It will take 2 minutes because if a snail pace is 60 inches per minute means if you multiply 60 times 2 it will be 120 or you can add another 60 and it will give you 120

Ok, so here, we have the unit rate of the snail. Now, we need to set up a proportion.

60/1 = 120/x

Now, cross multiply.

60*x = 120*1

60x= 120

Now divide to solve for x.

60x/60 = 120/60
x = 120/60
x= 2

Now our final answer is 2.

Final answer:- The snail will take 2 minutes to crawl 120 feet

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

12.3 months

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the number of months (m) such that ...

1 - 17% = (1 -1.5%)^m

Taking logarithms:

log(0.83) = m·log(0.985)

m = log(0.83)/log(0.985) ≈ 12.3 . . . . months

What value of c makes x2 6x c a perfect square trinomial? c = If x2 6x c = (x d)2, then d =.

$\qquad \textit{perfect square trinomial} \\\\ (a\pm b)^2\implies a^2\pm \stackrel{\stackrel{\text{\small 2}\cdot \sqrt{\textit{\small a}^2}\cdot \sqrt{\textit{\small b}^2}}{\downarrow }}{2ab} + b^2 \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ x^2 \pm \stackrel{\stackrel{2\sqrt{x^2}\sqrt{c^2}}{\downarrow }}{6x} +c^2~\hspace{10em}6x=2\sqrt{x^2}\sqrt{c^2}\implies 6x=2xc \\\\\\ \cfrac{6x}{2x}=c\implies 3=c\implies 9=c^2~\hfill \boxed{(x\pm 3)^2}$
