Answer:
there isn't an answer, you can't get the square root of negative numbers. the sqaure root of a negative number does not exist in the set of Real Numbers
Given that,
Shelley's pet food store sold one customer 5 peanut butter biscuits for $3. She sold another customer 7 beef treats for $4.20.
For peanut, the cost is ratio is
For beef, the ratio is
If we take cross product of these items,
It implies, that the sale is in true proportion. From the cross product, we find that it is equal.
There's a really easy way to convert any units to other units.
Right now, we have the fraction (4 miles) / (2 hours).
We want to find a fraction that's exactly equal to that one,
but has the units of (miles/minute) or maybe (feet/minute).
Just take the original fraction, and multiply it by some other
fractions.
Each fraction you multiply it by must have the value of ' 1 ' so
you don't change the value of the original fraction. But it can
have different units, that cancel with other units to eventually
give you the units you want.
(4 miles / 2 hours) times (1 hour / 60 minutes)
The second fraction is equal to ' 1 ', because the top and the bottom
have the same value ... 1 hour is the same thing as 60 minutes.
Multiply the fractions: (4 miles x 1 hour) / (2 hour x 60 minutes)
Now you can cancel 'hour' from the top and the bottom, and you have
(4 miles x 1) / (2 x 60 minutes)
= (4 miles) / (120 minutes)
= (4 / 120) mile/minute = 0.0333... mile / minute .
Let's do it again, go a little farther, and get an answer that
might mean more and feel more like an answer.
(4 miles) / (2 hours) x (5280 feet / mile) x (1 hour / 60 minutes)
The 2nd and 3rd fractions both have the value of ' 1 ', because
the top is equal to the bottom.
Multiply all three fractions:
(4 miles x 5280 feet x 1 hour) / (2 hours x 1 mile x 60 minutes)
You can cancel both 'mile' and 'hour' out of the top and bottom,
and look what you have left:
(4 x 5280 feet x 1) / (2 x 1 x 60 minutes)
= (4 x 5280) / (2 x 60) feet / minutes
= (21,120 / 120) feet/minute = 176 feet per minute
Answer:
193.53 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Please see the diagram for understanding of how the angles were derived,
Applying Alternate Angles, ABO =77 degrees
The bearing from B to C is 192=180+12 degrees
Subtracting 12 from 77, we obtain the angle at B as 65 degrees.
We want to determine the boat's distance from its starting point.
In the diagram, this is the line AC.
Applying Law of Cosines:
The distance of the boat from its starting point is 193.53 miles (correct to 2 decimal places).
Hi there!
To find this you can simply use a calculator. All you have to do is divide the numerator by the denominator to see what you get.
7/200 in decimal form is 0.035. Pretty simple.
This fraction cannot be simplified.
Hope this helps!
