Answer:

Part A. At least 6 hours

Part B. In less than 2.5 hours, Elijah will fall behind Mercedes

Part C. In over 2.5 hours, Elijah will lead Aubrey

Step-by-step explanation:

D = distance

v = speed

t = time

Formula connecting D, v, and t:

$D=v\cdot t$

Part A.

Steve's speed: $v=3.5\ mph$

Distance: a minimum of 21 miles

Time: unknown, so

$3.5\cdot t\ge 21\\ \\35t\ge 210\ [\text{Multiplied by 10}]\\ \\t\ge \dfrac{210}{35}\\ \\t\ge \dfrac{30}{5}\\ \\t\ge 6$

It would require Steve a minimum of 6 hours to traverse at least 21 miles on Day 1.

Part B.

Mercedes's speed: $v_M=2.4\ mph$

Elijah's speed: $v_E=3.2\ mph$

Elijah's Distance walked: $D_E$ miles

Mercedes's Distance walked: $D_M$ miles

Time: x hours

Mercedes is 2 miles ahead, therefore

$D_E=3.2x\\ \\D_M=2.4x+2$

Elijah will trail behind until

$D_E$

In 2.5 hours, Elijah will close the gap on Mercedes, and in less than 2.5 hours, Elijah will trail behind her.

Part C.

Aubrey's speed: $v_M=3\ mph$

Elijah's speed: $v_E=3.2\ mph$

Elijah's Distance walked: $D_E$ miles

Aubrey's Distance walked: $D_A$ miles

Time: x hours

At the beginning of Day 3, Elijah starts from Mile 42, while Aubrey begins at Mile 42.5.

$D_E=42+3.2x\\ \\D_A=42.5+3x$

Elijah will be ahead of Aubrey when

$D_E>D_A\\ \\42+3.2x> 42.5+3x\\ \\3.2x-3x>42.5-42\\ \\0.2x>0.5\\ \\2x>5\ [\text{Multiplied by 10}]\\ \\x>\dfrac{5}{2}\\ \\x>2.5\ hours$

In 2.5 hours, Elijah will surpass Aubrey, and after more than 2.5 hours, Elijah will outpace Aubrey.

Explain why the decimal moving strategy can be used with SI units but not with imperial units

Leona [12618]

Because SI units are structured around powers of 10, you can shift the decimal point to convert; imperial units lack that base-10 organization, so the decimal-shifting method doesn't apply.

Two parallel lines are crossed by a transversal. Parallel lines x and y are cut by transversal w. On line x where it intersects

AnnZ [12381]

Answer:

118.2°

Step-by-step explanation:

Dos líneas paralelas x e y son cortadas por la transversal w (ver el diagrama adjunto).

Se forman 8 ángulos (denominados 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 y 8).

Los ángulos 1 y 6 son ángulos del mismo lado cuando dos líneas paralelas x e y son cortadas por la transversal w.

Dos ángulos del mismo lado son suplementarios (suman 180°). Esto significa

$m\angle 1+m\angle 6=180^{\circ}$

Dado $m\angle 1=61.8^{\circ},$ por lo que

$m\angle 6=180^{\circ}-61.8^{\circ}=118.2^{\circ}$
