How do i find the average speed for his question: "A bicycle racer rides from a starting marker at 10m/s. She then rides back al

padilas [110]

To find the average speed for the whole race, you just have to add the speed from a starting marker and the speed from the turnaround marker going back and divide it by 2 since there are only two speeds involved.

10 m/s + 16m/s = 26 m/s / 2 = 13 m/s

Therefore, the average speed for the whole race is 13 m/s.

James folds a piece of paper in half several times,each time unfolding the paper to count how many equal parts he sees. After fo

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

There will be total 2048 parts of the given paper if James if able to fold the paper eleven times.

The needed function is $y = 2 ^n$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the piece of paper James decides to fold is a SQUARE.

Now, let us assume:

n : the number of times the paper is folded.

y : The number of parts obtained after folds.

Now, if the paper if folded ONCE ⇒ n = 1

Also, when the pap er is folded once, the parts obtained are TWO equal parts.

⇒ for n = 1 , y = 2 ..... (1)

Similarly, if the paper if folded TWICE ⇒ n = 2

Also, when the paper is folded twice, the parts obtained are FOUR equal parts.

⇒ for n = 2 , y = 4 ..... (2)

⇒ $y = 2^2 = 2^n$

Continuing the same way, if the paper is folded SEVEN times ⇒ n = 7

So, $y = 2^ n = 2^7 = 128$

⇒ There are total 128 equal parts.

Lastly, if the paper is folded ELEVEN times ⇒ n = 11

So, $y = 2^ n = 2^{11} = 2048$

⇒ There are total 2048 equal parts.

Hence, there will be total 2048 parts of the given paper if James if able to fold the paper eleven times.

And the needed function is $y = 2 ^n$

Answer:

m JIK = 122°

Step-by-step explanation:

HERE, L || M

So, m JIK = m GFI

( since they are corresponding angles pair )

It takes three identical water pumps 8 hours to fill a pool, What is the constant of variation?

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

Constant of variation is 24.

Step-by-step explanation:

Inverse variation states that a relationship between two variables in which the product is remain constant.

If one variable increases then, the other one decreases in proportion so that the product is unchanged,

if y is inversely proportional to x i.e $y \propto\frac{1}{x}$ or

$y =\frac{k}{x}$ ;where k is the constant of variation.

It is given that 3 identical water pumps takes 8 hours to fill a pool,

since, it will take less time with more pumps, so it is an inverse variation.

By definition of inverse variation;

$time = \frac{k}{pump}$

Substitute the values to solve for k;

$8 = \frac{k}{3}$

Multiply by 3 to both sides we get;

$8 \times 3 = \frac{k}{3} \times 3$

Simplify:

k = 24

Therefore, the constant of variation is, 24
