When flying from Florida to the Philippines island why does the shortest route pass through Alaska?

Because the earth is round, the distance seen on a flat map is a lot further than the distance on a globe, because of distortion. So following the circle that goes through these 3 points ( Florida, Alaska and the Philippines) it is a shorter distance to fly over Alaska.

Liz runs 8 feet per second. Katie runs 350 feet in 31 seconds. Katie runs 350 feet in 31 seconds. Stephanie runs 1 mile in 388 s
VikaD [51]

Answer: Stephanie is the fastest

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have to find who runs faster:

Liz:

8 ft/s

Katie:

\frac{350 ft}{31 s}=11.29 ft/s

Stephanie:

\frac{1 mile}{388 s}. \frac{5280 ft}{1 mile}=\frac{5280 ft}{388 s}=13.60 ft/s

Noah:

\frac{541 ft}{1 min}. \frac{1 min}{60 s}=9.01 ft/s

As we can see after comparing, Stephanie is the fastest, since she travels more distance in less time.

adell [148]

Answer:

m> $69.46

Step-by-step explanation:

The math club raised 12%, and we know that 12% as a decimal is 0.12 (12/100=0.12).

We must find 12% of 552.50.

0.12 x 552.5=66.3

66.3 was raised.

552.5-66.3= 486.2

There are 7 members, so divide by 7.

486.2 / 7= 69.457 → 69.46

∴Each member must raised at least $69.46
