In a snail race, the winning snail traveled 5.85 cm in 3/4 of a minute. How fast was the snail traveling per second?

Answer:

0.13 cm per second

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets convert the minutes to seconds:

3/4 minutes = 3/4(60) = 45 seconds

The snail traveled 5.85 cm in 45 seconds

To find out the speed per second, we set up a proportion:

\frac{5.85}{45} = \frac{x}{1}      where 45 and 1 represent the number of seconds, and 5.85 and x represent the distance in that set of time

Let's solve for x, or the distance in 1 second:

\frac{5.85}{45}=\frac{x}{1}\\\\\\\frac{5.85*1}{45x}\\\\\\x = \frac{5.85}{45}\\\\\\\\\\x = 0.13

The snail travels 0.13 cm per second.

Simplify this problem::<br> -6x + 3 3/4 + 14x - 3.25
Lynna [10]

Answer:

8x + 1/2 or 8x + 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

-6x + 3 3/4 + 14x - 3.25

u can either convert the fraction to a decimal or convert the decimal into a fraction, i'm going to do the latter

-6x + 3 3/4 + 14x - 3 1/4

rearrange to make it easier, don't need to do this i'm just doing this for the sake of it

-6x + 14x + 3 3/4 - 3 1/4

8x + 2/4, simplify this

8x + 1/2

The decimal way if u want:

-6x + 3 3/4 + 14x - 3.25

-6x + 3.75 + 14x - 3.25

-6x + 14x + 3.75 - 3.25

8x + 0.5

Describe a relationship in which it would be reasonable to have a negative number in the domain or
Aliun [14]

Answer:

Relationship between temperature at different times of the day during the Winter period in places like Alaska and Minnesota in the USA.

Step-by-step explanation:

An example of a relationship that would have a negative number in the domain or range would be the relationship between the temperature at different times of the day during the snow period in the winter. It's well known that in places like Alaska and Minnesota in the USA, that during the winter when there's very heavy snow, the average temperature is usually below 0°C. The temperature is the dependent variable and is most likely negative in those 2 states and thus the range would have negative numbers.

Riangle XYZ was dilated by a scale factor of 2 to create triangle ACB and sin ∠X = 5 over 5 and 59 hundredths.
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Part A: We know parts of our triangle since the cosine of X is given.  XY = 2.5 and XZ = 5.59 and since it is a scale factor of 2, ABC is most likely similar to XYZ by angle measures and the special relationship is, that they are all equal, because with a scale factor of two, all the ratios in triangle ABC will simplify to the ratios of triangle XYZ. 

Part B: Because triangle XYZ was dilated with a scale factor of 2 to create triangle ABC, just multiply the sides by 2 to get the sides AC and CB, which is AB = 2 times XY and CB = 2 times XZ. 

2. We can first find the hypothenuse by adding squaring 8 and 6 to have 100. Then square root it to have 10 as our hypothenuse

Now we can use sin x = 6/10 and cos y = 6/10

3. Since this is using the angle of elevation, we can say that the length of side AB is perpendicular from the perspective of angle of elevation, and the hypotenuse's length is known, so in this case, we can use a sine or cosecant ratio. 

Sin(40 Degrees) = AB/100

AB = 100 x sin(40 Degrees) ft

AB ~ 64.28 ft which can be rounded to 64 ft

The triangle I drew was a right triangle with points A, B, and C. 40 is on point C while 100 ft was on the hypotenuse. The kite was near A and the ground was between segment B and C.

4. Since the angle and Adjacent line is given and it is asking us to find H which is the opposite, we well try and be using Tangent = opposite/adjacent 

500 ft Multiply by tan39 = 405 (Estimated after rounding to nearest hundreth 404.892).

To be honest, I didn't know so much about these questions but this might give a better understanding and if I'm wrong then I apologize.

What is the solution to the equation below log5(2x-3)=2
Komok [63]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the exponential form of this log equation. Rewriting this into exponential form gives us

5^2=2x-3

5-squared is 25, so

25 = 2x - 3 and

22 = 2x so

x = 11
