Daniel stands on one side of a stream that is 400 feet wide. He wants to reach his campsite that is 1600 feet downstream on the

opposite side. He decides he will swim to the boat ramp on the opposite side, which is part way downstream toward the campsite, then jog the rest of the way. The angle formed by Daniel’s swim path and the shore at the boat ramp is 53 degrees.
2. Daniel can swim at an average rate of 150 feet per minute. How many minutes does it take him to swim to the boat ramp? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
answer: 3.34 minutes
3. How far is the boat ramp from the campsite? Round your answer to the nearest
answer: 1,237.28 feet
4. Daniel can jog at 4 miles per hour. How many minutes does it take him to jog from the boat ramp to the campsite? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
answer: 3.52 minutes
5. Daniel arrives at his campsite out of breath from his swim and jog. His sister tells him that he should have swum to the boat ramp that is only 200 feet from the campsite and then jogged. She claims that he would have arrived quicker this way.
Is Daniel’s sister correct? Support your answer mathematically.

The time that will be taken for Daniel to swim to the boat ramp will be 3.34 minutes.

<h3>How to calculate time taken</h3>

Let the distance be x.

Based on the information given, the calculation will be:

Sin 53° = 400/x

0.7986 = 400/x

x = 500 feet

Time = Distance / Speed

Time = 500/150 = 3.33 minutes.

The distance of the boat ramp from the campsite will be:

Cos53° = y/500

0.60 = y/500

y = 300 feet.

Distance will be:

= 1600 - 300 = 1300 feet

The minutes that it takes him to jog from the boat ramp to the campsite will be:

Distance = 1300 feet

Rate = 4 miles per hour = 352 feet per minutes

Time = Distance / Rate

Time = 1300/352 = 3.69 minutes

The total time taken will be:

= 3.33 + 3.69

= 7.02 minutes

What is the x-intercept of y=1/3x-5​
Ronch [10]

Answer:

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x-intercept(s), substitute in  0  for  y  and solve for x.

0 = 1/3 x − 5

Solve the equation.

x  =  15

This is so it makes more sense for u

Is 81/4 considered a rational number
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational number is a number that can be expressed as a fraction p/q where p and q are integers and q!=0. A rational number p/q is said to have numerator p and denominator q. Numbers that are not rational are called irrational numbers. The real line consists of the union of the rational and irrational numbers. The set of rational numbers is of measure zero on the real line, so it is "small" compared to the irrationals and the continuum.

The set of all rational numbers is referred to as the "rationals," and forms a field that is denoted Q. Here, the symbol  Q derives from the German word Quotient, which can be translated as "ratio," and first appeared in Bourbaki's Algèbre (reprinted as Bourbaki 1998, p. 671).

Any rational number is trivially also an algebraic number.

Examples of rational numbers include -7, 0, 1, 1/2, 22/7, 12345/67, and so on. Farey sequences provide a way of systematically enumerating all rational numbers.

The set of rational numbers is denoted Rationals in the Wolfram Language, and a number  x can be tested to see if it is rational using the command Element[x, Rationals].

The elementary algebraic operations for combining rational numbers are exactly the same as for combining fractions.

It is always possible to find another rational number between any two members of the set of rationals. Therefore, rather counterintuitively, the rational numbers are a continuous set, but at the same time countable.
