Answer:

C) 136 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this just do the equation:

170 x 0.8 = ?

This equation tells use how much 80% of 170 is. Also, before doing an equation like this, change the percentage into a decimal like 80% to 0.8.

So,

170 x 0.8 = 136

170 + 136 = 306

So the boat is 306 inches.

Answer:

306 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

80% = 0.8

170 inches × 80% = 170 × 0.8 = 136

The truck is 80% longer than the boat. 80% of the boat is 136.

So, the boat is 170 inches + 136 inches = 306 inches.

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

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
