Answer:

50 miles per hours

Step-by-step explanation:

400 miles per 8 hours is the same as

200 miles for 4 hours which is the same as

100 miles for 2 hours which is still the same as

50 miles per hour

I just divided each one by two until I reached the unit rate

Answer: It would be 50 MPH

Step-by-step explanation:

400/4=100 miles

8/4=2 hours

so now you divide by two

100/2=50 miles

2/2=1 hour

or you could go directly to dividing by 8

400/8=50 miles

8/8=1 hour

Find the distance between<br> 2-3i<br> And<br> 9+21i

Goryan [66]

2 - 3i is just another of writing (2, -3) in the cartesian plane, the 2-3i however is using the "imaginary axis" for the imaginary plane, is all however the imaginary axis is simply the equivalent of the y-axis. Likewise 9+21i is just (9,21), so let's just use the distance formula.

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-3})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{9}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{21})\qquad \qquad d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2} \\\\\\ d=\sqrt{[9-2]^2+[21-(-3)]^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(9-2)^2+(21+3)^2} \\\\\\ d=\sqrt{7^2+24^2}\implies d=\sqrt{49+576}\implies d=\sqrt{625}\implies d=25$
