The central angle with vertex at the center of the Earth is : α = 12` = 1/5° = 0.2°.
The distance between two islands:
L = R π α / 180°
Earth radius = 6,317 km = 3,959 miles
L = 3,959 · 3.14 · 0.2° / 180°
L = 13.82 miles
Answer: Two islands are 13.82 statute miles apart.

Francine applies the commutative property to the product. (−8/9)⋅(−13)⋅(18) Which expression illustrates the commutative propert
oksian1 [2.3K]

The commutative property implies that, the order of multiplication is not important.

(-\frac 89) \cdot (18) \cdot (-13) is true

Commutative property of multiplication states that:

If a \times b  = b \times a

The expression is given as:

(-\frac 89)\cdot (-13) \cdot (18)

To get the commutative expression, we simply change the position of each factor in the expression.

So, some possible equivalent expressions are:

(18) \cdot (-13) \cdot (-\frac 89)

(18)\cdot (-\frac 89) \cdot (-13)

(-13) \cdot (18) \cdot (-\frac 89)

There are several other equivalent expressions.

From the list of options;

(-\frac 89) \cdot (18) \cdot (-13) is true

The marine needs 14 boats for the 42 people registered for a boat race. How many boats will they need for 6 people?​
Degger [83]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write a proportion to determine

42 people          6 people

---------------- = ----------------

14 boats                x boats

Using cross products

42x = 6*14

42x =84

Divide each side by 42

42x/42 = 84/42

x = 2

They will need 2 boats
