<span>The tortoise crawls the whole 1000 m at 0.2 m/s, therefore, you must divide the distance by the rate of travel to find the time it took to complete the race. This gives us a time of 5,000 seconds to crawl the thousand meters. The hare runs the first 200 meters at 2 m/s, meaning that takes 100 seconds. The last 800 meters divided by the speed of 3 m/s gives us a time of 266 seconds. These two numbers must be added to the hare's rest time, converted from 1.3 hours into seconds by multiplying that number by 60 (for minutes in an hour) then 60 again (for seconds in a minute). 1.3 hours is equal to 4680 seconds. Therefore, the whole race took the hare 5,046 seconds, making it slightly slower than the hare, who finished in 5,000 seconds flat.</span>
I don’t know if this is a joke or not but the answer is 6
Answer:
Simile and personification, explanations below!
Step-by-step explanation:
"Like the straw in her pink lemonade" = simile
A simile compares two things using like or as. In this case, the story compares the bending of the microphone to bending the straw in lemonade.
"Her voice an impostor" = personification
Personification describes a object with human-like qualities or characteristics. In this case, a voice can't actually be an impostor as it is not a living person.
Answer: 312 students purchased a ticket
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of raffle tickets sold to parents.
Let y represent the number of raffle tickets sold to students.
The school sold 371 tickets. This means that
x + y = 371
x = 371 - y
The parent tickets cost $6 each and the student tickets cost $1.50 each and the school raised a total of $822. This means that
6x + 1.5y = 822 - - - - - - - -1
Substituting x = 371 - y into equation 1, it becomes
6(371 - y) + 1.5y = 822
2226 - 6y + 1.5y = 822
- 6y + 1.5y = 822 - 2226
- 4.5y = - 1404
y = -1404/-4.5
y = 312
x = 371 - y
x = 371 - 312
x = 59
