A snail moves at the speed of 76 millimeters per minute. Nancy writes the following steps to calculate this speed in centimeters

/hour (cm/h).
[1 millimeter = 0.1 centimeter]

Step 1: Multiply 76 by 0.1.
Step 2: Multiply the result obtained in step 1 by 60.
Step 3: Multiply the result obtained in step 2 by 60.
Step 4: Write the answer with the unit cm/h.

Answer:

The step 3 is incorrect in the conversion, is not necessary

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

The speed is 76\frac{mm}{min}

we know that

1 mm=0.1 cm

1 min=1/60 h

so

76\frac{mm}{min}=76(0.1)/(1/60)=76(0.1)(60)=456\frac{cm}{h}

step 1

Multiply 76 by 0.1

76(0.1)=7.6

The step 1 is correct

step 2

Multiply the result obtained in step 1 by 60.

7.6(60)=456

The step 2 is correct

step 3

Multiply the result obtained in step 2 by 60

<u><em>This step is not correct</em></u>

therefore

The step 3 is incorrect in the conversion, is not necessary

juin [17]
First since the perimeter of this problem is P=2b x 2h I first multiplied 26 by 2 and got 52 inches. then I subtracted 52 from 180 and got 128. From there I divide 128 by 2 and I got 64 for the length

Jon, Leroy, and Simon are having a free-throw shooting contest. Each boy
Zolol [24]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

If you arrange a statistics in order from least to greatest, the middle number is the median.

If there is even number of numbers in a list, let it be n numbers, then we take the average of n/2th and n/2 + 1 th terms.

Here, all of them have 6 numbers, so 6/2 = 3  and 4th, we take average of 3rd and 4th number to find the median.

Since they are arrange in order we check each:

Jon = average of 6 and 7, (6+7)/2 = 6.5

Leroy = average of 6 and 8,  (6+8)/2 = 7

Simon = average of 5 and 6, (5+6)/2 = 5.5

Leroy's median is the greatest (7).

What is the value of K?
Ksju [112]
Answer: The value of k for which one root of the quadratic equation kx2 - 14x + 8 = 0 is six times the other is k = 3.
Let's look into the solution step by step.

Explanation:

Given: A quadratic equation, kx2 - 14x + 8 = 0

Let the two zeros of the equation be α and β.

According to the given question, if one of the roots is α the other root will be 6α.

Thus, β = 6α

Hence, the two zeros are α and 6α.

We know that for a given quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0

The sum of the zeros is expressed as,

α + β = - b / a

The product of the zeros is expressed as,

αβ = c / a

For the given quadratic equation kx2 - 14x + 8 = 0,

a = k, b = -14, c = 8

The sum of the zeros is:

α + 6α = 14 / k [Since the two zeros are α and 6α]

⇒ 7α = 14 / k

⇒ α = 2 / k --------------- (1)

The product of the zeros is:

⇒ α × 6α = 8 / k [Since the two zeros are α and 6α]

⇒ 6α 2 = 8 / k

⇒ 6 (2 / k)2 = 8 / k [From (1)]

⇒ 6 × (4 / k) = 8

⇒ k = 24 / 8

⇒ k = 3

What is the sum of 56+64 writen as the product of its gcf and another sum
jenyasd209 [6]
<span>Look for the sum of 56 and 64, written as the product of its GCF and another sum.
First, let’s find the greatest common factor of both given numbers:
=> 56 = 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 13, 28 and 56
=> 64 = 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64
Now, we need to find the greatest common factor between the two numbers. The GCF of the 2 numbers is 8.
=> 56 / 8 = 7
=> 64 / 8 = 8
=> 56 + 64 = 120
=> (8 x 7) + (8 x 8)
=> 56 + 64
=> 120.</span><span>
