A radar is designed to report the track of an aircraft every second. If this
radar reports 30 tracks in one minute, what percentage of the time did
the radar track the aircraft?
The radar reports 30 tracks in one minute, and it reports every second.
To calculate the percentage of time the radar tracked the aircraft, we'll
determine the number of seconds it tracked the aircraft and then convert
that to a percentage.
To find the tracks reported per second, divide the tracks in one minute
by 60 (the number of seconds in a minute):
so 30/60= 0.50= 50%
Jerry walked a dog from 6:40 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. one day. If he was paid
at the rate of $6 per hour, how much did he earn that day?
To calculate how much Jerry earned, we need to determine how many
hours he worked. He walked the dog from 6:40 a.m. to 7:30 a.m., which
is a total of 50 minutes. To convert this to hours, we divide 50 minutes
by 60: 50/60 = 0.83 hours. Now, we multiply the number of hours Jerry
worked by his hourly rate of $6: 0.83 * 6 = $5.00. Therefore, Jerry
earned $5.00 that day.
A woman is looking for a bigger square office. She finds an office twice
the area of her current office. If the perimeter of her current office is 88
feet, how many square feet is the new office?
Her current office is square and has a perimeter of 88 ft so its sides each
measure 88/4 = 22 ft. It follows that the area of her current office = (22
ft)^2 = 484 sq. ft. Thus the area of the new office = 484 x 2 = 968 sq. ft.
