Complete question :
On a flight New York to London an airplane travels at a constant speed. An equation relating the distance traveled in miles d to the number of hours flying t is t= 1/500d. How long will it take the airplane to travel 800 miles?
Answer:
1.6 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the function :
Time t taken for flying distance d is given by:
t = 1/500 * d
Tine taken to fly 800 miles;
d = 800 miles
t = 1/500 * (800)
t = 800 / 500
t = 1.6
Hence, time t = 1.6 hours
The first answer, using a number line, is a good answer.
I have two other ways:
Way #1:
5 stones is more than 3 stones.
5 gallons is greater than 3 gallons.
5 pounds is greater than 3 pounds.
5 puppies is greater than 3 puppies.
5 hamburgers is greater than 2 hamburgers.
5 schoolbuses is greater than 3 schoolbuses.
We look around us, and we see that 5 of anything
is always greater than 3 of the same thing.
There's no reason that should change if the 'things' are eighths.
Way #2:
-- Get 2 friends to help you.
-- Take one good-size veggie pizza or coconut cream pie.
-- Carefully cut it up in eight (8) equal pieces.
Now each piece is 1/8 of the pie or the pizza.
-- Give 5 pieces (5/8) to the first friend.
Give 3 pieces (3/8) to the other friend.
-- Ask them to get together and agree on who has more.
Answer:
= 124 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of a rectangle is
P = 2(l+w)
We know the length is 13 and the width is 49
P = 2(13+49)
=2(62)
= 124 ft
