You figure out how long it would take a car traveling at 25 mph
to cover 360 ft. Any driver who does it in less time is speeding.
(25 mi/hr) · (5,280 ft/mile) · (1 hr / 3,600 sec)
= (25 · 5280 / 3600) ft/sec = (36 and 2/3) feet per second.
To cover 360 ft at 25 mph, it would take
360 ft / (36 and 2/3 ft/sec) = 9.82 seconds .
Anybody who covers the 360 feet in less than 9.82 seconds
is moving faster than 25 mph.

If you're interested, here's how to do it in the other direction:
Let's say a car covers the 360 feet in ' S ' seconds.
What's the speed of the car ?
(360 ft / S sec) · (1 mile / 5280 feet) · (3600 sec/hour)
= (360 · 3600) / (S · 5280) mile/hour
= 245.5 / S miles per hour .
The teacher timed one car crossing both strips in 7.0 seconds.
How fast was that car traveling ?
245.5 / 7.0 = 35.1 miles per hour
Another teacher timed another car that took 9.82 seconds to cross
both strips. How fast was this car traveling ?
245.5 / 9.82 = 25 miles per hour
After every month's withdrawals, 4/5 of the original amount at the start of the month will remain. The amount at the start of every month will change. Thus:
an = 4/5 (an-1) ; where a1 = 500.
Answer:
5.93 × 10-5
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
-8=2x-y get this into y=mx+b form to find the y-intercept
-y=-2x-8
y=2x+8
the y-intercept is 8 so it passes through (0,8)
to find the x-intercept, set y to equal zero
0=2x+8
-8=2x
x=-4
the x-intercept is -4 so it passes through (-4,0)
the slope is 2 based on the slope-intercept form
