2 1/2 miles is equal to 1/6 of an hour.
To find the equivalent, multiply 2 1/2 miles by 6, yielding 1/6 hours multiplied by 6.
This results in 12 1/2 miles which corresponds to 6/6 hours.
Ultimately, 12 1/2 miles can be simplified to 1 hour.
Thus, the rate is 12 1/2 miles per hour.

zzz [12365]

Answer: 4\frac{5}{12}\ feet

Step-by-step solution:

Leon’s older brother’s height is 4\frac{3}{4} feet

=\frac{16+3}{4}=\frac{19}{4} feet

Because Leon is 1/3 foot shorter than his brother,

Leon’s height = \frac{19}{4}-\frac{1}{3}

Convert to like fractions by multiplying numerator and denominator: multiply 3 for the first fraction and 4 for the second.

So, Leon’s height = \frac{57}{12}-\frac{4}{12}

=\frac{57-4}{12}\\=\frac{53}{12}=4\frac{5}{12} feet

Therefore, Leon’s height is 4\frac{5}{12}\ feet feet.

Twelve of the 20 students in Mr. Skinner’s class brought lunch from home. Fourteen of the 21 students in Ms. Cho’s class brought
Svet_ta [12734]

Solution:

In Mr. Skinner's class, the count of students bringing lunch from home is 12 out of 20.

Fraction of students who brought lunch from home in Mr. Skinner's class=\frac{12}{20}=\frac{3}{5}

For Ms. Cho's class, the number who brought lunch from home is 14 out of 21.

Fraction of students who brought lunch from home in Ms. Cho's class=\frac{14}{21}=\frac{2}{3}

Siloni is utilizing two spinners with 15 equal sections to randomly select students from the classes and predict whether they brought lunch or will purchase it from the cafeteria.

Number of Equal sections in each Spinner=15

To visualize the students from Mr. Skinner's class who brought lunch using a Spinner with 15 equal sections =\frac{9}{15}

For Ms. Cho's class, using a Spinner with 15 equal sections =\frac{10}{15}

Mr. Skinner's Class +1 = Ms. Cho's Class

This means that the spinner for Ms. Cho's class will include one additional section representing students who brought lunch.

Option A signifies that one additional section on Mr. Skinner's spinner represents students who brought lunch, reflecting Ms. Cho's class.

Write 337,060 in expanded from using exponents
Leona [12618]

Answer:

We start with the number 337 060.

Expanded form refers to a way of representing a standard form number in more detail.

This number will be converted to expanded form utilizing exponents.

=> 337 060

To begin, let's break down each component.

=> 300 000 = 3 x 10^5

=> 30 000 = 3 x 10^4

=> 7 000 = 7 x 10^3

=> 60 = 6 x 10^1

=> 3 x 10^5 + 3 x 10^4 + 7 x 10^3 + 6 x 10^1 – this is the expanded form of the number using exponents.
