Step-by-step explanation:
(4,20) means that the snail took four hours to cover a distance of 20 feet.
To find the decimal divide the numerator by the denominator so
5/8=0.625 therefore as a decimal 5/8 =0.625
To find its percentage divide the numerator by the denominator and multiply by 100 so
5/8 *100=62.5 therefore as a percentage 5/8 is 62.5%
Answer:
Barbara's speed in clear weather is and in the thunderstorm is .
Step-by-step explanation:
Let be the speed and be the time Barbara drives in clear weather, and let be the speed and be the time she drives in the thunderstorm.
Barbara drives 22 mph lower in the thunderstorm than in the clear weather; therefore,
(1).
Also,
(2).
(3). ,
and
(4).
From equations (2) and (3) we get:
putting these in equation (4) we get:
and substituting for from equation (1) we get:
This equation can be rewritten as
which has solutions
We take the first solution because it gives a positive value for
.
Thus, Barbara's speed in clear weather is and in the thunderstorm is .
Answer:
Temperature after 1 minute = 184 ° F
Step-by-step explanation:
starting temperature = 200 °F
rate of decrease = 8% per minute
Temperature lost = 8% of 200 = 8/100 × 200 = 0.08 × 200 = 16 °F
It therefore means that after 1 minute, the cup of coffee loses 16 °F,
∴ Temperature after 1 minute = (starting temperature) - (lost temperature)
= 200 - 16 = 184 °F
