1 yard = 3 feet

2 yards = 6 feet

2 feet * 3 = 6 feet

so 5.5 ft * 3 = 16.5 feet, so pole is 16 feet 6 inches

Vaimiti walks at a constant pace of 1.1 m/s and takes 25 minutes to get to school.

Temka [501]

Solution:

Note that:

Speed = Distance/Time
Vaimiti speed = 1.1 m/s
Jabril speed = 1.3 m/s

Converting the time (minutes to seconds) for Vaimiti to reach school:

Vaimiti's time to reach school: 25 minutes = 25 x 60 seconds
=> Vaimiti's time to reach school: 1500 seconds

Converting the time (minutes to seconds) for Jabril to reach school:

Jabril's time to reach school: 30 minutes = 30 x 60 seconds
=> Jabril's time to reach school: 1800 seconds

Finding the distance of Vaimiti:

Speed = Distance/Time

Important: The distance will be in meters since the speed units is meters/seconds.

=> 1.1 meters/second = Distance/1500
=> 1.1 x 1500 = Distance
=> 1650 meters = Distance (In meters)

Finding the distance of Jabril:

Speed = Distance/Time

Important: The distance will be in meters since the speed units is meters/seconds.

1.3 meters/second = Distance (In meters)/1800 seconds
=> 1.3 x 1800 = Distance (In meters)
=> 2340 meters = Distance (In meters)

This can lead to two possible solutions:

Possible solution #1:

Finding the difference between the two distances:

2340 meters - 1650 meters = Difference (In meters)
=> 690 meters

Possible solution #2:

The difference between the distances they walked is that Jabril walked faster than Vaimiti, but Vaimiti reached school earlier than Jabril because the walking distance for Vaimiti is less than the walking distance for Jabril.

Rozalie spent $26 at a parking garage in downtown Orlando. The garage charged a base free of $7.50 for the first hour and a hour

bagirrra123 [75]

ANSWER : Rozalie spent 6.73 hours at the garage

rate of change = $2.75
base fee = $7.50

set up your equation:
2.75h + 7.5 = 26
($2.75/hour plus the base fee of $7.50 equals the total amount spent, $26)

Now just solve for h

2.75h + 7.5 = 26
2.75h = 18.5
h = 6.727273 (rounded)
h = 6.73

So the answer would be Rozalie spent about 6.73 hours at the garage.
