Answer:

36 minutes past 1, or 1:36

Step-by-step explanation:

A watch normally has an hour hand that does one revolution in 12 hours.

It takes 1 hour to go from the 1 o'clock position to the 2 o'clock position.

Since 1 hour equals 60 minutes, it takes 60 minutes to go from the 1 o'clock position to the 2 o'clock position.

The hour hand is 3/5 of the way from 1 to 2, so the number of minutes past 1 o'clock is 3/5 of 60 minutes.

3/5 of 60 minutes =

= 3/5 * 60 minutes

= 3/5 * 60/1 minutes

= 180/5 minutes

= 36 minutes

The time is 36 minutes past 1, or 1:36

A box of oat cereal costs $3.90 for 15 ounces. A box of rice of cereal costs $3.30 for 11 ounces. Which box of cereal costs less
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

The cost of per ounce of oat cereal is $0.04 less than per ounce cost of rice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost of 15 ounces of oat cereal box = $3.90

Cost of 11 ounces of rice box = $3.30

To compare the unit prices of the the boxes.

Solution:

Using unitary method to find the unit prices:

If 15 ounce of oat box cost =$3.90

∴ 1 ounce of oat cereal would cost = \$\frac{3.90}{15}=\$0.26

∴ Per ounce cost of oat cereal = $0.26

If 11 ounce of rice box cost =$3.30

∴ 1 ounce of rice would cost = \$\frac{3.30}{11}=\$0.3

∴ Per ounce cost of rice = $0.3

Difference in unit costs of oat and rice = \$0.3-\$0.26=\$0.04

On comparing the the unit costs of oats and rice, we find out that the cost of per ounce of oat cereal is $0.04 less than per ounce cost of rice.

RSB [31]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (0, π/4] ∪ (π, 5π/4]

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying by 2 gives ...

  cot(x) ≥ 1

The cotangent function decreases from ∞ to 1 in the domain (0, π/4], and again in the domain (π, 5π/4]. The solution is the union of these two intervals.

  x ∈ (0, π/4] ∪ (π, 5π/4]

_____

(a, b] is interval notation for a < x ≤ b
