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.

A 10-ft vertical post casts a 14-inch shadow at the same time a nearby cell phone tower cast a 119-ft shadow. How tall is the ce
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

The cellphone towers height is 1020 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is solved using proportions, by a rule of three.

A 10-ft post casts a 14-inch shadow.

Each feet has 12 inches, which means that a post with 10 feet will cast a 14/12 = 1.167 ft shadow. How tall is the cell-phone tower with a 119-feet shadow?

10 feet post - 1.167 ft shadow

x feet tower - 119 feet shadow

Applying cross multiplication:

1.167x = 10*119

x = \frac{1190}{1.167}

x = 1020

The cellphone towers height is 1020 ft.

Stealth Bank has deposits of $700 million. It holds reserves of $70 million and has purchased government bonds worth $215 millio
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

$75 million

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Reserve value = $70 million

Purchased government bond = 215 million

Market value of loan = $490 million

Net worth :

Assets - liability

Assets = (Market value of loan + purchased government bond + reserve value)

(490 million + 215 million + 70 million)

275 million + 70 million

= $775 million

Liability = Deposits = $700 million

Net worth = ($775 - $700) million

Net worth = $75 million
