We let k be the proportionality constant for the relationship between number of hours, h and speed of the walker, s. 

                        h = k/s
Substituting the known values,
                        12 = k/5
                          k = 60

For the second scenario,
                          h = k/s
Substituting the calculated value for k and the given value for speed,
                          h = (60)(3 miles/hour)
                         h = 20 hours
                         h = 20 hours

Therefore, it will take 20 hours to walk with a speed of 3 miles per hour.

Consider the following system of equations: 10 + y = 5x + x2 5x + y = 1 The first equation is an equation of a . The second equa
aleksley [76]

Answer: The first equation is an equation of a parabola. The second equation is an equation of a line.

Explanation:

The first equation is,

10+y=5x+x^2

In this equation the degree of y is 1 and the degree of x is 2. The degree of both variables are not same. Since the coefficients of y and higher degree of x is positive, therefore it is a graph of an upward parabola.

The second equation is,

5x+y=1

In this equation the degree of x is 1 and the degree of y is 1. The degree of both variables are same. Since both variables have same degree which is 1, therefore it is linear equation and it forms a line.

Therefore, the first equation is an equation of a parabola. The second equation is an equation of a line.

miss Akunina [59]

\bf \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{a\% of b}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ \left( \cfrac{a}{100} \right)\cdot b \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}~\hspace{5em}\stackrel{\textit{65\% of 20}}{\left( \cfrac{65}{100}\right)20}\implies 13


so, 13 of the 20 tables have 6 chairs each.

that means, the remaining 7 tables, have 4 chairs each.

13 * 6 = 78 chairs total for those 13 tables.

7 * 4 = 28 chairs total for the remaining 7 tables.

78 + 28, that's how many.

Find the length of the median of a trapezoid if the length
guapka [62]

Answer:

20 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a trapezoid, where the length of shorter base or on of the parllel line is 16 cm and the length of other parallel side is 24 cm.

Let the two parallel sides be x and y that is x = 16 cm and y = 24 cm.

A median of a trapezoid is a line segment that divides the non parallel sides of a trapezoid equally or a line segment that passes through the mid points of non-parallel sides of a trapezoid.

The length of median of a trapezoid = \frac{\text{Sum of parallel sides}}{2} = \frac{16+24}{2} = 20 cm.

Thus, the length of median of trapezoid is 20 cm.

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

14 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

If 11 2/3 gallons represents 5/6 full bucket then we can equate that

x=1 full

x=\frac {11 2/3}{5/6}=14

Therefore, the bucket requires 14 gallons
