Answer:

22 4/5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

miles per gallon = total miles / total gallons used

$15\frac{1}{5}$ ÷ $\frac{2}{3}$

convert the mixed fraction to an improper fraction

$\frac{76}{5}$ × $\frac{3}{2}$ = $\frac{114}{5}$ = 22 4/5 miles

Cody wants to watch a movie that is 3 hours long he has watched 1/6 of the movie. How much time did Cody spend watching the movi

Anettt [7]

Answer:

3 hours is 60×3=180

1/6 of 180 =180÷ 6= 30

30 mins is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

if you want to find another position other than 1/6 like 4/6 then you can just times the answer in this case 30 by the amout u need in this case 4 so 4/6 would be 120 which is 2 hours

In the triangle pictured, let A, B, C be the angles at the three vertices, and let a,b,c be the sides opposite those angles. Acc

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Consider the following:

$A=\frac{\pi}{4}=45°\\\\B=\frac{\pi}{3}=60°$

Use sine rule,

$\frac{b}{a}=\frac{\sinB}{\sin A}
\\\\=\frac{\sin{\frac{\pi}{3}}
}{\sin{\frac{\pi}{4}}}\\\\=\frac{[\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}]}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}\\\\=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\times \frac{\sqrt{2}}{1}=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}$

Again consider,

$\frac{b}{a}=\frac{\sin{B}}{\sin{A}}
\\\\\sin{B}=\frac{b}{a}\times \sin{A}\\\\\sin{B}=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}\sin {A}\\\\B=\sin^{-1}[\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}\sin{A}]$

Thus, the angle B is function of A is, $B=\sin^{-1}[\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}\sin{A}]$

Now find $\frac{dB}{dA}$

Differentiate implicitly the function $\sin{B}=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}\sin{A}$ with respect to A to get,

$\cos {B}.\frac{dB}{dA}=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}\cos A\\\\\frac{dB}{dA}=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}.\frac{\cos A}{\cos B}$

When $A=\frac{\pi}{4},B=\frac{\pi}{3}$ , the value of $\frac{dB}{dA}$ is,

$\frac{dB}{dA}=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}.\frac{\cos {\frac{\pi}{4}}}{\cos {\frac{\pi}{3}}}\\\\=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}.\frac{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}{\frac{1}{2}}\\\\=\sqrt{3}$

In general, the linear approximation at x= a is,

$f(x)=f'(x).(x-a)+f(a)$

Here the function $f(A)=B=\sin^{-1}[\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}\sin{A}]$

At $A=\frac{\pi}{4}$

$f(\frac{\pi}{4})=B=\sin^{-1}[\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}\sin{\frac{\pi}{4}}]\\\\=\sin^{-1}[\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}.\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}]\\\\\=\sin^{-1}(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2})\\\\=\frac{\pi}{3}$
