In 1 minute, it would travel 60/100 miles since if it covers 3/100 mile in 3 seconds, it implies that traveling 1/100 mile takes one second and hence a minute (60 seconds) equates to 60/100 of a mile.

The answer is 0.6 mile. Step-by-step explanation: Given the distance covered in 3 seconds is $\frac{3}{100}$ miles, we need to ascertain the distance it can cover in a minute. Since it can travel $\frac{3}{100}$ miles in 3 seconds, in 1 second it covers $\frac{3}{100\times3} =\frac{1}{100}$ miles. Consequently, over 60 seconds (1 minute), the distance traveled is calculated as mile. Thus, it will reach 0.6 mile in one minute.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The task is to evaluate:

0.1m + 8 - 12n

When $m=30, n=\frac{1}{4}$

By substituting these values into the expression, we have:

$0.1m+8-12n=0.1(30)+8-12(\frac{1}{4})\\=3+8-\frac{12}{4}\\=3+8-3\\=8$

Question 1: (2.2, -1.4). Question 2: (1.33, 1). Providing a detailed analysis, the equations for the given lines are specified as (1) passing through points (0, 2.5) and (2.2, 1.4), and (2) through (0, -3) and (2.2, -1.4). We are tasked with locating a common solution or intersection of these equations. This leads to finding x = 2.2, and consequently y = -1.4. Therefore, the solution set is (2.2, -1.4). For question 2, the equations yield a solution of (1.33, 1).

On her birthday, Sonia distributed chocolates in an orphanage. She gave 5 chocolates to each child and 20 chocolates to adults.

Svet_ta [12734]

Answer with explanation:

Total number of children = x

Total chocolates shared = y

In total, the chocolates distributed to the children equals 5 times the number of children, or 5 x.

Chocolates received by adults equal 20.

Let the number of adults be z.

Expressing this situation as an equation:

y = 5 x + 20 z

$z=\frac{y-5 x}{20}$

⇒Number of adults = z

$=\frac{y-5 x}{20}$
