Answer:

Debbie runs 9 feet per second: 9 ft/s

Jessica runs 1 mile  in 440 seconds: 414/50 ft/s = 207/25 ft/s = 8 7/25 ft/s

jesssica runs 131 feet in 10 seconds: since 1 mile = 5280 ft we have 1/470 mi/s = 5280/470 ft/s = 528/47 ft/s = 11 11/47 ft/s

ron runs 603 feet in 1 minute: 547 ft/min = 603/60 ft/s = 201/20 ft/s = 10 1/20 ft/s

Since:

11 11/47 > 10 1/20 > 9 > 8 7/25

Emily runs the fastest.

Can someone please help me please !
TEA [102]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

GH : √(8-4)^2 + (2-5)^2 = √16+9 = √25 = 5

HI : √(-6-2)^2 + (2-8)^2 = √64+36 = √100 = 10

IJ : √(-2-2)^2 + (-3+6)^2 = √16 + 9 = √25 = 5

JH : √(-2-4)^2 + (-3-5)^2 = √36 + 64 = √100 = 10

Slope of the line that contains GH

(2-5)/(8-4) = -3/4

Slope of the line that contains HI

(-6-2) / (2-8) = 8/6 = 4/3

I calculated the distance between points. Thanks to that I noticed that the opposite sides are congruent, so the quadrilateral can be a rectangle or a parallelogram. So I found the slope of the lines that contain two consecutive sides and I discovered that are perpendicular. So the quadrilateral is a rectangle because its angles are all of 90 degrees

Students were surveyed about their favorite colors 1/4 preferred red, 1/8 preferred blue, 3/5 preferred green. If 15 students pr
const2013 [10]

Answer:

Let us assume the total number of students surveyed = x

Then

Number of students preferring red = x/4

Number of students preferring blue = x/8

Then

Number of students remaining = x - [(x/4) + (x/8)]

                                                  =x - [(2x + x)/8)

                                                  = x - (3x/8)

                                                  = (8x - 3x)/8

                                                  = 5x/8

Number of students preferring the color green = (3/5) * (5x/8)

                                                                          = 3x/8

We also know that the total number of students preferring the color green is 15

So

3x/8 = 15

3x = 15 * 8

x = (15 * 8)/3

  = 5 * 8

  = 40

So in total 40 students were surveyed. I hope the procedure is clear to you.
