Answer:

This is a proportional relationship, the constant of proportionality is 20m/s and it represents that the horse can run 20 meters every second.  

Equation:  d = 20s, where d=distance and s=number of seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find out whether this relationship is proportional, you need to see if the rate at which the horse runs is constant (the same).  If you look at the three sets of data (24, 480), (40, 800) and (60, 1200) where the pair is (seconds, meters), you can see that for any two sets of data the change in meters divided by the change in seconds is consistently 20m/s.  For example:

\frac{1200-800}{60-40}=\frac{400}{20}=20

Since the constant is 20, we know that the horse can run 20 meters every second.  To find the horse's total distance, we need to multiply the rate by the number of seconds that it runs:

d = 20s

I thought of a number, I added 1 3 4 to it, then I multiplied the result by 2 2 11 and I got 8. What was my number?
Valentin [98]

Given:

In a number, adding 1\dfrac{3}{4}, then multiplying the result by 2\dfrac{2}{11} we get 8.

To find:

The unknown number.

Solution:

Let the unknown number be x.

According to the question,

(x+1\dfrac{3}{4})\times 2\dfrac{2}{11}=8

(x+\dfrac{1\times 4+3}{4})\times \dfrac{2\times 11+2}{11}=8

(x+\dfrac{4+3}{4})\times \dfrac{22+2}{11}=8

(x+\dfrac{7}{4})\times \dfrac{24}{11}=8

Multiply both sides by \dfrac{11}{24}.

x+\dfrac{7}{4}=8\times \dfrac{11}{24}

x+\dfrac{7}{4}=\dfrac{11}{3}

Subtract \dfrac{7}{4} from both sides.

x=\dfrac{11}{3}-\dfrac{7}{4}

x=\dfrac{44-21}{12}

x=\dfrac{23}{12}

x=1\dfrac{11}{12}

Therefore, the required number is 1\dfrac{11}{12}.

A model house has a scale of
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer: Assuming that you mean 1in:2ft the model house would be 13 inches wide.

Step-by-step explanation: well 1 is half of 2 right? So if you want to get the numbers easier to use then just divide that 26 by 2 and then you get the scale 1in:1ft. From there it is easy, 13 feet of the real house= 13 inches in the model house
