Answer:

11 over 3 is 2 and 2/3. 2 4/5 is 14/5

Step-by-step explanation:

When making a fraction a mixed number, divide the numerator by the denominator. What ever number you have left will be ur numerator,and denominator always stays the same. Making fractions improper: multiply denominator by the whole number (2) and then add the numerator to the answer. denominator stays the same.

You are a lifeguard and spot a drowning child 60 meters along the shore and 40 meters from the shore to the child. You run along

Answer:

The lifeguard should run across the shore a distance of 48.074 m before jumpng into the water in order to minimize the time to reach the child.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a problem of optimization.

We have to minimize the time it takes for the lifeguard to reach the child.

The time can be calculated by dividing the distance by the speed for each section.

The distance in the shore and in the water depends on when the lifeguard gets in the water. We use the variable x to model this, as seen in the picture attached.

Then, the distance in the shore is d_b=x and the distance swimming can be calculated using the Pithagorean theorem:

$d_s^2=(60-x)^2+40^2=60^2-120x+x^2+40^2=x^2-120x+5200\\\\d_s=\sqrt{x^2-120x+5200}$

Then, the time (speed divided by distance) is:

$t=d_b/v_b+d_s/v_s\\\\t=x/4+\sqrt{x^2-120x+5200}/1.1$

To optimize this function we have to derive and equal to zero:

$\dfrac{dt}{dx}=\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{1}{1.1}(\dfrac{1}{2})\dfrac{2x-120}{\sqrt{x^2-120x+5200}} \\\\\\\dfrac{dt}{dx}=\dfrac{1}{4} +\dfrac{1}{1.1} \dfrac{x-60}{\sqrt{x^2-120x+5200}} =0\\\\\\ \dfrac{x-60}{\sqrt{x^2-120x+5200}} =\dfrac{1.1}{4}=\dfrac{2}{7}\\\\\\ x-60=\dfrac{2}{7}\sqrt{x^2-120x+5200}\\\\\\(x-60)^2=\dfrac{2^2}{7^2}(x^2-120x+5200)\\\\\\(x-60)^2=\dfrac{4}{49}[(x-60)^2+40^2]\\\\\\(1-4/49)(x-60)^2=4*40^2/49=6400/49\\\\(45/49)(x-60)^2=6400/49\\\\45(x-60)^2=6400\\\\$

$x$

As $d_b=x$ , the lifeguard should run across the shore a distance of 48.074 m before jumpng into the water in order to minimize the time to reach the child.
