Answer:

32 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the patrolman's rate in miles per hour during the shift. Since we want to find miles per hour, we must divide the miles he drove by the number of hours.

rate = miles / hours

He drove 272 miles.

rate = 272 miles / hours

He drove for 8 hours and 30 minutes. There are 60 minutes in 1 hour. One half of 60 is 30. Therefore, we can also say he drove eight and a half, or 8.5 hours.

rate= 272 miles / 8.5 hours

rate = 32 miles / hour

rate= 32 mph

His average rate during the shift was 32 miles per hour.

Please help. The topic is angles. Anything you know helps

Lorico [155]

Answer:

all of them except straight and reflex

Step-by-step explanation:

when angles are supplementary it means that they add up to 180

an acute angle is supplementary to an obtuse angle

an obtuse angle is supplementary to an acute angle

a right angle is supplementary to a right angle

but a reflex angle is over 180 so it's not supplementary to anything

and a straight angle is already 180 so it has no supplements either

Charlie knows that 3 blocks are needed to make a tower that is 0.5 foot high.

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

24 blocks will be needed to make the tower that is 4 feet high

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us use the ratio method to solve the question

∵ Charlie knows that 3 blocks are needed to make a tower that is

0.5 foot high

∵ He needs to make a tower that is 4 feet high

→ By using the ratio method

→ Blocks : height (ft)

→ 3 : 0.5

→ x : 4

→ By using the cross multiplication

∵ x × 0.5 = 3 × 4

∴ 0.5x = 12

→ Divide both sides by 0.5 to find x

∵ $\frac{0.5x}{0.5}$ = $\frac{12}{0.5}$

∴ x = 24

∵ x represents the number of blocks

∴ 24 blocks will be needed to make the tower that is 4 feet high

Let

x-----> the number of pounds of tomatoes Camilla bought

we know that

The equation that represent this situation is equal to

$1.15x=10-4.48$

Solve for x

$1.15x=5.52$

$x=5.52/1.15$

$x=4.8\ pounds$
