Julie wrote the rate $108 in 6 weeks as a unit rate.Find her mistake and correct it.

1 answer:

6 0

Well for starters that would be $108/6 weeks when a unit rate is anything over one. To put it as a unit rate (how many dollars per hours) you just divide $108 by 6 (since you would divide 6 by 6 to get) and the unit rate would end up being $18 per hour.

Check the picture below

now, 26°35' is just 26bdegrees and 35 minutes

your calculator most likely will have a button [ ° ' " ] to enter degrees and minutes and seconds

there are 60 minutes in 1 degree and 60 seconds in 1 minute

so.. you could also just convert the 35' to 35/60 degrees

so $\bf 26^o35'\implies 26+\frac{35}{60}\implies \cfrac{1595}{60}\iff \cfrac{319}{12}
\\\\\\
tan(26^o35')\iff tan\left[ \left( \cfrac{391}{12} \right)^o \right]$

now, the angle is in degrees, thus, make sure your calculator is in Degree mode
