<h3>Answer: Choice A. 13 & 5/8 inches</h3>

Ideally you should always post the diagram to help us see the entire problem; however, the diagram is not needed in this case because we are told the figure is regular decagon. So there are 10 sides and each side is the same length. If each side is x inches long, then the perimeter is 10x inches.

10x = 136 & 1/4

10x = 136 + 1/4

10x = 136 + 0.25

10x = 136.25

x = 136.25/10

x = 13.625

x = 13 + 0.625

x = 13 + 625/1000

x = 13 + 5/8

x = 13 & 5/8

Ok, make sure you put the powers correctly. I know what you mean but someone else may not. So it's step 2. This is because the 4 doesn't mean add a digit.

The weather satellite shows that hurricane George is 1,728 kilometers southeast of Puerto Rico and moving northwest at 24 kilome

Answer:

1. 3 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the hurricane George is 1,728 kilometers southeast of Puerto Rico and moving northwest at 24 kilometers per hour.

First of all we will find the number of hours it will take for George to reach Puerto Rico. We can find number of hours taken by hurricane George to reach Puerto Rico by dividing 1728 by 24.

$\text{Time}=\frac{\text{ Distance}}{\text{ Speed}}$

$\text{Time taken by hurricane George to reach Puerto Rico}=\frac{1728}{24}$

$\text{Time taken by hurricane George to reach Puerto Rico}=72$

We can see that George will reach Puerto Rico in 72 hours. Let us convert hours to days by dividing 72 by 24 (number of hours in a day).

$\text{Days taken by hurricane George to reach Puerto Rico}=\frac{72}{24}=3$

Therefore, the hurricane George will reach to Puerto Rico in 3 days, if the hurricane stays on its present course. Our first option is the correct choice.
