Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

velocity of turtle = 5 feet / min

velocity of snail = - 11 feet /  min

By using the formula of relative velcoity

the velocity of turtle with respect to snail is

V' = velocity of turtle - velocity of snail

V' = 5 - (- 11)

V' = 16 feet / min

Help! Find the coordinates of P so that P partitions the segment AB in the ratio 6:2 if A(−4,12) and B(9,−4).
LekaFEV [45]

(5.75,0)

Let A be (x1,y1) , B be (x2,y2) , P be (x,y) and the ratio be m:n

Formula is,

x=(x2*m+x1*n)/(m+n)

y=(y2*m+y1*n)/(m+n)

Maggie bought 3/4 of a pound of bananas and 4 boxes of cereal for $10.11. If each box of cereal cost $2.40, what was the price o
beks73 [17]
If you had 4 boxes of cereal and each costs $2.40, the total cost would be $9.60 (2.40×4).

The total cost of the bananas and the cereal cost $10.11. To find how much the 3/4 of bananas cost, simply subtract $9.60 away from $10.11 (10.11-9.6), which gives you $0.51.

The question asks for 1 pound of bananas but you only have the cost of 3/4. So, divide your cost by 3 to give you the cost of 1/4. (0.51÷3), which gives you $0.17.

The last step is to multiply this answer by 4 because 4/4 will result in a whole, or in this case, one pound (0.17×4) and thus gives you the cost $0.68 for one pound of bananas.

(please correct me if I'm wrong, hope this helped c: )

Nathan spins 2 different spinners at the same time. There are a total of 10 possible
kow [346]

Answer:

Since the spinners have been spun simultaneously, every side on each of the spinner carries equal probability of landing. In order for there to be only 10 possible outcomes, no more no less, the spinners cannot be identical. One of the spinner in two sided while the other spinner must then be a five sided spinner. Choosing this particular pair of spinners gives Nathan 10 possibilities of combinations.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!

A piece of rubber tubing maintains a cylindrical shape as it is stretched. At the instant that the inner radius of the tube is 2
professor190 [17]

Answer:

the rate of change in volume is dV/dt = 4π mm³/s = 12.56 mm³/s

Step-by-step explanation:

since the volume V of a cylinder is related with the height H and the radius R through:

V = πR²*H

then the change in time is given by the derivative with respect to time t

dV/dt = (∂V/∂R)*(dR/dt) + (∂V/∂H)*(dH/dt)

the change in volume with radius at constant height is

(∂V/∂R) = 2*πR*H

the change in volume with height at constant radius is

(∂V/∂H) = πR²

then

dV/dt = 2π*R*H *(dR/dt) + πR²*(dH/dt)

replacing values

dV/dt = 2π* 2 mm * 20 mm  * (-0.1 mm/s) + π (2 mm) ²* 3 mm/s = 4π mm³/s

dV/dt = 4π mm³/s = 12.56 mm³/s

Which multiplication equation can be used to explain the solution to 15 divided by 1/3
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:Multiply by the reciprocal, also sometimes referred to as "Keep, Change, Flip." Here is how it works. You rewrite the division question as a multiplication question by flipping the second fraction over. Next, keep the first number, change the division to multiplication and then flip the second fraction over.
