<span> <span>Speed is calculated as distance covered, divided by the time taken to cover that distance. In this case, the sales person covered 50KM in 45minutes (which can also be expressed as 3/4 hours). To calculate the speed he used to cover this distance, we divide the distance covered by the time taken. So 50km/3/4hours. This gives us 66.67km/hr. In order to calculate the amount of time the salesperson used to travel from the office to the sales person, we calculate as follows 250km/66.67km/hr. This gives us a total of 3.75 hours or 3 hours 45 minutes.</span></span>

There are 22 events at an indoor track and field meet. The ratio of track events to field events is 8:3. How many of the events
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
First, let's look at the ratio.
You also know that for every 8 indoor events, there is 3 field events.
Therefore, the amount of indoor events is 8 on 11 events total, as 8 + 3 = 11
 

Then, let's look at the actual number of events. If there is 22 events total, you need to solve this proportion :

\frac{8}{11} =  \frac{?}{22}

A rancher plans to make four identical and adjacent rectangular pens against a​ barn, each with an area of 400 msquared. What ar
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

base = 10\sqrt{5}m=22.36m and height = 8\sqrt{5}m = 17.89m

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must first understand how the pens are going to be placed. Refer to the attached diagram for an image of this.

From this diagram, we can start building the equations we are going to use to solve this. Since the problem doesn't specify the length of the barn, we will have no restriction on this. Taking this into account, we can start by building an equation for the area of each pen.

The area of a rectangle is given by the equation:

A=bh

where b is the base of the rectangle and h is the height of the rectangle.

with the given information we can now build our first equation:

400=bh

Since we have an equation with two variables, or two unknowns, we must have a second equation we can use to find the b and h values we need. In order to get this second equation, we must take into account that we need to minimize the amount of fencing to be used, so we can build an equation that will represent this fencing. When looking at the diagram, we can see that the fencing will be used to cover 4 bases and 5 heights, so our fencing equation should look like this:

F=4b+5h

Where F represents the amount of fencing to be used.

So now we can solve the first equation to substitute it into the second. Let's solve for the base b.

bh=400\\\\b=\frac{400}{h}

Which can now be substituted into the second equation so we get:

F=4(\frac{400}{h})+5h

which simplifies to

F=\frac{1600}{h} +5h

Now, this is the equation we need to minimize. In order to do so, we need to take the derivative of that and set it equal to zero, so we get:

F=\frac{1600}{h}+5h\\ \\F=1600h^{-1}+5h\\ \\F'=-1600h^{-2}+5\\ \\F'=-\frac{1600}{h^{2}}+5

And now we can set all this equal to zero, so we get:

-\frac{1600}{h^{2}}+5=0

Which can now be solved for h, so we get:

-\frac{1600}{h^{2}}+5=0\\ \\-\frac{1600}{h^{2} }=-5\\ \\1600=5h^{2}\\ \\h^{2}=\frac{1600}{5}\\  \\h^{2}=320\\ \\h=\sqrt{320}=8\sqrt{5}m=17.89m

That's where the first answer came from. We can now use this value to find the second answer together with the first equation:

b=\frac{400}{h}\\ \\b=\frac{400}{8\sqrt{5}}\\ \\b=\frac{50}{\sqrt{5}}

which simplifies to:

h=\frac{50}{\sqrt{5}}*\frac{\sqrt{5} }{\sqrt{5} }\\  \\h=\frac{50\sqrt{5} }{5}\\ \\h=10\sqrt{5}m = 22.36m

Aproximately and that's where te second answer came from.

So each  pen must measure:

22.36 m by 17.89 m

When multiplied you'll see that each pen will have an area of 400m^{2}

Mila [183]

Answer:

48

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we will show you how to calculate 8 divided by 1/6. We will give you the answer in fraction form and in decimal form.

Here is 8 divided by 1/6 displayed mathematically in colors:

8

 ÷    

1

6

The numbers in 8 divided by 1/6 are labeled below:

8 = whole number

1 = numerator

6 = denominator

To make it a fraction form answer, you multiply the whole number by the denominator and make the result the new numerator. The old numerator becomes the new denominator:

8 x 6

1

 =  

48

1

Thus, the answer to 8 divided by 1/6 in fraction form is:

48

1

To make the answer to 8 divided by 1/6 in decimal form, you simply divide the numerator by the denominator from the fraction answer above:

48 / 1 = 48

The answer is rounded to the nearest two decimal points if necessary.

48/1 is an improper fraction and should be written as 48.
