Answers:

  • A) r = d/t
  • B) 221,760 feet per hour
  • C) 42 miles per hour
  • D) Miles makes more sense

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

Work Shown:

Part A

d = r*t

d/t = r*t/t ...... dividing both sides by t

d/t = r

r = d/t

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

Part B

Plug in the distance d = 665,280 feet and the time t = 3 hours

You should get the following

r = d/t

r = (665,280 feet)/(3 hours)

r = 221,760 feet per hour

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

Part C

Divide by 5280 to convert from feet to miles.

This works because 5280 feet = 1 mile

665,280 ft = (665,280)/(5280) = 126 miles

The dolphin can swim 126 miles in 3 hours

r = d/t

r = (126 miles)/(3 hours)

r = 42 miles per hour

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

Part D

From my viewpoint, miles makes more sense because we have a smaller number which is easier to remember.

126 is smaller than 665,280

Also, 42 is much smaller than 221,760.

How many whole numbers greater than 0 and less than 100 are divisible by 2? ​
Bess [88]

Answer: 49

Step-by-step explanation:

If it's less than 100, that means that you can't use the number 100 in the answer. From 0 - 100 there are 50 even numbers (divisible by 2), so that means that there would be 50 - 1 even numbers between 0 and 100 (not including 100). 50 - 1 = 49

:D
