L = liz's age now

J = Jack's age now

L-1 and J-1 are their ages one year ago

L-1=3(J-1)

L-1=3J-3

L=3J-3+1

L=3J-2 (to be used later)

L+2 and J+2 are their ages in two years

L+2=2(J+2)

replace L by 3J-2

3J-2+2=2(J+2)

3J=2J+4

3J-2J=4

J=4 is Jack's age now

L-1=3(J-1)

L-1=3(4-1)

L-1=3*3

L-1=9

L=9+1

L=10 is Liz's age now

Sergio [31]

For a regular polygon with n sides, interior angle

= [(n-2) × 180°]/n

So, interior angle of this regular heptagon shape

= [(7 - 2) × 180°]/7

= (5 × 180°)/7

= 900°/7

= (900/7)°

= 128.571° [approximately]

In archery I need to know what is the box plot for sagars scores
Anit [1.1K]
<span>I think you know by now that I strongly encourage everyone to shoot a proper round and whatever the score is, to submit it to our Records Officer, Giles Conn. Think of it as an annual competition (a) to wear him out, and (b) to see if we can altogether, beat last year's tally. Also, for the outdoor season rounds, you can have a go at achieving the St Wilfred trophy. I've won it 3 years running (last year jointly with Terry Skinner), but they wouldn't let me keep it this time, sadly.</span>

A cyclist rides her bike at a rate of 2 meters per second. What is this rate in kilometers per hour? How many kilometers will th
Oksanka [162]

The speed v is 12 m/s.

 

You need to convert the seconds to hours  and meters to kilometers:

 

3600s = 1 hr

 

If you divide 3600 on both sides you will get

 

1 s = (1/3600) hr

 

 

1000m = 1 km

 

If you divide 1000 on both sides you will also get

 

1 m = (1/1000) km

 

 

v = [(12/1000) km] / [(1/3600) hr]

 

v = [(12*3600)/1000] km/hr

 

v = 216/5  km/hr

 

 

The distance in 4 hours is

 

d = [(216/5) km/hr] * 4hr

 

d = 864.50 km

This is why your answer should be 12 m/s

Hope this helps!! - Queenb369
