The results of a swim Wet are shown. Who swam faster explain your reasoning

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

The Susana swam the fastest.

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed : It is defined as the distance traveled per unit time.

Formula used : $Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}$

First we have to determine speed of the following persons.

For Tawni :

Distance = 50 m

Time = 40.8 s

1.225 m/s which is the speed of Tawni.

--

For Pepita :

Distance = 100 m

Time = 60.2 s

1.661 m/s which is the speed of Pepita

--

For Susana :

Distance = 200 m

Time = 112.4 s

1.779 m/s which is the speed of Susana

From this we conclude that, in this problem meter affects the response and the speed of Susana is more than the Pepita and Tawani.

Thus, Susana swam the fastest.

How do you identify the information that is given to you that you dont need for solving a problem?

Alborosie

When reading a question, you need to be aware of the numbers presented and the facts. You need to pay attention to the question - what, when, where, how, why or how much. What is being asked in the question is always your clue. Unnecessary information will be eliminated once you understand the question.

Simple example from a Business book:

Jessica Fernandez, manager of Subway, had a bank balance of $5382.12 on March 1. During March, she deposited $60,375.82 received from sales, $3280.18 received as credits from suppliers, and $75.53 as a county tax refund. She paid out $27,282.75 to suppliers, $4280.83 for rent and utilities, and $12,252.23 for salaries and miscellaneous. How much did Fernandez deposit in March?

Answer:
$60,375.82 (sales) + $3280.18 (credits) + $75.53 (refund) = $63,731.53
Fernandez deposit $63,731.53 in March.

The question immediately lead you to the sentence that is the key to the answer.
It is pretty obvious but try to recognize the important facts from the rest.
The question did not ask about Jessica's balance on March 1 or did not ask about how much she pay out. You can immediately eliminate that those information are not necessary to the problem being asked. The question is how much did she deposit in March. You need to find the sentence that points out the answer - During March, she deposited $60,375.82 received from sales, $3280.18 received as credits from suppliers, and $75.53 as a county tax refund. List all the numbers and add them together and you will come up with the figures she deposited. It is just a simple question but it presented the technique for the elimination process of unnecessary facts. It is not "we cannot see the answer" but the truth is we cannot see and understand the question.

with reference to a universal set, the inclusion of a subset in another is relation which is a) symmetric only b) transitive onl

Vlad [161]

Answer:

D?

Step-by-step explanation:

I think it is D since a universal set would only be {1,2,3,4,5,6,...} and the subset would not satisfy any of the conditions of symmetric, transitive, and reflexive.

A baker has 7 3/4 bags of flour.Each bag of flour will make 60 cakes.How many cakes will the baker be able to make if she uses a

Burka [1]

The baker would be able to make 465 cakes. Or D.

Because, 7 x 60 = 420. 60 ÷ 4 = 15. 15 x 3 = 45. 420 + 45 = 465.

Determine the first four terms of the sequence in which the nth term is a_n=(n+1)!/(n+2)!

Vilka [71]

Answer: Choice B) 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6

=============================================

Plug in n = 1 to find the first term

a_n = ( (n+1)! )/( (n+2)! )

a_1 = ( (1+1)! )/( (1+2)! )

a_1 = ( 2! )/( 3! )

a_1 = ( 2*1 )/( 3*2*1 )

a_1 = 2/6

a_1 = 1/3

The first term is 1/3. Optionally you can stop here because only choice B has 1/3 listed as the first term, so this must be the answer. However, I'm going to keep going to show how to find the three other terms. This will help confirm why choice B is the answer, and it will be handy for those times when you aren't given multiple choice answers.

------------

Plug in n = 2

a_n = ( (n+1)! )/( (n+2)! )

a_2 = ( (2+1)! )/( (2+2)! )

a_2 = ( 3! )/( 4! )

a_2 = ( 3*2*1 )/( 4*3*2*1 )

a_2 = 6/24

a_2 = 1/4

The second term is 1/4

------------

Plug in n = 3

a_n = ( (n+1)! )/( (n+2)! )

a_3 = ( (3+1)! )/( (3+2)! )

a_3 = ( 4! )/( 5! )

a_3 = ( 4*3*2*1 )/( 5*4*3*2*1 )

a_3 = 24/120

a_3 = 1/5

The third term is 1/5

------------

Plug in n = 4

a_n = ( (n+1)! )/( (n+2)! )

a_4 = ( (4+1)! )/( (4+2)! )

a_4 = ( 5! )/( 6! )

a_4 = ( 5*4*3*2*1 )/( 6*5*4*3*2*1 )

a_4 = 120/720

a_4 = 1/6

The fourth term is 1/6

------------

The first four terms are: 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, so that confirms why choice B is the answer.
