Answer:

Her elevation went down too quickly, if she is going down 300 ft per hour at a constant rate, at 1 hour, she should be at 2700 feet. It should take her about 10 hours to get down the mountain.

Chad drove 168 miles in 3 hours. How many miles per hour did Chad drive?

igor_vitrenko [27]

°° Let's see -

Basically, you divide the number of miles Chad drove by the number of hours it took. Then, it gives you the number of miles Chad drove in one hour. Let's try it!

168 ÷ 3 = 56

You can now see that Chad drove 56 miles in one hour.

What is the benefit of dividing out greatest common factors (GCFs) before multiplying?

Nina [5.8K]

Lets get an example, for this example lets use 24/30 x 30/60
Without dividing out GCFs you would get 24x12 over 30 x 60 which is 288/1800
With dividing out GCFs you get 2/1 x 5/1 Which is 7 :)

Emily needs enough Fabric for 3 1/2 hats. Since she has half a hat done. If each bag requires 1 2/7 ft of Fabric, how much fabri

kow [346]

first off let's convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions.

$\stackrel{mixed}{3\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{7}{2}} ~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{1\frac{2}{7}}\implies \cfrac{1\cdot 7+2}{7}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{9}{7}}$

she already did half a hat, so we can say $\cfrac{7}{2}-\cfrac{1}{2}\implies \cfrac{7-1}{2}\implies 3$

so she only needs enough fabric to make 3 more full hats, we know each one uses 9/7 ft, so

$3\cdot \cfrac{9}{7}\implies \cfrac{27}{7}\implies 3\frac{6}{7}$

In ΔTUV, the measure of ∠V=90°, the measure of ∠U=70°, and UV = 9.6 feet. Find the length of TU to the nearest tenth of a foot.

Nutka1998 [239]

28.1 feet

explaination

\cos U = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}=\frac{9.6}{x}

cosU=

hypotenuse

adjacent

=

x

9.6

\cos 70=\frac{9.6}{x}

cos70=

x

9.6

x\cos 70=9.6

xcos70=9.6

Cross multiply.

\frac{x\cos 70}{\cos 70}=\frac{9.6}{\cos 70}

cos70

xcos70

=

cos70

9.6

Divide each side by cos 70.

x=\frac{9.6}{\cos 70}=28.0685\approx 28.1\text{ feet}

x=

cos70

9.6

=28.0685≈28.1 feet

Type into calculator and roundto the nearest tenth of a foot.
