Answer:
6 runners
Step-by-step explanation:
Each runner ran 7.5 km. If there were n runners, then (7.5 km)n = 45 km.
Solve this for n by dividing 7.5 km into 45 km:
n = 6
There were 6 runners.
Answer:
5/16 of a yard per pillow
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Divide 5/8 by 2 (or 2/1)
2. 5/8 * 1/2 (following the division of fraction models of 'keep, change, flip'
5*1 = 5 and 8 * 2 = 16 5/16
Answer: Mike's arm span is 7.165 cm longer than the George's one.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that the association between height and arm span is modeled by the equation
y = 4.5 + 0.977*x
where y is height and x is arm span.
Mike is 172 cm tall, so his arm span is:
172cm = 4.5 + 0.977*x
x = (172 - 4.5)/0.977 = 171.443 cm
and George is 165 cm tall, so his arm span is:
x = (165 - 4.5)/0.977 = 164.278 cm
Then the difference between their arm span is:
171.443cm - 164.278cm = 7.165 cm
So Mike's arm span is 7.165 cm longer than the George's one.
