Answer:

3.8\:\mathrm{m/s}

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula d=rt (distance is equal to rate/speed multiplied by time) to solve this problem.

We know that one minute is equal to 60 seconds. Therefore, the distance travelled by the cat in 1 minute is equal to d=3\cdot 60=180\text{ meters}.

To catch the cat, the dog needs to also cover an additional 48 meters, because the cat was initially 48 meters away from the dog and it ran away from the dog. Hence, the dog will need to cover 180+48=228 meters in one minute.

Therefore, we have:

228=60r,\\r=\frac{228}{60}=\boxed{3.8\:\mathrm{m/s}}

Answer:

\boxed{3.8 \: m/s}

Explanation

The first step is to set the speed and the distance equal to the unknown rate of the dog.

3 m/s + 48 m = x m/60s.

Then substitute 60s in for both rates to get distance.

180m + 48m = x m/60

228m = 60x m

÷60 ÷60

3.8m = x m/s.

x = 3.8m/s

Answer:

x = 70.53 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

equation:

cos-1 = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}

⇒ cos-1 x = \frac{4}{12}

⇒ cos-1 x = 0.33

⇒ x = 70.528

round to the nearest tenth:

⇒ 70.53

You lose 2 points every time you forget to write your name on a test. You have forgotten to write your name 4 times. What intege
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

-8

Step-by-step explanation: since it says Times, (for me times is multiplication) you would multiply -2 and 4. negative 2 would be from that person losing 2 points. and 4 since it is your total amount of times you have forgotten to write your name. so, -2 x 4 = -8.

how i got -8. both signs from -2 and 4 are different, and when they are different the answer will always be negative.
