Answer: 33.56 miles per hour. Step-by-step explanation: First, we calculate how many meters the hummingbird can cover in one hour (in meters). It can travel up to 15 meters per second, and one hour equals 3600 seconds (since an hour has 60 minutes, each with 60 seconds, for a total of 60 x 60 = 3600). Thus, in one hour, the hummingbird travels 3600 x 15 = 54,000 meters. Now, given that 1 mile equals 1609 meters, we will convert 54,000 meters into miles per hour using a proportion: 1 mile is to 1609 meters as x miles is to 54,000 meters. Solving for x gives us x = 54,000 / 1,609 = 33.56 miles. Therefore, the speed of the hummingbird is 33.56 miles per hour.

A school principal utilized a bar chart to present his report, where he allocated the horizontal axis for the names of the students and the vertical axis for their grades. In this setup, the x-axis represents the names of the students, while the y-axis shows their respective grades. To convey complete data, there should be multiple bars for each student, as one single bar wouldn't provide thorough information.

a pet store owner set the price of a bag of cat food at 50% above the cost. when it did not sell, the price was reduced 20% to 1

babunello [11817]

Answer:

The original cost amounts to $10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us denote the cost as x

where Price = x + (0.5x) = 1.50x

Now, the price after reduction is 20% of 1.50x

which is 0.3x $\frac{20}{100}$

This leads to the equation 1.50x - 0.3x = 12

resulting in 1.2x = 12

which gives us x = 10

$\frac{12}{1.2}$ thus, the cost is $10

Brenda is cooking couscous. The recipe says she requires 480 grams of couscous for 4 people. How many will she need for 14?

AnnZ [12381]

1,680 grams

To determine this, we can set up a proportion as follows:

grams/people=grams/people

The recipe requires 480 grams for 4 individuals and we need to find how many grams (x) are necessary for 14 individuals.

480 grams/4 people=x grams/14

480/4=x/14

Now, let's isolate x, the grams necessary for 14 people. Currently, x is divided by 14, so we will multiply both sides by 14 as multiplication is the inverse of division.

14(480/4)=(x/14)14

14(480/4)=x

14*120=x

1680=x

Thus, she requires 1,680 grams of couscous to serve 14 individuals.
