How fast the distance between them decrease is 16mph

<h3>How to calculate the speed of an object?</h3>

Given the following parameters

Speed of the hiker = 6mph

If is it 3/11 the rate of a cyclist, then the rate of the cyclist will be:

6 = 3x/11
3x = 66

x = 22mph

Distance between them  = 22 - 6

Distance between them = 16mph

Hence how fast the distance between them decreases is 16mph

glenn swims 2/3 miles on monday, 3/4mile on wednesday, and 5/6 miles on friday. What is the total of distance glenn swims on tho
Archy [21]

Answer:

She swam a total distance of 2  1/4 miles in those three days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, so- The first thing you need to do is make all denominators equal to make these fractions able to be added together. So, I made all denominators 12. (Tell me if you don't know how to make them all the same denominator, and I'll be happy to help!)

<u>2/3  =  8/12   </u>

<u>3/4  =  9/12 </u>

<u>5/6  =  10/12</u>

Then, I added the numerators together. Like this:

<u>8 + 9 + 10 = 27 </u>

So, this would be:

<u>27/12</u>

Lastly, I changed this improper fraction to a mixed number. I multiplied the denominator twice because it looked like it would be closest to 27 without going over.

<u>12 * 2 = 24 </u>

<em>The "2" will be the whole number in the mixed fraction.</em> Now, I'm going to subtract 24 from the numerator.  

<u>27 - 24 = 3 </u>

<u>2 3/12</u>

After simplified, the fraction will be:

2 1/4

Find a. Round to the nearest tenth.
Kazeer [188]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  21.8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

A useful way to write the Law of Sines relation when solving for side lengths is ...

  a/sin(A) = b/sin(B)

Then the solution for 'a' is found by multiplying by sin(A):

  a = sin(A)(b/sin(B)) = b·sin(A)/sin(B)

__

We need to know the angle A. Its value is ...

  A = 180° -75° -31.8° = 73.2°

Then the desired length is ...

  a = (22 cm)sin(73.2°)/sin(75°) ≈ (22 cm)(0.9573/0.9659)

  a ≈ 21.8 cm

_____

I like to use the longest side and largest angle in the equation when those are available. That is why I chose 75° and 22 cm.
