Answer:

300 m/min

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the general formula of d = rt, where d = distance, r = rate and t = time, we can solve for the missing variable (r, or speed). Given Tara's distance of 1600 m and her total time of 5 minutes and 20 seconds, first convert her time into just minutes:

5 \frac{20}{60}=\frac{1}{3}

5\frac{1}{3}=\frac{16}{3}

1600 = r(16/3)

Multiply both sides by reciprocal of 16/3:  3/16(1600) = r(16/3)(3/16)

Solve for 'r': 300 meters per minute

Mrs William has a prized box with different colored tickets. Each ticket results in different type of prize.
Lera25 [3.4K]

\text{ Answer:} \text{ Probability that he chooses a yellow ticket and then a purple ticket }= \frac{3}{25}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of green tickets =3

Number of yellow tickets = 4

Number of purple tickets = 3

Total number of tickets = 3+4+3=10

Now,

As we know that Pedro select a ticket and replace it and then select another ticket , total number of outcomes will never change it will be 10 only for each case.

Probability that he chooses a yellow ticket and then a purple ticket is given by

\frac{4}{10}\times \frac{3}{10}\\\\=\frac{12}{100}\\\\=\frac{3}{25}

A bookshelf is 42 inches long. How many books of length 1\frac{1}{2}1 2 1 ​ inches will fit on the bookshelf? Explain your reaso
Blababa [14]

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Your question isn't well written but I saw an identical question:

A bookshelf is 42 inches long. Each book is 1 1/4 inches wide. How many books will fit on the shelf?

For us to solve this, we would divide the length of the bookshelf by the width of each book. This would be:

= 42 ÷ 1 1/4

= 42 ÷ 5/4

= 42 × 4/5

= 33 3/5

Therefore, the number of books that will fit on the shelf is 33.
