<span>As we know that in an hour there are 3600 seconds so
1.8 x 3600 = 6480
 6480 / 1609 = 4.02 miles / hr
   4.02 - 2.5 = 1.5( by substracting the speed)
so correct option is D which is

Answer: Option 'D' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Rate at which Alina swim = 2.5 miles per hour

Rate at which Talia swim = 1.8 meters per second

First we need to change meters per second into miles per hour

As we have given that

1\text{ miles}=1609\text{ meters}

and

1\text{ hour}=3600\text{ seconds}

So, to change into miles per hours, we'll apply this,

\frac{1.8\times 3600}{1609}\\\\=4.02\text{ miles per hour}

So,

Difference between their rates will be given by

4.02-2.5=1.52\text{ miles per hour}

Hence, Talia swims about 1.5 miles per hour faster than Alina.

So, Option 'D' is correct.

The area of the base of a rectangular prisim four and three fourths and the height of two and one third what is the volume
VikaD [51]
Data:
A_{base} = 4 \frac{3}{4} = \frac{4*4+3}{4} = \frac{16+3}{4} \to A_{base} = \frac{19}{4}

h (height) = 2 \frac{1}{3} =  \frac{3*2+1}{3} = \frac{6+1}{3} \to h (height) = \frac{7}{3}
v (volume) = ?

Formula: V =  A_{b}*h

Solving:
V = A_{b}*h
V =  \frac{19}{4} * \frac{7}{3}
V =  \frac{133}{12}
V = 11.08333....
\boxed{\boxed{V \approx 11.08}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark

Four dice, each numbered in the usual way from 1 to 6, are colored white, red, green and blue respectively. After casting them a
Delvig [45]
Suppose that the numbers that the boy being cast from the dice are 3 4 5 6.
 3 stands for white, 4 stands for red, 5 stands for green and 6 stands for blue.
  We need to interpret the statement given above.   The set of numbers is 3 4 4 6 6 5.
First, we need to get the mean of this set. Add all the numbers and divide by the total number that the set has. 
 3+4+4+6+6+5=  28 / 6
                        = 4.67    The mean is 4.67
For the variance, we will use the mean above ( 4.67 )

1. Squared the mean and subtract how many numbers are present in the set. 
   4.67x4.67= 21.8089 /6 = 3.64 set aside this result
2. Next squared all the numbers present in the set and add the result 

  3x3= 9 , 4x4= 16, 4x4=16, 6x6=36, 6x6=36, 5x5=25

9+16+16+36+36+25= 138 

3. Subtract the result of #2 with #1
          138 - 3.64=  134.36 set this aside

4. Subtract 1 from the total numbers you have in your set

 6 - 1= 5 

5. Divide the result we have in #3 with the result of #4

  134.36 / 5= 26. 872

So the variance is 26.872
