D would be the correct answer
Answer:
2.5 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The relation between time, speed, and distance is ...
distance = speed × time
We can define t to be Stanley's swimming time. Then t+0.5 was his running time, and 2(t+0.5) was his biking time. His total distance covered is ...
64 = 9(t +0.5) +16(2(t +0.5)) +2.5(t)
64 = 43.5t +20.5 . . . . . . . simplify
43.5 = 43.5t . . . . . . . . . subtract 20.5
t = 1 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of t
Stanley swam for 1 hour, so the distance he covered while swimming was ...
(2.5 mi/h)(1 h) = 2.5 mi
Stanley covered 2.5 miles while swimming.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
Stanley ran for 1.5 hours, covering 9×1.5 = 13.5 miles. He biked for 3 hours, covering 16×3 = 48 miles. His total distance was 2.5 +13.5 +48 = 64 miles, as given.
Answer:
16 sq. units
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>The formula for the area of a triangle:</u>
<u>If base and height are known as:</u>
- b = 8 units and h = 4 units
<u>Then the area is:</u>
- A = 1/2*8*4 = 16 sq. units
Answer:
h = 13 units²
Step-by-step explanation:
The way to find the area of a parallelogram is to multiply the length of one side (21) and multiply it by the height:
A = l*h
We know the area and the length:
273 = 21*h
Now we solve for height.
273/21 = (21*h)/21
273/21 = h
273/21 = 13
h = 13 units²
