Answer:

Niles and Bob were traveling for 6 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed or rate at which an object is moving can be computed using the formula:

s=\frac{d}{t}

Here:

<em>s</em> = speed

<em>d</em> = distance traveled

<em>t</em> = time taken

It is provided that Niles and Bob sailed at the same time for the same length of time.

Speed of Niles sailboat is, <em>s</em>₁ = 6 mph.

Distance traveled by Niles' sailboat is, <em>d</em>₁ = 36 miles.

Speed of Bob's sailboat is, <em>s</em>₂ = 16 mph.

Distance traveled by Bob's sailboat is, <em>d</em>₂ = 96 miles.

It took both Niles and Bob the same time to travel the respective distance.

Compute the time it took Niles to travel 36 miles at 6 mph speed as follows:

t_{1}=\frac{d_{1}}{s_{1}}

   =\frac{36}{6}\\=6

It took Niles 6 hours to travel 36 miles at 6 mph speed.

Compute the time it took Bob to travel 96 miles at 16 mph speed as follows:

t_{2}=\frac{d_{2}}{s_{2}}

   =\frac{96}{16}\\=6

It took Bob 6 hours to travel 96 miles at 16 mph speed.

Thus, Niles and Bob were traveling for 6 hours.

Yes because if you simplify 24 and 4 weeks(28 days) by 2 than you would get 12 and 2 weeks(14 days)

Answer:

It is not a good model because neither point lies on the line.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can test each point on the equation of the line.

7x - 10y = 3

Point: (8, 5)

7(8) - 10(5) = 56 - 50 = 6

The left side equals 6, not 3, so point (8, 5) is not on that line.

Point: (-12, -9)

7(-12) - 10(-9) = -84 + 90 = 6

The left side equals 6 again, but the right side is 3, not 6.

Answer: It is not a good model because neither point lies on the line.

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (-4,3) and is
zysi [14]

Answer:

The perpendicular line 4x − 5y = 20 has a slope of 4/5 and as such, the slope of the required line = -5/4

(y - 3)/(x + 4) = -5/4 simplify to get the required equation: 5x + 4y + 8 = 0

What is 150,000,000 in scientific notion, PLEASE answer asap im so far behind!!
dybincka [34]

To write a number in scientific notation, you need to write the number as a product of a number from 1 to under 10 multiplied by a integer power of 10.

First, what number from 1 to under 10 can you get out of the digits of 150,000,000 just by changing the decimal point? The answer is 1.5 since 1.5 is greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10.

150,000,000 = 1.5 * 100,000,000

Now we change 100,000,000 into a power of 10. A 1 followed by a number of zeros is the same as 10 to the power equal to the number of zeros. In 100,000,000 the 1 is followed by 8 zeros, so 100,000,000 = 10^8.

150,000,000 = 1.5 * 10^8
