Answer:

The easiest approach is to realise that one hour is 3 times longer than 20 minutes. The longer the time, the more they will pave.

215 of a mile, in 20 minutes, how much in 60 minutes?#

They will pave 3 times more.

215×31=615 of a mile

615=25 of a mile

You could also use the 'unitary method' where you find out how much they pave in ONE minute (divide by 20) and them multiply by 60 to find how much in one hour.

Look at what happens:

215÷20×60

=215×120×603

=215×3 ← exactly the same maths.

=25

Answer:

2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

If you meant you want to find U,

1) Divide both side by 2. -> U = 4/9 divided by 2

2) You get U = 4/18, which you can further simplify by dividing 2 on top and bottom to get 2/9

How do you do question b?

notsponge [240]

Part (b)

We use the result of part (a) and plug in (x,y) = (0,0). This is directly from the initial condition y(0) = 0.

$\arcsin(4y) = x^2 + C\\\\\arcsin(4*0) = (0)^2 + C\\\\\arcsin(0) = C\\\\0 = C\\\\C = 0\\\\$

-----------------

This means,

$\arcsin(4y) = x^2 + C\\\\\arcsin(4y) = x^2 + 0\\\\\arcsin(4y) = x^2\\\\4y = \sin(x^2)\\\\y = \frac{1}{4}\sin(x^2)\\\\$

is the solution with the initial condition y(0) = 0.
