Recall that distance = speed times time. Thus, time = distance / speed.

Here:

time = distance / speed = 0.8 km / 12 km/hr = 1/15 hr.

Note that 1/15 hr = 1/15 (60 min) = 4 minutes

Answer: 4 minutes or about 0.067 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Chris can run at a constant speed of 12 km/h.

Distance traveled by him = 0.8 km

The formula we use here is $\text{Time}=\dfrac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}$

Therefore, the time taken by him to travel a distance of 0.8 km will be :-

$\text{Time}=\dfrac{0.8}{12}=\dfrac{1}{15}\text{ hour}\approx0.067\text{ hour}$

Also, 1 hour = 60 minutes

Then, $\dfrac{1}{15}\text{ hour}=\dfrac{1}{15}\times60=4\text{ minutes}$

Hence, it will take 4 minutes to run from his home to the park, a distance of 0.8 km.

Answer:

Remember that:

Speed = distance/time.

Then we can calculate the average speed in any segment,

Let's make a model where the average speed at t = t0 can be calculated as:

AS(t0) = (y(b) - y(a))/(b - a)

Where b is the next value of t0, and a is the previous value of t0. This is because t0 is the middle point in this segment.

Then:

if t0 = 100s

AS(100s) = (400ft - 0ft)/(200s - 0s) = 2ft/s

if t0 = 200s

AS(200s) = (1360ft - 50ft)/(300s - 100s) = 6.55 ft/s

if t0 = 300s

AS(300s) = (3200ft - 400ft)/(400s - 200s) = 14ft/s

if t0 = 400s

AS(400s) = (6250s - 1360s)/(500s - 300s) = 24.45 ft/s

So for the given options, t = 400s is the one where the velocity seems to be the biggest.

And this has a lot of sense, because while the distance between the values of time is constant (is always 100 seconds) we can see that the difference between consecutive values of y(t) is increasing.

Then we can conclude that the rocket is accelerating upwards, then as larger is the value of t, bigger will be the average velocity at that point.

Jennifer has a bag of chips that contains 2 red chips and 1 black chip. If she also has a fair die, what is the probability that

fredd [130]

<span> the probability that she rolls an odd number AND and pulls a red chip

so it is = Prob(odd no) * Prob(red chip)

Prob(odd no) for a fair die = 1/2

Prob(red chip) = red chip / total chip = 2/(2+1) = 2/3

so the ans is 1/2 * 2/3 = 1/3
