The tortoise and the hare agree to a re-match. As they begin the race, the tortoise plods along slowly but confidently at 2 ½ mp

h. The hare zips ahead at 8 ½ mph, determined not to repeat his original mistake…and he doesn’t! The hare never slows down and reaches the finish line 45 minutes (3/4 of an hour) before the tortoise. How long did the tortoise run?

The tortoise ran a distance of 1.875 miles

The distance traveled or covered is obtained using the relation :

Distance = speed × time

Using the the time it took the hare to reach the finish line:

Time taken = 45 minutes (3/4 hours)

The speed of the tortoise = 2 1/2 mph = 2.5mph

Hence, the distance covered by the tortoise :

(2.5 mph × 3/4 hours) = 1.875 miles

The distance covered by the tortoise is 1.875 miles

if u wanted to find the depth of a submarine during a dive , would it be more reasonable to use an equation with the rate in fee
sergij07 [2.7K]
I would choose to use the equation with feet per hour. Submarines reach such great depths that I feel this unit of measurements better represents the magnitude of those depths.

What is four fraction fifty plus three fractionfive
mina [271]

Answer:

  17/25

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume you want the sum ...

  4/50 + 3/5

  = (2·2)/(25·2) + (3·5)/(5·5)

  = 2/25 + 15/25

  = 17/25

_____

<em>Comment on the question</em>

We prefer math symbols:

  4/50 + 3/5 = ??

or, if you can't manage that, proper English:

  four fiftieths plus three fifths.
