(Please HELP) A falcon flies 800,000 meters in 4 hours. Use the formula d = rt, where d represents distance, r represents rate,

and t represents time, to answer the following questions. Show
your work.

Part A: Rearrange the distance formula, d = rt, to solve for rate.

Part B: Find the falcon's rate in meters per hour.

Part C: Find the falcon's rate in kilometers per hour.

Part D: Which unit, meters, or kilometers, makes more sense to use in this scenario, and why?

Answer:

A.\ r = \frac{d}{t}

B.\ r = 200,000m/h

C.\ r = 200\ km/h

D. Kilometres makes more sense

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

d = rt

d = 800,000 metres

t = 4 hours

Required

Answer Part A to D

A. Rearrange the formula;

Here, we simply divide both sides by t

d = rt

\frac{d}{t} = \frac{rt}{t}

\frac{d}{t} = r

Reorder

r = \frac{d}{t}

B. Solve for r in metres per hour

Here, d = 800,000 metres and t = 4 hours

r = \frac{d}{t} becomes

r = \frac{800,000m}{4h}

r = 200,000m/h

C. Solve for r in kilometre per hous

We start by converting d = 800,000 metres to kilometres

If 1 metre = 0.001 kilometre, then

800,000 metres = 800,000 * 0.01 kilometre

800,000 metres = 800 kilometre

So, d = 800\ kilometres and h = 4 hours

r = \frac{d}{t} becomes

r = \frac{800\ km}{4\ h}

r = 200\ km/h

D. Which unit makes more sense

As a standard, when calculating speed or velocity, metres is used viz a viz seconds while kilometres is used along with hours;

Since, the first unit (metres) is best used with seconds and the second unit (kilometre) is best used with hours, it's safe to conclude that kilometres makes more sense

(a) The explicit rule to model the sequence formed by the number of seats in each row is a_{n}=15+3n

(b) The 35th row has 120 seats

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule of the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is

a_{n}=a+(n-1)d , where

  • a is the the first term
  • d is the common difference between each two consecutive terms

∵ There are 18 seats in the 1st row

∵ There are 21 seats in the 2nd row

∵ 21 - 18 = 3

∵ The number of seats is increased by 3 with each additional row

- The number of seats in each row represents an arithmetic

   sequence because there is a common difference between

   each two consecutive rows

∴ The number of seats in each row formed an arithmetic sequence

∵ The number of seats in the first row = 18 seats

∴ a = 18

∵ The number of seats in a row continues to increase by 3 with each

   additional row

∴ d = 3

- Substitute the values of a and d in the rule of nth term

∴ a_{n}=18+(n-1)3

- Simplify the right hand side

∴ a_{n}=18+3n-3

- Add like terms

∴ a_{n}=15+3n

(a) The explicit rule to model the sequence formed by the number of seats in each row is a_{n}=15+3n

∵ There are 120 seat in a row

- Substitute a_{n} by 120 in the rule above

∴ 120 = 15 + 3n

- Subtract 15 from both sides

∴ 105 = 3n

- Divide both sides by 3

∴ n = 35

∴ The number of the row is 35

(b) The 35th row has 120 seats

2. Which fraction is in its simplest form?<br> 2/4<br> 2/8<br> 2/6<br> 2/5
wariber [46]

Answer:

2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

2 / 4 could be divided by two in both sides.

2 ÷ 2 = 1

4 ÷ 2 = 2

2/4 = 1/2

Same goes for 2/8 and 2/6

2 ÷ 2 = 1

8 ÷ 2 = 4

2/8 = 1/4

2 ÷ 2 = 1

6 ÷ 2 = 3

2/6 = 1/3

2/5 however, could not be divided by two on both sides because there is 5 and it is not a factor of 2. So it is in its simplest form

Agata [3.3K]

Answer: 266

Step-by-step explanation: This is a ratio problem. If there are 14 chocolates with nuts out of every 32 chocolates, you can use this as a ratio and set it up as a proportion.

(1) 14 chocolates w/ nuts / 32 chocolates = n chocolates / 608 chocolates

(2) Solve for n: 8,512 = 32n; n = 266
