Well, 60(sec.) divided by 4 = 15. 15x3= 45 seconds is Daniel's time.
60 divided by 12 = 5. 5x5 = 25 seconds is Jacob's time. Jacob finished faster. Hope this helps!

Jacob ran the race in the faster time

Further Explanation:

Daniel complete the hurdle at = 3/4 of a minute

Recall, 1 minute = 60 seconds

Therefore, Daniel complete the hurdle at 3/4 of 60 [secs]

= 3/4 x 60  

= 3 x 60 ÷ 4

= 180 ÷ 4

= 45 seconds

Jacob complete the hurdle with a remainder = 5/12 of a minute  

Recall, 1 minute = 60 seconds

Therefore, Jacob complete the hurdle with the remainder of 5/12 of 60 [secs]

= 5/12 x 60

= 5 x 60 ÷ 12

= 300 ÷ 12

= 25 seconds  

To find out how many minute Jacob used to complete the race:

60 seconds – 25 seconds=

= 35 seconds  

Since Daniel complete the race in 45 seconds, and Jacob complete the race in 35 seconds, in Athletics, the fastest of the two in completing the race is Jacob because, the time at which he complete the race is not greater than the time at which Daniel complete the race. And as such, the fastest of the two (Jacob) whose time is lesser is adjudged the winner of the race.

Deriving the difference in their times as a fraction of a minute:

The difference in their times is expressed as:

Daniel’s time [45 seconds] – Jacob’s time [35 seconds]

Therefore,

= 45 – 35

= 10 seconds  

Expressing the difference as a fraction of a minute:

Since 1 minute = 60 seconds

Hence, the fraction would be:

10/60

= 1/6

The given answers were derived as a result of the usage of Multiplication, Division and Subtraction, being functions of a number problem in mathematics.

Round 835.411 to the nearest tenth.
kondor19780726 [428]

The tenth position is the one that goes after the decimal point.

To round a number, you have to take into account the following:

1. If the number that goes after the position we are going to round to is greater than 5, we round to the next number in that position.

2. If the number that goes after the position we are going to round to is less than 5, we round to the same number in that position.

In this case, the number that is on the tenth's position is 4. The number that is after this position is 1, which is less than 5, then we round the number in this positon to 4.

The rounded number would be:

835.4

The product (x) of two numbers is 24 and their sum (+) is 10. What is the value of the largest of the two numbers?
RideAnS [48]

let the two numbers be x and y

From the first sentence,

xy=24

x+y=10

Then make y in equation 2 the subject of the formular and substitute in equation 1

x+y=10

y=10-x

substituting in equation 2

x(10-x)=24

open the bracket

10x-x^2=24

=-x^2+10x=24

Transfer the constant to the left hand side

=-x^2+10x-24=0

Then factorise completely

For online courses, like those in eCore, there is a positive correlation between the amount of time spent in the course and the
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

Regression Line is given by,

y = 22.909 + 0.209 x

The course grade of a student in the course who spent an average of 103 minutes in the course each week is: 22.909 + 0.209 × 103 = 44.436

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of Regression equation is of the form of:

y = a + bx

where, a is intercept and b is slope

The formula for a and b is given by,

a=\frac{\sum Y \sum X^2-\sum X \sum XY}{n\sum X^2-(\sum X)^2}\\ and, b = \frac{n\sum XY -\sum X \sum Y}{n\sum X^2-(\sum X)^2}

Here, ∑X = 1149.8, ∑Y = 377.2, ∑XY = 93115.95, ∑X² = 320246.72

Thus, a = 22.909

and b = 0.209

Thus, Regression Line is given by,

y = 22.909 + 0.209 x

Thus, The course grade of a student in the course who spent an average of 103 minutes in the course each week is: 22.909 + 0.209 × 103 = 44.436

Now plotting these line:
