<h3>Answer:    Malcom can run the furthest.</h3>

======================================================

Explanation:

Race 1

Let's convert Malcom's distance to inches so we can compare his distance to his sister's.

1 yard = 3 feet

10 yards = 30 feet (multiply both sides by 10)

1 foot = 12 inches

30 feet = 360 inches (multiply both sides by 30)

In Malcom's first race, he ran 360 inches. He has run the furthest compared to his sister who ran 300 inches.

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

Race 2

Convert Malcom's distance from feet to inches.

1 foot = 12 inches

18 feet = 216 inches (multiply both sides by 18)

Malcom runs 216 inches compared to his sister's distance of 180 inches. Malcom is the winner again.

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

Race 3

120 inches = 120/12 = 10 feet

Divide by 12 to convert from inches to feet, or you could have these steps

12 inches = 1 ft

120 inches = 10 feet

after multiplying both sides by 10.

Malcom runs 10 feet compared to 5 feet which his sister runs.

In each race, Malcom has ran the furthest.

Mr peterson will buy 80 feet of fencing. The pieces of fence come in whole numbers of feet. His enclosure will be a rectangle an
DIA [1.3K]
The perimeter is:
 P = 2x + 2y = 80
 The area is:
 A = x * y
 The area as a function of a variable is:
 A (x) = x * (40-x)
 Rewriting we have:
 A (x) = 40x-x ^ 2
 We derive the function:
 A '(x) = 40-2x
 We equal zero and clear x:
 40-2x = 0
 2x = 40
 x = 40/2
 x = 20 feet
 The other dimension is:
 y = 40 - x
 y = 40 - 20
 y = 20 feet
 The area will be:
 A = x * y
 A = 20 * 20
 A = 400 feet ^ 2
 Answer:
 
The dimensions are:
 
x = 20 feet
 
y = 20 feet
 
The area is:
 
A = 400 feet ^ 2

Solution to m^2- 36=0
alex41 [277]

Answer:

m=(-6,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

m^2 -36 = 0

Reorder the terms:

-36 + m^2 = 0

Solving for variable 'm'.

 Add '36' to each side of the equation.

-36 + 36 + m^2 = 0 + 36

Combine like terms: -36 + 36 = 0

0 + m^2 = 0 + 36

m^2 = 0 + 36

Combine like terms: 0 + 36 = 36

m^2 = 36

Simplifying

m^2 = 36

Take the square root of each side:

√m^2=+/-√36

m=(+/-)6

m = {-6, 6}

The temperature went from -16°F to 7°F. What was the change in temperature?
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

To find this out, we first need to see the change, is it a positive change or a negative change? Well in this case, as the temperature is increasing, we find that the change is positive. The next step we need to do, id that, how much was the change by, we can find this out by finding the absolute value of the difference of -16°F and 7°F

The absolute value means, the operations answer has to be positive, if not then it will become positive.

|-16°F -7°F|

=> |-23°F|

=> 23°F

If my answer helped, kindly mark me as the brainliest!!

Thank You!!
