3 0

Answer:

Katie

Step-by-step explanation:

lets convert all the speeds to ft/1 sec

V adam: 9ft/sec

V noah: 164ft/14sec

164/14=11.7142857143= around 11.7 ft/sec

V jake: 1 mile/412 sec

1 mile= 5280 ft

5280 ft/412 sec=

5280/412=12.8155339806= around 12.8 ft/sec

V katie: 845ft/min

minute=60 sec

845ft/60sec=

845/60=14.0833333333= around 14.1 ft/sec

now lets order the velocities(speeds) from least to greatest:

V adam: 9ft/sec, V noah: 11.7 ft/sec, V jake: 12.8 ft/sec, V katie: 14.1 ft/sec

thus, Katie is the fastest runner

A section of a boardwalk is made using 15 boards. Each board is 914914 inches wide. The total width of the section is 144 inches
xeze [42]


<span><span>15 times 9.25 = 138.75 inches.
That leaves

144-138.75 = 5.25 inches for spaces. 
Between the 15 boards are just 14 spaces, however.
So divide 5.25 by 14 and get
3/8" for each space.</span>
<span>Answer by </span>Cromlix(4300)   (Show Source):You can put this solution on YOUR website!
<span>Hi there,
14 boards each 9 1/4 inches wide.
14 x 9 1/4 = 138 3/4 inches
144 inches - 138 3/4 inches

= 5 1/4 inches
Spaces between 14 boards
= 13 spaces.
5 1/4 / 13 = 2/5 of an inch.
Hope this helps. :-)</span></span>

An inlet pipe on a swimming pool can be used to fill the pool in 40 hours. The drain pipe can be used to empty the pool in 42 ho
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Pool will be filled in 280 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Inlet pipe fills in  40 hours = 1 pool

Inlet pipe fills in 1 hours = \frac{1}{40}

Drain pipe empty in 42 hours = 1 pool

Drain pipe empty in 1 hour =  \frac{1}{42}

If both pipes are opened together

 then in pool fills in 1 hour =  \frac{1}{40} -  \frac{1}{42}

      on simplifying the right side ,we get  \frac{42-40}{(40)(42)}

                                                                 =      \frac{2}{(40)(42)}

                                                                 =     \frac{1}{840}

      \frac{1}{840}  pool fills in 1 hour

                       1 pool will be filled in 840 hours

    \frac{2}{3}     pool is filled

empty pool =  1 - \frac{2}{3} =  \frac{1}{3}

therfore  \frac{1}{3} pool will be filled in     \frac{1}{3}X 840 =

                                                                                           = 280 hours

Help, will give Brainliest and five stars
frez [133]
Let's see if we can't be logical here......Pick a formula and see what it yields. For example, choose D.

For n = 1 ---> -1 x 4^1 ----> -1 x 4 = -4, when the correct value is 1. Therefore D is out.

Try C. For n = 1 ---> 1 x 4^(1-1) ---> 1 x 4^0 ----> 1 x1 ---> 1, So it is correct for n =1. How about
n=2? 1 x 4^(2-1) = 1 x 4^1 = 1 x 4 = 4, when the correct answer is -4. Therefore C is out

I'm sure you can do the remaining two choices....
