Answer:

3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

60% means 60 out of 100. For example if you get 60 marks in an exam of 100 marks. This means you got 60% marks.

Which is 60/100. This fraction can further be reduced to 6/10 [divide both numerator and denominator by 10)

6/10 = 3/5 [divide both numerator and denominator by 2)

So, the reduced form of 60% =3/5

A cat is running away from a dog at a speed of 3m/s. originally, the distance between them was 48 meters. What should be the spe

balandron [24]

Answer:

$3.8\:\mathrm{m/s}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula $d=rt$ (distance is equal to rate/speed multiplied by time) to solve this problem.

We know that one minute is equal to 60 seconds. Therefore, the distance travelled by the cat in 1 minute is equal to $d=3\cdot 60=180\text{ meters}$ .

To catch the cat, the dog needs to also cover an additional 48 meters, because the cat was initially 48 meters away from the dog and it ran away from the dog. Hence, the dog will need to cover $180+48=228$ meters in one minute.

Therefore, we have:

$228=60r,\\r=\frac{228}{60}=\boxed{3.8\:\mathrm{m/s}}$
