d = 2 3/4
t = 1 hour 15 minutes
r = ????
Calculations
==========
You need to convert the 15 minutes to hours.
1 hour = 60 minutes
x hour = 15 minutes
1/60 = x/15
x = 15/60
x = 0.25 hours
so the time = 1 hours + 0.25 hours
t = 1.25 hours
Now you need to do something with the distance.
3/4 mile = 0.75 of a mile
So the distance = 2 + 0.75 = 2.75 miles
Now you are ready for the answer.
d = r * t you are looking for r
2.75 = r * 1.25
r = 2.75/1.25
r = 2.2 miles / hour
Note you could do this with fractions.
2 3/4 = 11/4
1 1/4 = 5/4
r = 11/4 // 5/4 =11/5 = 2 1/5 which is the same thing as 2.2. If your calculator can handle fractions (those kind of calculators cost about 10 dollars in Canada. It should be 8 in the US) that might be the way to do this problem.
Answer:
( x - 2 )^2 + ( y - 1 )^2 = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
As i previously explained,
The general form of equation for a circle is ( x - h )^2 + ( y - k )^2 = r^2.
h and k are the co-ordinates of the center of circle and r is the radius
Here, We have (2,1) as the co-ordinates of the center of circle
Now,
( x - h )^2 + ( y - k )^2 = r^2
or,( x - 2 )^2 + ( y - 1 )^2 = r^2
The radius of the circle is 1 units(from figure)
So, put that in, we get
( x - 2 )^2 + ( y - 1 )^2 = 1^2
or, ( x - 2 )^2 + ( y - 1 )^2 = 1
You can simplify this or leave it here.
Place value of 4 is 4/100

Change the denominators to be the same
------------------------------------------------------
5/ 8 = 5/8
7/4 = 14/8
Since the denominators are the same, the larger the numerator, the larger the fraction. Therefore 14/8 (7/4) is greater than 5/8.
14/8 > 5/8
7/4 > 5/8

Answer: The grasshopper that is 7/4 unit long is longer
