Answer:

Cornor should divide the total length of the road on which there is traffic by the length of each of the cars

Step-by-step explanation:

The best calculation he can use is to divide the total length of the road on which we have the traffic by the length of each of the cars

Mathematically, the best way to go about this is to convert the miles to feet then divide by the length of each of the cars

Mathematically 1 mile = 5280 feet

so 5.5 miles will be = 5280 * 5.5 = 29,040 feet

It is this length we shall now divide by 12.5 ft

And that is 29,040/12.5 = 2,323.2

Which is approximately 2,323 cars

Steve puts an 18-foot ladder against his house. The ladder reaches a height of 15 feet on the house. How far is the bottom of th

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

$3 \sqrt{11}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given the hypotenuse which is 18 since it slanted, and leans on the house. And we are given one of the legs which is 15 since it is vertical. We can use the pythagorean theorem to solve for this problem.

${a}^{2} + {b}^{2} = c {}^{2}$

where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse l.

Let plug it in

${a}^{2} + 15 {}^{2} = {18}^{2}$

${a }^{2} + 225 = 324$

${a}^{2} = 99$

$a = \sqrt{99}$

$a = \sqrt{9 \times 11}$

$a = 3 \sqrt{11}$

1/5 x 2 1/5 will be 2 1/5.

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:less than

Step-by-step explanation:

1/5 x 2 1/5 = 11/25

2 1/5 as a mixed number is 11/5

so 11/25 is less than 11/5 therefore

1/5 x 2 1/5 < 2 1/5
