Answer:

The scale model giraffe is 5 inches tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the size of the giraffe sculpted by the artist, knowing that it has been built on a scale of 1 inch for every 4 feet, and knowing that the real giraffe in the zoo is 20 feet, the following calculation must be performed:

20 feet / 4 inches = X

5 = X

Therefore, the size of the giraffe sculpted to scale by the artist is 5 inches.

First, convert the distance of a typical marathon to kilometers.
1 mi = 1.609 km
26.2 miles = 42.165 km

Divide this distance by Allan's average speed to get his average time.

42.165 km / 12 km/hr = 3.514 hours

HELP The minute hand of a clock is 5 inches long. to the the nearest tenth of an inch, how far does the tip of the minute hand t
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

18.326 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is basically asking us to find the arc length that the tip of the minute hand travels. The formula for an arc length is S=θr. So we need th find the angle that the minute hand passes through. We know that there is 360 degrees in a cicle and there is 12 stops around a clock, so divide 360 by 12 to find the degrees the minute hand travels every 5 minutes. We ge that every 5 minutes the hand travels 30 degrees, and 35 minutes is 7*5 so we multiple 30*7 to find the angular displacement, and we get 210 degrees. This equation uses radians though so we have to convert, which can be done doing \frac{210}{1} *\frac{\pi }{180}, and we ge that θ is \frac{7\pi }{6} so (\frac{7\pi }{6})(5)= 18.326 inches

What is the gcf of 3/7 and 4/9?
LiRa [457]

Answer:

  1/63

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a couple of ways to do this.

<h3>1) </h3>

Look for the GCF of the numerators when a common denominator is used.

  GCF(3/7, 4/9) = GCF(27/63, 28/63) = (1/63)·GCF(27, 28)

  GCF(3/7, 4/9) = 1/63

__

<h3>2) </h3>

Use Euclid's algorithm. If the remainder from division of the larger by the smaller is zero, then the smaller is the GCF; otherwise, the remainder replaces the larger, and the algorithm repeats.

  (4/9)/(3/7) = 1 remainder 1/63*

  (3/7)/(1/63) = 27 remainder 0

The GCF is 1/63.

__

* The quotient is 28/27 = 1 +1/27 = 1 +(1/27)(3/7)/(3/7) = 1 +(1/63)/(3/7) or 1 with a remainder of 1/63.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

3/7 = (1/63) × 27

4/9 = (1/63) × 28
