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 bacteria culture begins with 15 bacteria which double in amount at the end of every hour. How many bacteria are grown during t
elixir [45]
We use P = i•e^rt for exponential population growth, where P = end population, i = initial population, r = rate, and t = time
P = 2•i = 2•15 = 30, so 30 = 15 [e^(r•1)],
or 30/15 = 2 = e^(r)
ln 2 = ln (e^r)
.693 = r•(ln e), ln e = 1, so r = .693
Now that we have our doubling rate of .693, we can use that r and our t as the 12th hour is t=11, because there are 11 more hours at the end of that first hour
So our initial population is again 15, and P = i•e^rt
P = 15•e^(.693×11) = 15•e^(7.624)
P = 15•2046.94 = 30,704

Find the area of the circle. Round your answer the nearest whole number, if necessary.
mina [271]

Answer:

The area of the circle is 314 in^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

10 inches is the radius.

The formula for the area of a circle is pi times radius squared.

So your equation would be: A=\pi (10)^2

10^2 = 100

Then you do \pi or 3.14 times 10 = 314.1592654 or just 314.

Hope I helped ya.
