Answer:

4.17 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed of light is about 670,616,629.4 miles per hour, so the travel time to Neptune is ...

(2,798,842,000 mi)/(670,616,629.4 mi/h) ≈ 4.17 h

It takes about 4.17 hours for light to travel from the sun to Neptune.

Nadiya determines that there are no fractions equivalent to 2/10 with a denominator greater than 10, but less than 20, that have

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Yes, Nadiya is correct. By multiplying the numerator and denominator by 2, the first fraction equivalent to 2/10 is 4/20.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find a fraction equivalent to 2/10, we need to multiply (or divide) the numerator and denominator by the same nonzero whole number.

As we need an equivalent fraction with a denominator greater than 10, we will need to multiply and not divide.

The first nonzero whole number we have is 1. If we multiply the numerator and denominator by 1, we get 2/10. Obviously, 2/10 is equivalent to 2/10 but the denominator is not greater than 10, so it doesn't help us.

The next whole number is 2. When we multiply the numerator and denominator by 2, we get 4/20. The denominator is not less than 20.

If we keep going, we will get 6/30, 8/40 and so on.

Therefore, Nadiya is correct.

The correct answer is the first one.

Consider the angle shown below with an initial ray pointing in the 3-o'clock direction that measures θ radians (where 0≤θ<2π)

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

hello attached below is the sketch of the missing diagram

a) h = 2

b) cos^-1 ( 2 ) = ∞

c ) θ ≈ 215°

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The length ( h ) to the right of the circles center

= h^2 = ( -1.15)^2 + ( -1.64)^2

∴ h = 2

b) cos^-1 ( 2 ) = ∞

c) The value gotten from b does not give us the value of θ

AB = - 1.64

BC = -1.15

AC = 2

sin^-1 ( - 1.64 / -1.15 )

cos^1 ( -1.15 / 2 ) gives us the value of θ

tan^-1 ( -1.64 / -1.15 )

∴ θ ≈ 215°

A study was done that looked at how much red meat people consumed and how long they lived. The correlation r was found to be 0.9

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the correlation r was found to be 0.98 (a value closer to 1).

Let X =how much red meat people consumed

let Y = how long they lived.

where the x-values are the values of the deviations of co-ordinates X from Xₙ, their mean value and the y-values are the values of the deviations of co-ordinates Y from Yₙ, their mean value.

That is, x=(X−Xₙ) and y=(Y−Yₙ).

The results of this determination give values of r lying between +1 and −1, where;

+1 indicates perfect direct correlation,

−1 indicates perfect inverse correlation and

0 indicates that no correlation exists.

Between these values, the smaller the value of r, the less is the amount of correlation which exists.

Generally, values of r in the ranges 0.7 to 1 and −0.7 to −1 show that a fair amount of correlation exists.

therefore, it can be seen that there is a perfect relationship between the quantity eaten and how long the person live

But, the correlation does not consider those that does not consume meat, and it is very hard to determined the answer to the question.

the answer is false because there are other reasons that determined longevity of life apart from meat consumption.
