Welcome to Brainly! I'm happy to help!

We see that there are 1,610 meters in a mile. However, we are looking for millimeters, not meters. But, knowing the meters will help us out.

A millimeter is a very small measurement. There are 1,000 millimeters in 1 meter. A meter is much larger. So, if we want to convert 1,610 meters to millimeters, there are going to be way more millimeters because they are so minute.

This means that we will have to multiply. We know that there are 1,000 millimeters in 1 meter, so if we multiply our meters by 1,000 (which is basically just adding 3 zeros), we will get the number of millimeters in one mile!

1,610×1,000=1,610,000 (one million six hundred and ten thousand!)

Don't forget that we are looking for 3 miles though, so we can take the number of millimeters in one mile and multiply by three.

1,610,000×3=4,830,000 (four million eight hundred and thirty thousand!)

So, Tobias ran 4,830,000 millimeters!

Have a wonderful day and keep on learning! :D

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So, in this problem, we're given the size of the of the file. We are also given the rate of change of the amount-downloaded function.

Notice how the transfer rate is in units of time (25.2 MB/s means 25.2 MB per second).

If we want to calculate how <em>long</em> it'll take to download the entire file, we have to divide the file size by the amount of the MB downloaded in one second. (This is assuming the download rate is constant, in the case it isn't constant, you would use calculus) This will find the total number of seconds needed to download the entire file.

We're essentially solving for t in the equation

$400.6 = 25.2t$
