Answer:

Chucks spent 8 minutes running and 15 minutes swimming

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know the amount of time Chuck spends on individual activities.

since the total time spent for the burning is 23 minutes;

then ;

r + w = 23 ••••••••(i)

Now, the number of calories burnt to running for r minutes will be r * 35 = 35w calories

The number of calories burnt to swimming for w minutes will be w * 30 = 30w calories

The addition of both gives the total calories burnt;

Hence;

35r + 30w = 730 ••••••••(ii)

So we have two equations to solve simultaneously ;

From i; r = 23-w

Substitute this into ii

35(23-w) + 30w = 730

805 -35w + 30w = 730

35w -30w = 805-730

5w = 75

w = 75/5

w = 15 minutes

but r = 23 - w

r = 23 -15

r = 8 minutes

If y varies directly as x, and y is 12 when x is 1.2, what is the constant of variation for this relation?
laila [671]
If you multiply 12 by 0.1, you get 1.2.   To write this as a function you would say y is x multiplied by 0.1.
y=0.1x

A central angle θ in a circle of radius 5 m is subtended by an arc of length 6 m.
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

θ=1.2 rad=68.7549°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

  • Circle of radius 5
  • Arc of length 6 subtends angle of θ

\text{Arc Length}=\text{Radius}\times \text{Angle Subtented(in rad)}

⇒

6= 5\times \text{O}\\

θ=\frac{6}{5} =1.2rad

Therefore θ=1.2 rad

(π rad= 180°)

Therefore 1.2 rad= 68.7549°

Juanita ran 8.3 miles in Week 1 and 12.09 miles in Week 2. She used the subtraction below to determine how much farther she ran
AfilCa [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

12.09 - 8.30 = 3.79

The reason why her answer was wrong is because when the '2' gets slashed into a '1' during carry over, it would have been 11 - 8 = 3 instead of a 4. (the 1st column)

The error that Juanita made is that she made a computational error when subtracting.
