Why do you divide by 60 after calculating the area of the trapezoid (to calculate the distance)? I got 900 but I don’t know why

you divide by 60 to get 15 as your answer. Ignore the pen marks.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

What you are trying to do is a nice way to solve this problem. Without knowing any physics, you are using what math you know to get the answer. You are actually very close to being correct, and you are right. You do have to divide by 60.

Here's why and it is the one bit of physics you have to know.

The speed is km/hour. That word hour is the culprit. Your time is in minutes and you have to get it into hours. In physics, the units have to be consistent.

So ...

b1 = 19 minutes which is 19 min [1 hour / 60 minutes] = 19/60 = 0.31667 hour

b2 = 26 minutes which is 26 min [ 1 hour/60 minutes] =  26/60 = 0.4333 hour

h = 40 km/hour

Area = (0.31667 hour + 0.4333 hour)*40 km/hour /2

Area = 0.75 hour * 40 km/hr //2

Area = 15 km

Write a number sentence that compares 3/5 and 5/6
zavuch27 [327]
To compare 3/5 and 5/6th we need to convert them to a common denominator so if we multiply their denominators we get 5x6 = 30 but we must multlply the numerator by the same number so 3/5 = 18/30th and 5/6 = 25/30 so we see that 25/30 is greater than 18/30th or then 5/6 is greater than 3/5.

HELP URGENT PLEASE! The Lees have purchased a new home for $360,000, and put a down payment of $50,000 on it. They have a mortga
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

$191,340.80

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

We find the amount that is paid monthly by the Lee's

We are told in the question that:

Cost of the house =$360,000

Down payment = $50,000

We are also told, the balance left after the down payment was made = Mortgage that is amortized at an

Interest rate of 5.25%

Time = 20 years

Hence, Mortgage amount = $360,000 - $50,000 = $310,000

Formula for monthly payment =

M= P[r(1+r)^n/((1+r)^n)-1)]

M = the total monthly mortgage payment.

P = the principal loan amount.

r = your monthly interest rate.

= rate/12

=5.25%/12 = 0.0525/12

= 0.004375

n = number of payments

= number of years × number of months

= 20 × 12 = 240 payments

Formula for monthly payment =

M= P[r(1+r)^n/((1+r)^n)-1)]

M = 310,000[0.004375(1 + 0.004375)^240/((1 + 0.004375)^240 ) - 1]

M = $2,088.92

Therefore, the monthly payment by the Lee's is $2,088.92

Step 2

We calculate the Total Amount paid by the Lee's in 20years because we are told in the question that they paid off their mortgage after 20 years

Total Amount paid = Monthly payments × Number of payments

= $2,088.92 × 240

= $501,340.80

Step 3

The third and final step is to calculate the Total interest paid for 20 years

Total Interest = Total amount paid - Mortgage amount

= $501,340.80 - $310,000

Total Interest: $191,340.80

Therefore,the interest will they have paid in total is $191,340.80

Simplify the given expression below: (7-3i)•(2-i)
Dimas [21]

when multiplying two binomials together we use the F.O.I.L. method:

First

Outer

Inner

Last

(7-3i)(2-i)

First: 7 * 2 ..... Outter: 7 * -i .... Inner: -3i * 2 ...... Last: -3i * -i

First: 14 ...... Outter= -7i ..... Inner: -6i .... Last: 3i^2

putting this together we get 14-7i-6i+2i^2

We combine like terms and end up with 2i^2-13i+14
