Jon ran around a track that was 1/8 of a mile long. He ran around the track 24 times. How many miles did Jon run?

1 answer:

5 0

1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 = 8/8 so 8 laps = 1 miles.

24/8= 3... so that mean he ran 3 miles around the track, to check work:

1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 = 8/8 so 8 laps = 1 miles.
1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 = 8/8 so 8 laps = 1 miles.
1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 = 8/8 so 8 laps = 1 miles.

if you count how many 1/8 there are you'll get 24 '1/8' therefore you know your answer is correct.

X 1 2 3 4 y 5 10 15 20 What's the constant?

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

x ---> 1

y ---> 5

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given paired values for two variables x and y and we are to determine the constant number by which each term is increased such that they are in a proportional relationship.

For x, we have the following paired values:

$x: 1, 2, 3, 4$

So here the difference between each consecutive term is 1 so the constant is 1.

And for y, we have:

$y: 5, 10, 15, 20$

In this case, the difference between each consecutive term is 5 so the constant is 5.

A regular hexagon has an area of 750.8 cm. The side length is 17 cm. Find the apothem.

kompoz [17]

Since, a regular hexagon has an area of 750.8 square cm and The side length is 17 cm.

We have to find the apothem of the regular hexagon.

The formula for determining the apothem of regular hexagon is $s \div {{2 \tan (\frac{180}{n})}$ , where 's' is any side length of regular hexagon and 'n' is the number of sides of regular hexagon.
