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.

Anna is reading a 300-page book. She can read a page in two minutes. If she has finished reading 75 percent of the pages, how ma
Daniel [21]

Answer:

150 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

If Anna read 75% of her 300-page book, then she has already read:

300 × 75%

= 300×0.75

= 225

225 pages.

If Anna has already read 225 pages, then she has:

300 - 225 = 75

75 pages left still to read.

If Anna reads 2 minutes per page, then she has

75 × 2 = 150 minutes.

She has 150 minutes of reading left to finish her book.

By the way, it's weird to say you have 150 minutes of something to do. In real life 150 minutes = 2 1/2 hours. jfyi. Have a great day!

If you shift the linear parent function, f(x) = x, down 6 units, what is the equation of the new function?
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

f(x)=x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Parent function : f(x)=x

To Find : If you shift the linear parent function, f(x) = x, down 6 units, what is the equation of the new function?

Solution:

Parent function : f(x)=x

Shift the given function down by 6 units.

Rule : The graph f(x) shifts down by b units

So, f(x)→f(x)-b

So, Shift the given function down by 6 units.

So, f(x)→f(x)-6

f(x)=x

So, x→x-6

So, the new function is f(x)=x-6
