Answer:
A) 10,560 ft. B) 32 more laps.
Step-by-step explanation:
A) Four laps around a track is equal to one mile, and there are 5,280 feet in one mile. If Roger ran eight laps, he ran two miles. Therefore: 5,280 ft. times 2, is equal to 10,560 ft.
B) We know that Roger ran two miles Monday. We also know that four laps around a track is equal to one mile. In order to run 10 miles, he would have to run 40 laps, and since he already ran 8, we can subtract that from 40. You are left with 32 more laps.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Refer to file. Trying something different. Should be easier to read than text format and is easier than mathML.
48 inches to 30 inches is a decrease.
percent decrease = change/original value x 100%
= (48 - 30)/48 x 100%
= 18/48 x 100%
= 37.5% decrease
Answer:
4 inches should be turned up on both sides.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find this, create a situation in which we give the amount turned up on each side as x. Then give the amount that isn't turned up as 16 - 2x (since 2x is the amount turned up). Now we can find the area by multiplying the 3 measurements.
100 * x * (16 - 2x) = MAX
100 * (16x - 2x^2) = MAX
-200x^2 + 1600x = MAX
Now that we have a quadratic function, we can find the maximum value of x by using the vertex formula for x values (-b/2a).
x = -b/2a
x = -1600/2(-200)
x = -1600/-400
x = 4
