On rainy days, Izzy goes from his house to the school by running 1.2 miles on West St, then makes a 90º turn and runs 0.5 miles

on North Ave.
a. If Izzy runs 7.5 miles per hour, approximately how much time will it take her to run to school on rainy days?

b. On dry days, Izzy runs on the dashed path through the woods. How far is she traveling?

c. If Izzy runs 7.5 miles per hour, how much time will she save by cutting through the woods?

Answer:

a) It will take Izzy 0.226 hours = 13.6 minutes = 13 minutes 36 seconds to run to school on dashed days.

b) Izzy runs 1.30 miles on dry days.

c) Izzy saves 3 minutes and 12 seconds cutting through the woods.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be solved by a simpe rule of three problem.

a) On rainy days, she runs 1.2 + 0.5 = 1.7 miles.

The problem states that for rainy days, she runs 7.5 miles per hour. We know that in a hour, Izzy will run 7.5 miles. We want to know how long it takes for her to run 1.7 miles. So

1 hour - 7.5 miles

x hours - 1.7 miles

7.5x = 1.7

x = \frac{1.7}{7.5}

x = 0.226 hours

It will take Izzy 0.226 hours = 13.6 minutes = 13 minutes 36 seconds to run to school on dashed days.

b) Now we have a right triangle, where the sides are the 1.2 miles and the 0.5miles, and the path through the woods x is the hypotenuse.

So, we apply the pythagorean theorem.

x^{2} = (1.2)^{2} + (0.5)^{2}

x^{2} = 1.44 + 0.25

x^{2} = 1.69

x = 1.30

So, Izzy runs 1.30 miles on dry days.

c) The first step for this question is knowing how long it takes for Izzy to run 1.30 miles at 7.50 miles a hour. So:

1 hour - 7.50 miles

x hours = 1.30 miles

7.50x = 1.30

x = \frac{1.3}{7.5}

x = 0.173 hours

So, it takes Izzy 0.173 hours = 10.4 minutes = 10 minutes 24 seconds to run through the woods.

13' 36''

-10' 24''

3' 12''

Izzy saves 3 minutes and 12 seconds cutting through the woods.

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

y=21.14

Step-by-step explanation:

x=6 because after 6 weeks

y= 3.27(6)+ 1.52

y=19.62 + 1.52

y=21.14

Help please my moms going to kill me if I don’t get this right
iragen [17]

Answer:

x=-\frac{41}{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

Pay attention to the two tick marks. This indicates that those sides are congruent to each other and so will the angles on the bottom and top. Therefore, we can set up the equation 137+2(-3x+1)=180 and solve for x:

137+2(-3x+1)=180

137+(-6x+2)=180

137-6x+2=180

139-6x=180

-6x=41

x=-\frac{41}{6}

If the mass of a material is 45 grams and the volume of the material is 11 cm^3, what would the density of the material be?
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

Density of material would be 4.09 g/cm^3

units is g/cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The mass of a material is 45 grams and the volume of the material is 11 cubic centimeter

Density is defined as mass per unit volume.

It is given by:

p= \frac{m}{V} where p is the density , m is the mass and V is the volume of the material respectively.

Here, Density is expressed in grams per centimeter cubed (g/cubic cm)

Here, m = 45 g , V = 11 cubic cm

We get;

p= \frac{45}{11} = 4.09 g/cm^3

therefore, density of a material would be, 4.09 g/cm^3

and its units is g/cm^3

If 3 = m^x, then we know 9 = (m^x)^2 because 9 is 3 squared.

(m^x)^2 can be simplified to m^{2x}

So now we know 9m^2 = m^{2x}·m^2

Since m^{2x} and m^2 have the same base, we can express it as a single term by adding the exponents together.

So the answer is C) m^{2x+2}
