So in 1 hour, the parachutist will fall 12 miles or
12 mi/1hour

convert
1 hour=60 mins
1 min=60 seconds
1 hour=60 times 60 seconds=360 seconds
12 miles per 360 seconds


convert miles to feet
5280 feet per mile
12 miles times 5280=63360 feet

63360/360
do the math and simplify
63360/360=6336/36=176

176 feet per second

C=2m+d solve for m plz
Pavel [41]
Isolate the m, go backwards for PEMDAS.

C = 2m + d
C (-d) = 2m + d (-d)
C - d = 2m
(C - d)/2 = 2m/2
m = (C - d)/2

m = (C - d)/2 is your answer

hope this helps

Answer:

2/5 hour is closest to 0 1/2 hours, 5/8 hour is closest to 1/2 hour. Therefore, the best estimate for the total time Maria spent with her sister is close to 1 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

We can represent the time Maria spends playing the game as 0.4, since 2/5 as a fraction is 0.4. This is closer to 1/2, which is 0.5 then it is to 0, because 4 is closer to 5 then 0. Then, we can represent the time Maria reads the book as 0.625, which is closer to 1/2 then it is to 1. Now we can add the estimated times. 1/2+1/2=1 hour
