Answer:

$10\frac{1}{2}$ inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a praying mantis at the right is 10.5 centimeters long. We are asked to represent the given length as a mixed number.

We know that a mixed number consists an integer and a fraction. We can represent our given number as:

$10.5\text{ cm}=10+0.5\text{ cm}$

$10.5\text{ cm}=10+0.5\times\frac{10}{10}\text{ cm}$

$10.5\text{ cm}=10+\frac{5}{10}\text{ cm}$

$10.5\text{ cm}=10+\frac{1}{2}\text{ cm}$

$10.5\text{ cm}=10\frac{1}{2}\text{ cm}$

Therefore, the mixed number $10\frac{1}{2}$ represents the given length.

arlik [135]

Answer:

0.875

Step-by-step explanation:

P(H=0) = 0.125

P(H=1) = 0.375

P(H=2) = 0.375

P(H=3) = 0.125

P(H<3) = P(H=0) + P(H=1) + P(H=2)

P(H<3) = 0.125 + 0.375 + 0.375

P(H<3) = 0.875

Determine whether or not the vector field is conservative. if it is conservative, find a function f such that f = ∇f. (if the ve

sweet [91]

A conservative vector field $\mathbf f$ has curl $\nabla\times\mathbf f=\mathbf0$ . In this case,

$\nabla\times\mathbf f=12xy^2z(1-z)\,\mathbf j+4yz^2(2z-3x)\,\mathbf k\neq\mathbf 0$

so the vector field is not conservative.

If speed varies inversely as the time it takes to drive and Kris takes 5 hours driving at 55 mph, what speed will Martin need to

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

<em>55mph . None of the options are correct </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

If the speed varies inversely as the time it takes to drive, then v ∝ 1/t. where;

v is the speed

t is the time taken

Hence;

v = k/t with k being the constant of proportionality.

Since it takes Kris 5 hours when driving at 55 mph, we will substitute v = 55mph and t = 5 hours. into the equation above to get the value of k as shown:

55 = k/5

Cross multiply

k = 55*5

k = 275

Hence, to calculate the speed it will Martin to drive for 5 hours, we will substitute k = 275 and t = 5 into the original equation v = k/t as shownl

v = 275/5

v = 55 mph

<em>Hence, we can conclude that Martin will also need to drive at a speed of 55mph if he wants to take 5hours.</em>

A rectangular prism must have a base with an area of no more than 27 square meters. The width of the base must be 9 meters less

den301095 [7]

Answer:

The maximum height of the prism is $12\ m$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the height of the prism

we know that

the area of the rectangular base of the prism is equal to

$A=L*W$

$A\leq 27\ m^{2}$

so

$L*W\leq 27$ -------> inequality A

$W=x-9$ ------> equation B

$L=W+6$ -----> equation C

Substitute equation B in equation C

$L=(x-9)+6$

$L=x-3$ ------> equation D

Substitute equation B and equation D in the inequality A

$(x-3)*(x-9)\leq 27$ -------> using a graphing tool to solve the inequality

The solution for x is the interval----------> $[0,12]$

see the attached figure

but remember that

The width of the base must be $9$ meters less than the height of the prism

so

the solution for x is the interval ------> $(9,12]$

The maximum height of the prism is $12\ m$
