The correct answer is B. No one stood up for her

The song primarily addresses the racism prevalent in our nation. Dylan highlights that the murderer was not penalized initially; he was released on the night of the homicide due to his wealth, and during the trial, he received only a six-month term instead of a meaningful punishment. Hattie Carroll was largely overlooked in this scenario.

Explanation

This can be simplified as follows:

10 times a given quantity of _____ hundreds results in 60 hundreds
60 hundreds convert to _____ thousands

We will divide this into two segments:

$\boxed{ \ 10 \times (N \times 100) = 60 \times 100 \ }$ ... Equation-1

$\boxed{ \ 60 \times 100) = M \times 1,000 \ }$ ... Equation-2

This straightforward multiplication relates to the place value system. We need to perform calculations to find the values of N and M.

Initially, let's focus on Equation-1.

We will move the variable M to one side of the equation in order to isolate it and solve for its value.

$\boxed{ \ 10 \times (N \times 100) = 60 \times 100 \ }$

$\boxed{ \ 1,000 \times N = 6,000 \ }$

Both parts will be divided by 1,000, essentially being multiplied by $\frac{1}{1,000}$ .

$\boxed{ \ \frac{1}{1,000} \times 1,000 \times N = \frac{1}{1,000} \times 6,000 \ }$

Thus, we conclude with $\boxed{\boxed{ \ N = 6 \ }}$

Next, we process Equation-2 to derive M's value.

$\boxed{ \ 60 \times 100) = M \times 1,000 \ }$

$\boxed{ \ 6,000 = M \times 1,000 \ }$

Rearranging this equation to place M on the left side appears as follows:

$\boxed{ \ M \times 1,000 = 6,000 \ }$

Again, both sides undergo division by 1,000, which translates to multiplication by $\frac{1}{1,000}.$ .

$\boxed{ \ \frac{1}{1,000} \times M \times 1,000 = \frac{1}{1,000} \times 6,000 \ }$

This results in $\boxed{\boxed{ \ M = 6 \ }}$

- - - - - - -

Alternative approach for the second step:

60 hundreds equals to __ thousands

$\boxed{ \ 6 \times 10 \ hundreds = \ M \ thousands} \ }$

$\boxed{ \ 6 \times thousands = \ M \ thousands} \ }$

$\boxed{\boxed{ \ M = 6 \ }}$

Imagine that after washing 5 distinct pairs of socks, you discover that two socks are missing! of course, you would like to have

Zina [12379]

Part A:

Considering the best possible outcome

The ideal case occurs if the two missing socks are from the same pair.
Consequently, there are 4 complete pairs remaining.

To choose 2 from the total of 10 socks (5 pairs), the number of combinations is given by 10C2 = 45.

Choosing 2 that are from the same pair means selecting one from 5 pairs, so the count is 5C1 = 5.

Thus, the probability for this best case is 5 / 45 = 1 / 9.

Part B:

Considering the worst-case outcome

This scenario occurs when the two missing socks are from different pairs.
As a result, we have 3 complete pairs left.

The total ways to select 2 socks from 10, again, is 10C2 = 45.

To select 2 that do not belong to the same pair, we calculate as follows: 10C2 - 5C1 = 45 - 5 = 40.

Therefore, the probability for the worst-case scenario is 40 / 45 = 8 / 9.

It takes 45 minutes to drive to the nearest bowling alley taking city streets going

tester [12383]

21 minutes. Step-by-step explanation: Considering the following: Using CITY STREET: The duration to drive to the nearest bowling alley is 45 minutes, which is 0.75 hours. The travel speed is 30 miles per hour. Switching to FREEWAY: the travel speed here is 65 miles per hour. Assuming both routes cover the same distance, the time required on the FREEWAY will be as follows: The distance calculated using the city route results in 30 mph = distance / 0.75 hour, giving a distance of 22.5 miles. As the distance remains consistent: Time taken on the FREEWAY = distance / speed, which results in 22.5 / 65 = 0.3461538 hours. Converting to minutes = 0.3461538 × 60, which rounds to approximately 21 minutes.

A small plane flies 760,320 yards in 2 hours. Use the formula d = rt, where d represents distance, r represents rate, and t repr

tester [12383]

Answer:

Refer to the explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

We start with a small aircraft that flies 760,320 yards within a duration of 2 hours.

The formula for distance is:

$d=rt$

To isolate the rate r, we divide both sides by time:

$r=\frac{d}{t}$

To calculate the rate in yards per hour, divide the total yards by the hours taken. Therefore:

$r=\frac{\text{760320 yards}}{\text{2 hours}}$

Perform division:

$r=\text{380160 yd/hr}$

Thus, the aircraft speeds at 380,160 yards every hour.

There are 1,760 yards in a mile.

To compute the speed in miles per hour, we apply dimensional analysis.

We recognize the rate is 380,160 yards per hour:

$r=\frac{\text{380160 yards}}{\text{1 hour}}$

To cancel "yards" from the numerator, we multiply by 1 mi/1,760 yards. Therefore:

$r=\frac{\text{380160 yards}}{\text{1 hour}}\cdot \frac{\text{1 mi}}{\text{1760 yards}}$

This eliminates yards:

$r=\frac{\text{380160}}{\text{1 hour}}\cdot \frac{\text{1 mi}}{\text{1760}}$

Now, multiply the values across:

$r=\frac{\text{380160 mi}}{\text{1760 hour}}$

Then divide:

$r=\frac{\text{216 miles}}{\text{ hour}}$

The final rate for the plane is 216 miles per hour.

Miles are a more appropriate measurement in this context because the distance is substantial, making it impractical to express using yards. A rate of 380,160 yards per hour is excessive, whereas 216 miles per hour provides a clearer understanding.
