Answer:

5/6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a proportion where x is the number of hours it will take to walk 1/6 of a mile:

$\frac{1/5}{1}$ = $\frac{1/6}{x}$

Cross multiply and solve for x:

1/5x = 1/6

x = 5/6

So, it will take the tortoise 5/6 hours to walk 1/6 of a mile

What is the volume of the prism?

mezya [45]

Answer:

40 $\frac{5}{8}$ $cm^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure is a rectangular prism, so the formula would be Volume = length x width x height.

length = 6 $\frac{1}{2}$ cm

width = 2 $\frac{1}{2}$ cm

height = 2 $\frac{1}{2}$ cm

If you plug everything you have in the problem into the volume equation, you would get : Volume = 6 $\frac{1}{2}$ cm x 2 $\frac{1}{2}$ cm x 2 $\frac{1}{2}$ cm.

Without a calculator, I would first turn the mixed numbers into improper fractions.

6 $\frac{1}{2}$ = $\frac{13}{2}$

2 $\frac{1}{2}$ = $\frac{5}{2}$

Volume = $\frac{13}{2}$ x $\frac{5}{2}$ x $\frac{5}{2}$

When you multiply everything together you should get $\frac{325}{8}$ .

As a mixed number, that would be 40 $\frac{5}{8}$ $cm^{3}$ .

Which equation represents a circle with a center at (–3, –5) and a radius of 6 units?

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation of the circle is:

(x-h)²+(y-k)²=r²

(h, k)=(-3,-5) are the coordinates of the center of the circle.

r=6 is the radius

The equation of the circle is:

(x+3)²+(y+5)² = 36

Need help with this question; What is the measure of one leg of a right angle given that the hypotenuse measure 14cm and the oth

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

11.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of a right angled triangle can be determined using Pythagoras theorem

The Pythagoras theorem : a² + b² = c²

where a = length

b = base

c = hypotenuse

a² + 8² = 14²

a² + 64 = 196

a² = 196 - 64

a² = 132

find the square root of 132

a = 11.5 cm
