A stream is flowing down a slope into a larger river. The elevation of the head of the stream is 2,200 feet above sea level. The

elevation of the mouth of the stream is 1,000 feet. The horizontal distance along the stream between those two points is 63,360 feet. What is the gradient of the slope the stream is flowing over in ft/mi

Answer:

100\ \text{ft/mi}

Step-by-step explanation:

Elevation of the head of the stream is 2,200 feet above sea level

Elevation of the mouth of the stream is 1,000 feet

Rise = 2200-1000=1200\ \text{ft}

Distance between the two points = 63360\ \text{ft}=\dfrac{63360}{5280}=12\ \text{mi} = Run

Gradient is given by

\dfrac{\text{Rise}}{\text{Run}}=\dfrac{1200}{12}\\ =100\ \text{ft/mi}

The gradient of the slope the stream is flowing over is 100\ \text{ft/mi}.

Answer:

-6

Step-by-step explanation:

-1+(-5)

You are moving down the numberline, then subtracting again because of the negative sign. -(1+5) is how I like to think of it.

So, 1+5=6, and you add the negative sign. -1+(-5)=-6.

A rectangle has length represented as (R +5) and width represented as (R + 2).
svetlana [45]

Answer:

4(R + 5 + R + 2) [Option B]

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>GIVEN :-</u>

  • Length = R + 5
  • Width = R + 2

<u>TO FIND :-</u>

  • Perimeter of the rectangle

<u>FORMULAE TO BE USED :-</u>

For a rectangle with length 'l' and width 'w' , its perimeter = 4(l + w)

<u>SOLUTION :-</u>

Perimeter = 4(R + 5 + R+2)

                 = 4(2R + 7)

                 = 8R + 14

1. I chose Volleyball, which has only 2 kids. Football has 9 kids. So to find how many more kids prefer Football over Volleyball we subtract the two.

9-2= 7

2. The least popular sport is Volleyball, which again is 2.
And soccer has 7 kids who prefer Soccer over any other sport.

So it’s the same process, 7-2= 5
