Answer:

Nathaniel ran fastest

Step-by-step explanation:

For Joseph

Joseph ran 2 3/4 miles 2 /5 of an hour.

Speed = Distance/Time

Speed = 2 3/4 miles ÷ 2/5 hour

= 11/4 ÷ 2/5

= 11/4 × 5/2

= 55/8 miles/hour or 6.875 miles/hour

How fast did he run in 1 hour? (try to leave your answer in a fraction)

Hence, this is calculated as:

2/5 hour = 55/8 miles per hour

1 hour = x

Cross Multiply

x = 55/8 ÷ 2/5

x = 55/8 × 5/2

x = 275/16 miles per hour

x = 17 3/16 miles per hour

Nathaniel ran LaTeX: 8 2/3 miles in 4 /3 of an hour. How fast did Nathaniel run in 1 hour? (try to leave your answer in a fraction)

Speed = Distance/Time

Speed = 8 2/3 miles ÷ 4/3hour

= 26/3 ÷ 4/3

= 26/3 × 3/4

= 26/4 miles/hour

How fast did he run in 1 hour? (try to leave your answer in a fraction)

Hence, this is calculated as:

4/3 hour = 26/4miles per hour

1 hour = x

Cross Multiply

x = 26/4 ÷ 4/3

x = 26/4 × 3/4

x = 78/16 miles per hour

x = 4 14/16 miles per hour

= 4 7/8 miles per hour

Who ran the fastest, Nathaniel or Joseph?

Hence, from the calculation above, Nathaniel ran fastest

The algebraic proof shows that the angles in an equilateral triangle must equal 60° each

<h3>Laws of cosines </h3>

From the question, we are to use the law of cosines to write an algebraic proof that shows that the angles in an equilateral triangle must equal 60°.

Given any triangle ABC, the measures of angles A, B, and C by the law of cosines are

cos A = (b^2 + c^2 - a^2)/2bc

cos B= (a^2 + c^2 - b^2)/2ac

cos C = (a^2 + b^2 - c^2)/2ab  

Now, given that the triangle is equilateral, with each of the side lengths equal to s

That is, a = b = c = s

Then, we can write that

cos A = (s^2 + s^2 - s^2)/(2s×s)

cos A = (s^2 )/(2s^2)

cos A = 1/2

cos A = 0.5

∴ A = cos⁻¹(0.5)

A = 60°

Also

cos B = (s^2 + s^2 - s^2)/(2s×s)

cos B = (s^2 )/(2s^2)

cos B = 1/2

cos B = 0.5

∴ B = cos⁻¹(0.5)

B = 60°

and

cos C = (s^2 + s^2 - s^2)/(2s×s)

cos C = (s^2 )/(2s^2)

cos C = 1/2

cos C = 0.5

∴ C = cos⁻¹(0.5)

C = 60°

Thus,

A = 60°, B = 60° and C = 60°

Hence, the algebraic proof above shows that the angles in an equilateral triangle must equal 60° each.

Rudiy27
John has 17000 - 2500 = 14500 left to pay after the down payment 

Then add on the finance charges 14500 + 4900 = 19400

The total of $19400 is to be paid over 60 monthly instalments, so John will be paying 19400÷60 = $323.30 per month

Wyatt is going to a carnival that has games and rides. Each game costs $1. 25 and each ride costs $2. 75. Wyatt spent $20. 25 al
Nonamiya [84]

In the carnival the number of games number of rides Wyatt went on is 3 and 6 respectively.

<h3>What is system of equation?</h3>

A system of equation is the set of equation in which the finite set of equation is present for which the common solution is sought.

The number of unknown objects can be find using the system of solution.

Given information-

The cost of each game is $1.25.

The cost of each ride is $2.75.

Total amount of money spent by the Wyatt is $20.25.

The number of rides he went on is twice the number of games he played.

Suppose the number of games Wyatt played is x and the number of rides he went in the carnival is <em>y. </em>

As, the number of rides he went on is twice the number of games he played. Thus,

y=2x

Let the above equation as equation one.

As total amount of money spent by the Wyatt is $20.25 and The cost of each game is $1.25 and the cost of each ride is $2.75. Thus,

1.25x+2.75y=20.25\\

Put the value of y in the above equation from the equation one as,

1.25x+2.75(2x)=20.25\\1.25x+5.5x=20.25\\6.75x=20.25\\x=3

Thus the number of games he played is 3.

Put this value of <em>x </em>in the equation one as,

y=2\times3\\y=6

Thus the number rides Wyatt went on is 6.

Hence, In the carnival the number of games number of rides, Wyatt went on is 3 and 6 respectively.
