Answer: The required sprinter's unit rate is 31 feet per second.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that a sprinter can run 279 feet in 9 seconds.

We are to find the sprinter's unit rate of feet per second.

We will be using the UNITARY method to solve the given problem.

According to the given information, we have

In 9 second, distance run by the sprinter = 279 feet.

Therefore, in 1 second, the distance run by sprinter will be

$\dfrac{279}{9}=31~\textup{feet per second}.$

Thus, the required sprinter's unit rate is 31 feet per second.

279ft/9sec = xft/1sec
Cross multiply to get
9x = 279 divide by 9
x = 31
31 feet per second

The difference between

i) <span>14k+2(3k+5)-5=10 and

ii) </span><span>14k+6k+10-5=10

is the equality </span>2(3k+5)=6k+10

The property used here, can be described for any numbers a, b and c as:

$a \cdot (b+c)=a \cdot b +a \cdot c$

To support a shelf, the diameter of a bolt can measure anywhere from 0.2 cm less than 1.5 cm to 0.2 cm greater than 1.5 cm. Whic

Deffense [45]

Find min
min is 1.5-0.2=1.3cm

max is 0.2+1.5=1.7cm

so it would be a graph from 1.3cm to 1.7cm
