Answer:

Notice that the distance is in the y-axis, and the time in the x-axis.

First, let's see what happens in the four points:

A) You can see that in point A, the steepness of the line increases, this means that the speed of the runner increases in that point.

B) In this point, the runner that increased his/her speed in point A crosses the graph of another runner, this means that they are at the same distance to the end and at the same time.

C) In this point again two runners are at the same distance and the same time, and we also can see that the runer that increased his/her speed at point A, now has reached the end of the race (because his line stops increasing, wich means that he/she already finished the race)

D) The las runner finishes the race at point D.

Then the first runner that finishes the race is the one with the shorter graph (shorter graph means that he ran for less time than the others, wich means that he/she finished first)

The last runner is the one that finished at point D,

The middle one finishes right after the point C.

A triangle has sides xcm, (x + 4) cm and 11cm, where x is a whole number of cm. if the perimeter of the triangle is less than 32
NARA [144]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  {4, 5, 6, 7, 8}

Step-by-step explanation:

The inequality related to the perimeter is ...

  x +(x +4) +11 < 32

  2x < 17 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 15

  x < 8.5

The inequality related to the triangle inequality is ...

  (x) +(x +4) > 11

  2x > 7

  x > 3.5

Then possible whole-number values of x are ...

  {4, 5, 6, 7, 8}

A= {a,b,c} . Since this set has 3 elements, the number
of its total subset is 2³ = 8 (including the Ф element):

Here below all the subsets of {a,b,c}, with their related probabilities, knowing that P(a) = 1/2 ; P(b) = 1/3 and P(c) = 1/6

{a}        </span>→→→→1/2

a rectangular frame has a length of 3 and 1/8 feet and an area of 2 and 3/4 feet.what is the width,w, feet,of the fame? please a
Galina-37 [17]
If you would like to find the width of the frame in feet, you can do this using the following steps:

length * width = area
3 1/8 feet * width = 2 3/4 square feet
25/8 feet * width = 11/4 square feet
25/8 * width = 11/4
width = 11/4 / 25/8
width = 11/4 * 8/25
width = 22/25 = 0.88 feet

The correct result would be 22/25 feet.
