Setler79 [48]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

1.1 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

John swims a distance of  5/12 miles

time taken = 3/8 of an hour

Required

The speed with which John swims

Step two:

speed= distance/time

substituting we have

speed= 5/12/3/8

multiply the numerator by the inverse of the denominator

speed= 5/12*8/3

speed= 40/36

speed= 1.1 mph

The area of a square is 49 square meters. How long is each side?
Artemon [7]

A square has 4 equal sides, which means when you need to work out the area, you're doing length × width, but the length and width are exactly the same, because it's a square (look at the picture if you don't understand this).

That means you just have to pick any side (let's call this side x), and multiply it by another side of the square. Now, because all of the sides are equal, you're doing x multiplied by x, which is the same as x².

Therefore, if the area is equal to x², and in this question, it's also equal to 49 (as stated in the question), we can equate them to each other:

x² = 49

Now to get the x by itself, we need to do the opposite of squaring, which is square rooting. Therefore, we square root both sides of the equation:

√x² = √49

The √ and the ² cancel out, so you're just left with x:

x = √49

The square root of 49 is just 7, so we can replace √49 with 7, and we get:

x = 7

Now remember, earlier, I called x the value of one side. Therefore, by remembering that, you know that the value of one side is equal to 7. And because all the sides are the same as each other, each side is equal to 7 metres.

Therefore, your final answer is 7 metres :)

The cost for the raw materials of marble countertops, can be represented by the function , where is the area of the countertops.
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

m(c(a)) = 4.8875a

Step-by-step explanation:

The missing parameters are:

c(a) = 4.25a --- Cost of marble countertops

m(c) = 1.15c --- Cost of retail markup

Required

The cost of marked up price

This implies that we calculate m(c(a))

We have:

c(a) = 4.25a

m(c) = 1.15c

m(c) = 1.15c can be written as:

m(c(a)) = 1.15*c(a)

Substitute: c(a) = 4.25a

m(c(a)) = 1.15*4.25a

m(c(a)) = 4.8875a

Hence, the cost of marked up price is: m(c(a)) = 4.8875a

sesenic [268]

x= wildfires in 2003

163,476= 4x - 12,520

(163,476 + 12,520) / 4

x = 43,999 your answer is 43,999
