Distance = Rate * Time where the asterisk represents multiplication
We can isolate the rate if we divide both sides by the time. So we'll end up with this formula
Rate = Distance/Time
which can be written as
r = d/t
The distance is measured in feet while the time is measured in minutes. The rate r is measured in feet per minute. If the speed was 10 feet per minute, then this would mean that the object travels 10 feet every minute. Or put another way, when one minute passes by, the object has traveled 10 feet.
How did I get "feet per minute" from the equation r = d/t?
Well the units for "d" are in feet, and the units for "t" are in minutes
So writing "d/t" would turn into "feet/minute" when we think of the units only (ignore the actual numbers). Then we rewrite "feet/minute" into "feet per minute" as they mean the same thing, just written different ways.

Answer: The units for the speed or rate are in feet per minute
Answer:6.6 y
Step-by-step explanation:
Well, let's look at the answer choices.
A) If you want to fond the total cost of two sweaters you would add, not divide. So this isn't it.
B) To find out how much older someone is you would subtract. So this isn't it either.
C) To find out how many desks are needed you would multiply, since you know you need 3 rows of desks with 7 students each (3 x 7). Again, not it.
D) To find out how many pencils each student would get, you'd divide. You would divide 56 by 9. So your answer is D.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We would assume a binomial distribution for the handedness of the population. Let x be a random variable representing the type of handedness in the population. The probability of success, p is that a randomly chosen person is left handed only. Then probability of failure is that a chosen person is not left handed only(right handed only or both).
p = 12/100 = 0.12
number of success, x = 20
n = 200
the probability that there are at least 20 left-handers is expressed as P(x ≥ 20)
From the binomial probability calculator,
P(x ≥ 20) = 0.84
