The DeJeu family plan to drive to Marietta, GA to Newark, NJ. The distance is about 880 miles and the majority of their trip wil

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

$10:02:24\ \text{pm}$

Step-by-step explanation:

d = Distance to travel = 880 miles

s = Average speed of the car = 65 mph

Time taken to cover the distance is

$t=\dfrac{d}{s}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{880}{65}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{176}{13}\ \text{h}=13.54\ \text{hours}$

Time the car stopped

$3\times 10+60=90\ \text{minutes}=1.5\ \text{hours}$

Total time of the journey

$13.54+1.5=15.04\ \text{hours}$

Converting $0.04\ \text{hours}$ to minutes

$0.04\times 60=2.4$

So, the total time taken for the journey is $15\ \text{hours and }2\ \text{minutes and }24\text{seconds}$

Time when they reach their destination

$7:30+15:2.4\approx 10:02:24\ \text{pm}$

Why can't you compare 5 minutes in 240 seconds without making some kind of change

grin007 [14]

You have to have the same unit of measure. Here your units are "minutes" and "seconds". In order to compare the two, you must change to 240 seconds into minutes (dividing by 60 = 4 mins) OR change the 5 minutes into seconds (multiply by 60 to give you 300 seconds)

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is attached herewith.

Also the options for the same are as follows -

What is the meaning of the slope of the trend line shown on the scatterplot?

A A plant grows about 3 inches for every 2 hours of sunlight it receives.

B A plant grows about 2 inches for every 3 hours of sunlight it receives.

C A plant grows about 3 inches for every 1 hour of sunlight it receives.

D A plant grows about 1 inch for every 3 hours of sunlight it receives.

Solution

If we look at the graph, we can see that in 6 hours the tomato plant grew by 2 inches.

At the X axis, when x = 6 hours, the y co-ordinate at X = 6 hours is 2 inches.

Hence, It can be interpreted that 1 inch of the tomato plant grows in 3 hours.

Hence, option D is correct
