Let D be the total length of the race, and T the time it takes for the tortoise to finish it. Then

D = (0.15 m/s) T

Let t be the time after the start of the race when the hare decides to take a nap. In this time, the tortoise travels a distance

(0.15 m/s) t

and the hare travels

25 (0.15 m/s) t = (3.75 m/s) t

For the next 5.0 min = 300 s, the tortoise keeps moving and covers a distance of

(0.15 m/s) (300 s) = 45 m

while the hare covers no distance.

After these 300 seconds, the remaining time for the tortoise to complete the race is (T - t - 300 s). In this same time, the hare loses the race by 35 cm = 0.35 m, so overall it has covered a total distance of

(3.75 m/s) t + 0 (300 s) + (3.75 m/s) (T - t - 300 s) = D - 0.35 m

Solve for T :

(3.75 m/s) t + 0 + (3.75 m/s) T - (3.75 m/s) t - 1125 m = D - 0.35 m

(3.75  m/s) T - 1125 m = D - 0.35 m

(3.75 m/s) T - 1125 m = (0.15 m/s) T - 0.35 m

(3.60 m/s) T = 1124.65 m

T = 312.403 s

(b) So, the race takes about 312 seconds, or 5.21 minutes.

(a) It also follows that the race has a total length of

D = (0.15 m/s) (312.403 s) ≈ 46.9 m

Stells [14]

The statement which is true about Phyllis' predicament is that: C. Phyllis may request a hearing to appeal the summary revocation.

<h3>What is a license?</h3>

A license is also referred to as a certificate and it can be defined as an authorization that is typically issued by state governments to an agent, broker or real estate salesperson, so as to avail him or her the legal ability to physically and virtually represent either a home seller or buyer, especially during the process of buying or selling a real estate property.

Furthermore, a real estate is constitutionally enabled by law to revoke the licenses of a fraudulent or erring agent, broker or real estate salesperson.

However, we can infer and logically deduce the statement which is true about Phyllis' predicament is that he can request a hearing to appeal the summary revocation.

UkoKoshka [18]

The number of seats in the stadium that were filled for the game is equal to 49,406 seats.

  • Let the filled seats be F.
  • Let the empty seats be E.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Stadium capacity = 70,580.
  • Ratio of F to E = 7:3
  • Total ratio= 7 + 3 = 10

To determine the number of seats in the stadium that were filled for the game:

Mathematically, the number of filled seats in the stadium is given by this expression:

F = \frac{7}{10} \times 70580\\\\F=0.7 \times 70580

F = 49,406 seats.
