Answer:
d(m) = (1.05 miles/min)*m
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide 2 5/8 miles by 3 1/2 minutes to obtain the unit rate (miles per minute):
2 5/8 miles
--------------------
3 1/2 minutes
First, convert 2 5/8 miles and 3 1/2 minutes to improper fractions:
21/8 miles 21/8 miles
------------------ = ---------------------- = 21/20 miles/minute
5/2 minutes 20/8 minutes
The constant rate is (21/20) miles/minute, or 1.05 miles/minute.
Thus, the equation representing the distance, d, that the car travels in m minutes is
d(m) = (1.05 miles/min)*m
Add all the numbers in the ratio together to get 18 then divide 180 by 18 to equal 10. then times that by each individual number in the ratio. so the answer is 40:50:90
See attached photo for answers. let me know if you are doing rounding to a specific decimal.
Answer: It will take 7 stages for all 19,530 families to be called.
In the first stage, only 5 families are called.
In the second stage, we would have 5 x 5 = 25 families being called.
In the third stage, we would have 5 x 5 x 5 = 125 families being called.
We can use exponents to finish the list and see when our goal is reached.
4th stage: 5^4 = 625
5th stage: 5^5 = 3125
6th stage: 5^6 = 15625
7th stage: 5^7 = 78,125
