Answer:

1 1/2 miles or 3/2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We can represent the person's walking rate as the ratio 1/2 mile : 20 minutes. Since we can multiply both sides of a ratio without changing the rate, we can rewrite it as ---> 3*(1/2) miles : 3*20 minutes = 3/2 miles : 60 minutes =

1 1/2 miles : 1 hour

An alternative way would be to convert 20 minutes into 1/3 of an hour. We can set up an equation:

mph * 1/3 hour = 1/2 mile

Therefore, the mph must be 1/2 divided by 1/3, because we are multiplying by 1/3, and division is the opposite of multiplication.

mph = (1/2)/(1/3) = (1/2) * 3 = 3/2 or 1 1/2

Kanye and jay wanted to see who could run faster in a minute.They both started in the same spot and ran in different directions.

Lena [83]

Answer:

Kanye run faster.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Time = 1 min = 60 sec

Suppose, we find the speed of kanye and Jay.

According to number line,

Kanye covers the -160m distance and Jay covers the 140 m distance.

Negative sign shows the opposite direction.

We need to calculate the speed of Kanye

Using formula of speed

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}$

Where, v = speed

d = distance

t = time

Put the value into the formula

$v=\dfrac{160}{60}$

$v=2.66\ m/s$

We need to calculate the speed of Kanye

Using formula of speed

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}$

Put the value into the formula

$v=\dfrac{140}{60}$

$v=2.33\ m/s$

The speed of kanye is more than jay.

Hence, Kanye run faster.

the length of a rectangle is 3cm more than the width. find the length and the width if the perimeter of the rectangle is 98cm.

laila [671]

The perimeter of a rectangle is <u>length + length + width + width</u>.

We know that the length of a rectangle is 3cm more than its width, which gives us the equation: (l for length and w for width)

l = 3 + w

We also know that the perimeter of the rectangle is 98cm, which gives us the equation:

98 = 2l + 2w (equation for perimeter of a rectangle as noted above)

We can divide both sides of this equation by 2 to get:

49 = l + w

Now we'll stick l = 3 + w into the above equation, which gives us:

49 = 3 + w + w

which simplifies to 49 = 3 + 2w.

Now we'll subtract 3 from both sides:

49 - 3 = 46

3 + 2w - 3 = 2w

which gives us 46 = 2w.

Dividing both sides by 2 gives us 23 = w.

Substituting w = 23 into the equation l = 3 + w gives us:

l = 3 + 23

l = 26cm.

Let's check our answer. 26cm is 3cm more than 23cm. 26cm + 26cm + 23cm + 23cm gives us 98cm. The length is 26cm and the width is 23cm.

How do you write 13/25 as a percentage

mariarad [96]

The fraction 13/25 is equivalent to 52 percent.
To workout this, divide the numerator by the denominator, sum this value to the integer part and multiply the result by 100%, so:
13/25 in percent = 13 ÷ 25 × 100% = 0.52 × 100% = 52%

St lies on the coordinate plane with s located at (3.2). The midpoint of dt is z(3,9) state the location of the endpoint T thank

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

T = (3,16)

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint formula is just another version of the pythagorean theorem, and it states that the midpoint between (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is $\left(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}\right),\:\left(\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)$

Substituting what we know:

endpoint S is (3,2) and endpoint T is (x2,y2)

Midpoint Z is (3,9). We will apply the formula -- backwards.

$\left(\frac{3+x_2}{2}\right)=3$ , solving with algebra we get x2 = 3

So the x-coordinate of endpoint T is 3.

$\left(\frac{2+y_2}{2}\right)=9\quad$ , solving with algebra, we get y2 = 16.

So the y-coordinate of endpoint T is 16.

So the location of endpoint T is (3,16)
