Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 30 \ houses}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Each house uses 1/4 acres and there is a total of 7 1/2 acres. Therefore, we can divide the total land by the land used for one house.

7 \frac{1}{2} \div  \frac{1}{4}

First, convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.

An easy way to do this is by multiplying the denominator or bottom number of the fraction (2) by the whole number (7). Then, add the numerator (1).

  • 2*7=14
  • 14+1 =15

This becomes the numerator of the improper fraction and the denominator stays the same. The fraction is 15/2

\frac{15}{2} \div \frac{1}{4}

Now, divide the fractions. Multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction and follow Keep Change Flip.

Keep the first fraction. Change the division sign to a multiplication symbol.

\frac{15}{2} \times \frac{1}{4}

Flip the second fraction. Switch the numerator and denominator.

\frac{15}{2} \times \frac{4}{1}

Multiply across.

\frac{(15*4)}{(2*1)}

\frac{60}{2} =30

<u>30 houses can be built.</u>

Studies show that a typical giant hummingbird can flap its wings once in 0.08 of a second.
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

a. 90

b. 360

Step-by-step explanation:

The time taken by humming bird to flap its wings= 0.08 sec

by flying 7.2 seconds a typical giant hummingbird flap its wings \frac{7.2}{0.08} times

= 90 times

Since, A ruby-throated hummingbird can flap its wings 4 times faster than a giant hummingbird, it will flap its wings in every 0.02 sec

so in 7.2 seconds it will flap \frac{7.2}{0.02} times = 360 times
