Aswimmer swam 0.8 mi at 0.0321 mi per min in waters created by melted sea ice. what was his time?

0.0321 miles per minute, simply means, in 1 minute, it does 0.0321 miles.

Remark

He's very lucky to be alive.

Givens

distance = d = 0.8 miles

Rate = r   =       0.0321 mi per minute

Time = t = ??

Formula

d = r * t

Solve

0.8 = 0.0321 * t      Divide by 0.0321

0.8/0.0321 = t

t = 24.92 minutes  <<<< Answer

solution:

we have to construct

∠m nt ≅ ∠p qr

the steps to draw this construction are

step 1: use a compass to draw an arc from point q which intersects the side pq at point a and the side qr at point b.

step 2: draw a segment nt and use the same width of the compass to draw an arc from point n which intersects the segment nt at a point x.

step 3:

step 4: join points n and y using a straightedge.

step 3:

option (d).maintaining the same width of the compass as ab, draw an arc from point x such that it intersects the arc drawn from n in a point y.

to draw   congruent angles , 1. width of compasses while drawing two angles should be same i.e from point at which angle has to be drawn, 2.the distance between the two points where the compass intersects the two sides should be same while drawing any two congruent angles.
