john swims 5/12 of a mile in 3/8 of an hour. What distance, in miles, does john swims in an hour?

A.) 1 5/9
B.)15/96
C.)5/20
D.)1 5/12​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1 1/9 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

If john swims 5/12 of a mile in 3/8 of an hour, then;

5/12 miles = 3/8 hours

TO get the number of miles he swims in an hour, we will say;

x miles = 1 hour

Equating both expressions

5/12 miles = 3/8 hours

x miles = 1 hour

Cross multiply

3/8 x = 5/12

3x/8 = 5/12

3x * 12 = 5 * 8

36x = 40

x = 40/36

x = 10/9

x = 1 1/9

The amount he swims in an hour is 1 1/9 miles

A plane can travel 5000 kilometers
in 6 hours. How far can it travel in
1.5 hours?

Answers

Answer:

1250 Kilometers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by finding the proper ratio of 5000:6. Now divide 6/1.5 to see what we need to divide 5000 by. 6/1.5 is 4. So divide 5000 by 4. This gives you an answer of 1250 kilometers.

Answer:

[tex]1250km[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how far the plane can travel in [tex]1.5[/tex] hours, we need to first find the speed of the plane.

It is given that the plane can travel [tex]5000[/tex] kilometers in 6 hours, so the following equation can be written:

[tex]s = 5000km/6hours[/tex] ([tex]s[/tex] refers to the speed of the plane)

[tex]= 833\frac{1}{3}km/hour[/tex]

To find how far the plane travels in [tex]1.5[/tex] hours, we can multiply the distance it travels in 1 hour to [tex]1.5[/tex] hours:

Distance travelled [tex]= 833\frac{1}{3}\times 1.5[/tex]

[tex]=1250km[/tex]

Jasmine and Scott want to chart their reading rates to see how much they improve each quarter. Below are the results of their first quarter tests. Write their results as unit rates. Jasmine can read 120 words per minute. 2. It takes Scott one minute to read 130 words.

Answers

Answer:

a) 120 words per minute

b) 130 words per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

A unit rate (also called a single-unit rate) is a type of ratio that compares 1 unit of one quantity to a different number of units of a another different quantity. When expressing in unit rate, the second quantity is in one unit.

a) Jasmine can read 120 words per minute

Jasmine reading unit rate = total number of words read / time taken

Jasmine reading unit rate = 120 words / 1 minute = 120 words per minute

b) It takes Scott one minute to read 130 words

Scott reading unit rate = total number of words read / time taken

Scott reading unit rate = 130 words / 1 minute = 130 words per minute

A theater has group prices for tickets. The first ticket will cost $10 while each additional ticket costs $8. Which rule models the situation?
a. an= 10 + 8 (n - 1)
b. an-1= 10 + 8 (n - 1)
c. an= 18 (n - 1)
d. an-1= 18 (n - 1)

Answers

Answer:  Choice A.

an = 10 + 8(n - 1)

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

Explanation:

a1 = 10 is the first term

The common difference is d = 8 since we add 8 to each previous price to get the next price.

We have the arithmetic sequence with nth term of

an = a1 + d*(n-1)

an = 10 + 8(n - 1)

If you wanted, you could simplify that to get

an = 10 + 8n - 8

an = 8n + 2

Find DE
13x-37
2x+13

Answers

Answer:

DE = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

From the picture attached,

Points D and E are the midpoints of the segments AC and BC and DE is the mid-segment joining these points.

By the mid-segment theorem,

A segment joining midpoints of the two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side. length of mid-segment is half of the 3rd side in measure.

DC = [tex]\frac{1}{2}\text{AB}[/tex]

(2x + 13) = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(13x-37)[/tex]

2(2x + 13) = (13x - 37)

4x + 26 = 13x - 37

13x - 4x = 26 + 37

9x = 63

x = 7

DE = 2x + 13

     = 2(7) + 13

     = 14 + 13

     = 27

» Which pair of numbers has an LCM of 60?
2 and 12
5 and 12
6 and 12
3 and 12

Answers

Answer: 5 and 12

Step-by-step explanation:

2 and 12 is not it   because 12 can be divided by 2 meaning that the LCM of those two numbers will be 12.

6 and 12 is not it because  12 can also be divided  by 6 meaning that the LCM of 6 and 12 is also 12.

3 and 12 is also the same,  12  can be divided by 3 so their LCM will be 12.

With 5 and 12, 12 is not divisible by 5 so  you will have to find the multiples of 5 and 12 and it will eventually be 60.

Multiples of 5:  5, 10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55,60,65

Multiples of 12:  12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72  

As it appears in both multiples, 60 is the least number that appears in both multiples so the LCM of 5 and 12 is 60.

In 25 minutes Jezebel can run 10 laps around the track. Part I) Determine the unit rate for the number of laps she can run per minute. Part II) Find the constant of proportionality for this situation.

Answers

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Determine the unit rate for the number of laps she can run per minute.

This will be calculated as the number of minutes used divided by the number of laps which will be:

= 25 / 10

= 2.5 minutes per lap.

b. Find the constant of proportionality for this situation.

We will use the formula y = kx

where y = 25, x = 10, k = constant of proportionality.

Therefore, y = kx

25 = 10k

k = 25/10

k = 2.5

The constant of proportionality is 2.5
