If you need the geometry and trigonometry I'll post those. Instead I found an answer at this link: http://jwilson.coe.uga.edu/EMAT6450/Class%20Projects/Scarpelli/Scarpelli_MathematicsBaseballActivity.....
The distance from home plate to the pitcher's mound is 60.5 feet and from home plate to second base is <span>127.28 feet.
Pitcher's Mound to 2nd base = </span><span>
<span>
<span>
66.78</span> </span>f</span>eet
Given those distances, we KNOW a 50 foot sprinkler will NOT reach home plate and second base from the pitcher's mound.
I didn't figure out the pitcher's mound to 1st or to 3rd, since the question is already answered.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Craig left his house at noon and drove 50 miles per hour until 3PM. Then he drove the next 5 hours at 70 miles per hour. Calculate the average rate of change for the entire trip.
This sets up as a very commonly used proportion.
90 oz / 18.95 = 1 oz / x Cross multiply
90 x = 18.95 Divide by 90
x = 18.95 / 90
x = 0.21 dollars or 21 cents.
So each ounce of shampoo costs 0.21 dollars or 21 cents.
This is a very handy way to check best deals. Stores have trained us for years to believe that the more we buy of a brand, the better the price. It isn't always true. Sometimes buying the smaller quantity is the better deal. There is only one way to be sure and that's to do a proportion like this one.
Try this is an example. The same company makes a smaller container of shampoo of 45 oz for 9.15. How much is 1 oz and which is the better deal? You should get 0.20333 dollars so this is marginally (just) the better deal.
Answer:
650
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Maria: (50 bulbs)/(2 hours) = 25 bulbs/hour
Lois: (45 bulbs)/(3 hours) = 15 bulbs/hour
Together: 25 + 15 = 40 bulbs/hour
(150 bulbs)/(40 bulbs per hour) = 3 3/4 hours
(3/4 hours)(60 minutes/hour) = 45 minutes
Total time: 3 hours 45 minutes
