What is the speed of a runner who completes the 800 m race in one minute and 40 seconds?

1 answer:

7 0

Answer: 8 m/s

First let’s convert the time to seconds. There are 69 seconds in a minute so 1 minute and 40 seconds is 60 +40 second which totals to 100 seconds
Now to get the speed in meters per second we divide the total meters run by the total seconds
So the speed will be 800m/100s = 8m/s

Answer:

x=-2.25,y=-2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system is

$4x - y = - 9 \\ 3x - 3y = 0$

We want to solve the system for x and y that makes the system true.

Let us multiply the first equation by 3 while maintaining the second equation:

$12x -3 y = - 27 \\ 3x - 3y = 0$

Subtract the current second equation from the first one.

$12x = - 27$

Divide through by 12:

$x = - \frac{27}{12} = - 2.25$

From the second equation we have:

$3x = 3y$

This implies that:

$x = y = - 2.25$

Help me please solve the circled question show your work

Part 1) Use the fact that there are 12 inches in a foot

a) How many inches tall is a 7 foot basketball player?

we know that

1 foot=12 inches

so by proportion

$\frac{12}{1} \frac{inches}{foot} =\frac{x}{7} \frac{inches}{feet} \\ \\x=12*7\\ \\x=84\ inches$

therefore

the answer Part 1a) is

$84\ inches$

Part b) If a yard is a 3 feet long, how many inches are in a yard?

we know that

1 yard=3 feet

1 foot=12 inches

Convert 3 feet to inches

by proportion

$\frac{12}{1} \frac{inches}{foot} =\frac{x}{3} \frac{inches}{feet} \\ \\x=12*3\\ \\x=36\ inches$

therefore

the answer Part 1b) is

$36\ inches$

Part 2) At the farmer's market two pounds of peaches cost $4.20 How much will five pounds cost?

by proportion

$\frac{4.20}{2} \frac{\$}{pounds} =\frac{x}{5} \frac{\$}{pounds} \\ \\2*x=4.2*5\\ \\x=4.2*5/2=\$10.5$

therefore

the answer Part 2) is

$\$10.5$

Part 3) Janice mother gave her a ten dollars bill to buy five pounds each of bananas and apples at the grocery store. When she got there she found that bananas were 80 c per pound and apples were $1.40 per pound.

Did Janice's mother give her enough money? If so, should she receive any change? If not, how much more money does she need?

we know that

Find the cost of the bananas

$5\ pounds*0.80\frac{\$}{pounds}=\$4$
