dominique drove home from work at an average speed of 36 miles per hour. if the distance from her house to her workplace is 5.4 miles, how long did her commute take?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

Dominique's commute took 9 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Great question, it is always good to ask away and get rid of any doubts that you may be having.

Since we are given 3 values with 1 variable, and this is a ratio problem we can use the Rule of Three technique to calculate how long her commute will take. The technique is shown in the picture attached below, but before we can use this technique we need to change the hours into minutes.

1 hour = 60 minutes

Now we can use the technique...

36 miles ⇒ 60 minutes

5.4 miles ⇒ x

$(5.4*60)/(36) = 9minutes$

Finally, we can see that it to Dominique's commute took 9 minutes.

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.

Answer 2

Answer: Putting this into an equation would result:

5.4/x = 36

x = 5.4/36

x = .15 hour

.15 x 60 = 9 minutes

9 minutes is the answer

A store has apples on sale for $3.00 for 2 pounds. How many pounds of apples can you buy for $9? If an apple is approximately 5 ounces, how many apples can you buy for $9? Explain your reasoning.

Answers

we know that

A store has apples on sale for $ $3.00$ for $2$ pounds

Part a) How many pounds of apples can you buy for $ $9$ ?

by using proportion

$(3)/(2)(usd)/(pound) =(9)/(x) (usd)/(pound) \n \n 3x=9*2\n \n x=(18)/(3) \n \n x=6 pounds$

therefore

the answer Part a) is

$6 pounds$

Part b) If an apple is approximately $5$ ounces, how many apples can you buy for $ $9$ ?

we know that

$1 pound=16 ounces$

step 1

convert ounces to pounds

$1apple=(5)/(16)pounds$

by using proportion

$(1)/((5)/(16))\ (apples)/(pounds) =(x)/(6) (apples)/(pounds)\n \n x(5)/(16) =6\n \n x=(16*6)/(5) \n \n x=19.2 apples$

therefore

the answer part b) is

about $19 apples$

Since 2 pounds is $3 and you have $9, you would do:

$(3)/(2) = (9)/(x)$ , x= # of pounds of apples

You do cross multiplication to get:

$3x=18$

x=6

1 lb= 16 oz

So $6*16=96$ to get the number of ounces you can buy for $9.

Then divide 96 by 5, so that is ABOUT 19 APPLES.

Is 8yd greater or less than 288in

Answers

12 inches make 1 foot

3 feet make 1 yard.

1 yard = 3 feet = 3*12 = 36 inches.

1 yard = 36 inches.

8 yards = 8*36 = 288 inches.

8 yards is not greater or not less than 288 inches.

8 yards is equal to 288 inches.
