12.5 * .25=3 1/8 miles running part  
3.125 * .5=1 9/16 miles kayaking part
12.5+3.125+1.5625=17 3/16 miles total race

The cycling part was 12 1/2 miles long.

Hence the distance covered by cycling is 12.5 miles

The running part of the race was 1/4 the distance of the cycling part.

The running part is 0.25 of the cycling part.

So running part = 0.25 × 12.5 = 3.125 miles

The kayaking part of the race was 1/2 the distance of the running part.

So kayaking part is 0.5 of the running part.

So kayaking part = 0.5 × 3.125 = 1.5625 miles

Hence the total distance

= 12.5 + 3.125 + 1.5625

=17.1875 miles

The entire distance in miles of the race is 17.1875 miles

The cost of tuition at a college is $12,000 and is increasing at the rate of 6% each year. Use exponential function to find the
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

The cost of tuition fee after 4 years is $15,149.72.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential function:

A=P(1+r)^n

A= the amount after n years

P= Initial amount

r= rate of increasing

n= time in years

The cost of tuition at a college is $12,000. It is increasing at the rate of 6% each year.

Here, P= $12,000, r= 6%= 0.06, n= 4 years.

\therefore A=12,000(1+0.06)^4

\Rightarrow A= 12000(1.06)^4

        =$15,149.72

The cost of tuition fee after 4 years is $15,149.72.

Subtract:<br> 7' 5" – 2' 8" =
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

4'9"

Method 1:

First, convert both numbers into inches. Remember that 1' = 12", and the rest is like a remainder.

7'5" = (7*12)+5 = 84+5 = 89

2'8" = (2*12)+8 = 24+8 = 32

Next, subtract the two numbers.

89 - 32 = ?

89 - 32 = 57

There's your answer! You can change it back into feet by dividing it by 12.

57 / 12 = 4.75 = 4'9"

Method 2:

Another way of solving this problem is to borrow from the "feet" place.

7'5" - 2'8"

You can't take 8 away from 5, so you borrow from the "feet" place. Remember that unlike normal borrowing, you need to add 12 instead of adding 10.

6'17" - 2'8" = 4'9"

Whichever method you choose, you should get the same answer!

Find the length of side x in simplest radical form with a rational denominator.60°130°X
iren [92.7K]

We will solve using the law of sines as follows:

\frac{1}{\sin(30)}=\frac{X}{\sin (60)}

Now, we solve for X:

\Rightarrow X=\frac{\sin(60)}{\sin(30)}\Rightarrow X=\sqrt[]{3}

So, the length of X is sqrt(3).
