The winner of a race ran the distance in 45s at an average speed of 9.6 m/s. The runner who came in last finished and 48 seconds

RSB [31]

Answer:

The answer to your question is speed = 9 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Winner Last runner

time = 45 s time = 48 s

speed = 9.6 m/s

Process

1) Calculate the distance they ran using the data of the winner

speed = distance / time

-Solve for distance

distance = speed x time

-Substitution

distance = (9.6)(45)

-Result

distance = 432 m

2.- Calculate the speed of the last runner

-Substitution

speed = 432/48

-Result

speed = 9 m/s

Diana works at a clothing store. She sold 1/3 of the total shirts on Tuesday and 5/12of the total number of blue shirts on Wedne

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

The fraction of blue shirts that she sold is $\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

She sold:

1/3 on Tuesday.

5/12 on Wednesday.

What fraction of blue shirts did she sell on Tuesday and Wednesday?

Sum of fractions.

The lesser common multiplier between 3 and 12, which is 12.

$\frac{1}{3} + \frac{5}{12} = \frac{\frac{12*1}{3} + \frac{12*5}{12}}{12} = \frac{4 + 5}{12} = \frac{9}{12} = \frac{3}{4}$

The fraction of blue shirts that she sold is $\frac{3}{4}$

ABCD is a rectangle. The measure of angle BCE is 4x-23 and the angle measure of angle DCE is 5+5x. Find the measure of angle BEC

Temka [501]

<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2></h2>

The diagram for this problem is shown below. Point E is the intersection of the two diagonals and we know that:

$\angle BCE=\beta \\ \\ \angle DCE=\theta$

Every internal angle of any rectangle measures 90 degrees, so:

$\beta +\alpha=90 \\ \\ (4x-23)+(5+5x)=90 \\ \\ \\ Isolating \ x: \\ \\ (4x+5x)+(5-23)=90 \\ \\ 9x-18=90 \\ \\ 9x=108 \\ \\ x=\frac{108}{9}=12$

So:

$\beta=4x-23=4(12)-23=25^{\circ}$

So the measure of angle BEC can be found as follows:

We know that triangle ΔCEB is an isosceles triangle because the diagonals of any rectangle measure the same. So

$\angle EBC=\beta$

The sum of internal angles of any triangle add up to 180 degrees, so:

$\beta + \beta+\angle BEC=180^{\circ} \\ \\ 2\beta+\angle BEC=180^{\circ} \\ \\ \angle BEC=180^{\circ}-2\beta \\ \\ \angle BEC=180^{\circ}-2(25^{\circ}) \\ \\ \angle BEC=180^{\circ}-50^{\circ} \\ \\ \boxed{\angle BEC=130^{\circ}}}$
