Answer:

arc XY = 15 units

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN :-

Angle subtended by arc XY at center = 60°
Circumference of the circle = 90 units.

TO FIND :-

Length of XY

FACTS TO KNOW BEFORE SOLVING :-

Length of arc of the sector = $\frac{\theta}{360} \times (Circumference \: of \: the \: circle)$ where θ is the angle subtended by arc of the sector at the center of the circle.

SOLUTION :-

$XY = \frac{60}{360} \times 90 = \frac{90}{6} = 15$

Jim washes 2/3 of his car with 1/2 a bottle of soap. What fraction of the soap will he use to clean his entire car?

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

if he uses 1/2 for 2/3, then you can divide 2/3 and 1.2 by 2 to get the remaining soap needed to complete the wash

so to clean the last 1/3 of the car, he`ll use 1/4 of the remaining soap

the entire car needs 3/4 of a bottle of soap

Today joelle walked at a rate of 3 miles per hour and she ran 15 minutes at a rate of 6 miles per hour.How many total miles did

svetoff [14.1K]

I added a screenshot with the complete question

Answer:
Total miles = 2.5 miles

Explanation:
1- While walking:
We are given that Joelle walked 20 minutes at a rate of 3 miles per hour.
This means that she walked $\frac{20}{60} = \frac{1}{3}$ of an hour at a rate of 3 miles per hour
The formula that relates distance, time and velocity is:
Distance = velocity * time
Substitute with the givens to get the distance she covered while walking:
Distance = 3 * $\frac{1}{3}$ = 1 mile

2- While running:
We are given that Joelle ran 15 minutes at a rate of 6 miles per hour
This means that she ran $\frac{15}{60} = \frac{1}{4}$ of an hour at a rate of 6 miles per hour
The formula that relates distance, time and velocity is:
Distance = velocity * time
Substitute with the givens to get the distance she covered while running:
Distance = 6 * $\frac{1}{4}$ = 1.5 miles

3- getting the total mileage:
Total distance she covered = distance while walking + distance while running
Total distance she covered = 1 + 1.5
Total distance she covered = 2.5 miles

Hope this helps :)
