Using proportions, it is found that it will take them 0.00248548 minutes to do one loop.
<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.
In this problem, according to their speed, in 60 minutes, they drive 300 miles. In how many minutes will they drive 20 m = 0,0124274 miles?
The <em>rule of three</em> is:
60 min - 300 miles
x min - 0.0124274 miles
Applying cross multiplication:
It will take them 0.00248548 minutes to do one loop.

Answer:
Cost of Blanket = 32
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the cost of a blanket be = b , cost of a scarf be = s. Blanket price x Blanket Quantity & Scarf Price x Scarf Quantity sum up to be total sales.
So, Day 1 : 2b + 5s = 104 (i) , Day 2 : 3b + 4s = 128 (ii)
Solving equations : Multiplying (i) by 3 , & (ii) by 2 , we get
6b + 15s = 312 ,
(-)6b + (-)8s = (-)256
By elimination method, 15s - 8s = 312 - 256 → 7s = 56 → s = 56 / 7 = 8 .
Putting s value in any equation i], 2b + 5 (8) = 104 → 2b + 40 = 104 → 2b = 104 - 40 = 64 → b = 64 / 2 = 32
Answer:
25 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
30 km/hr = (30 km/1 hr)*(1000 m/1 km)*(1 hr/60 min)*(1 min/60 sec)
30 km/hr = (30*1000*1*1)/(1*1*60*60) meters per second
30 km/hr = 8.3333333333 m/s (approximate)
----------
The speed or rate is r = 8.3333333333 meters per second approximately, and the time is t = 3 seconds, so,
distance = rate*time
d = r*t
d = 8.3333333333 * 3
d = 24.9999999999
Due to rounding error, the true answer should be d = 25. We can see this if we opted to use the fraction from of 8.3333... instead of the decimal representation which isn't a perfect exact measurement.
A librarian has 150 books to be placed on shelves with an equal number of books on each shelf. If k is the number of shelves to be used, then 150/k is the number of books on each shelf.
Example : lets say there are 10 shelves.....so k = 10
150/10 = 15 books on each shelf.
