A cyclist averages 18.5 miles per hour. how many minutes will it take for him to complete a 125 kilometer race?

1 answer:

6 0

step 1
convert miles to km
1 mile is-----> 1.60934 km
18.5 miles/hour-----> 18.5*1.60934=29.77 km/hour

step 2
convert km/hour to km/minutes
29.77 km/hour--------> 29.77/60----> 0.4962 km/minutes

step 3
by proportion
0.4962 km/1 minutes=125 km/x minutes
0.4962 km----------> 1 minute
125 km-------------> x

x=125/0.4962----> x=251.91 minutes---------> x=251.9 minutes

the answer is
251.9 minutes

Alternative Method

step 1
convert km to miles
1 km is-----> 0.621371 miles
125 km-----> 125*0.621371--->77.67 miles

step 2
convert miles/hour to miles/minutes
18.5 km/hour--------> 18.5/60----> 0.3083 miles/minutes

step 3
by proportion
0.3083 miles/1 minutes=77.67 miles/x minutes
0.3083 miles----------> 1 minute
77.67 miles-------------> x

x=77.67/0.3083----> x=251.9 minutes

Evaluate the expression. 6 to the third power + 5( 8 + 15)

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

5083

Step-by-step explanation:

6^3 + 5(8 + 15)

Simplify the bracket first

6 x 6 x 6 + 5 (23)

216 + 5 (23)

221 (23)

221 x 23 = 5083

Can i please get help with this

geniusboy [140]

Step-by-step explanation:

Intersecting secant angles theorem: The angle between two secants is half the difference of the intersected arcs.

52 = ½ (x − 38)

x = 142

Arc angles add up to 360.

360 = 80 + 38 + z + x

z = 100

Tangent-chord theorem: The angle between a tangent and a chord is half the intercepted arc angle.

y = x/2

y = 71

Which are the better statistics to use to compare the penguin heights?

frozen [14]

Answer:

The correct options are A and B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Penguin Heights at City view Zoo (in cm) is:

S = {35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45}

Compute the mean and median of the data:

$\text{Mean}=\frac{1}{n}\sum X\\\\=\frac{1}{11}\times [35+36+37+38+39+40+41+42+43+44+45]\\\\=40$

$\text{Median}=[\frac{n+1}{2}]^{th}obs.\\\\=[\frac{11+1}{2}]^{th}obs.\\\\=6^{th}obs.\\\\=40$

The mean and median are same.

Tis implies that the height of penguins are normally distributed.

So, either the mean or median could be the best measure of center.

Standard deviation is one of the measure of dispersion or spread of a dataset from the average value of the dataset. The standard deviation measures the absolute variability of the distribution of values.

The higher the spread or variability in the data set, the greater is the standard deviation value and thus greater will be the magnitude of the deviance of the value from their average.

Thus, the correct options are A and B.
