Two horses ran from the same place at the same time, one horse ran at a speed of 16 m/sec and the other ran at a speed of 18m/sec. how far apart would they be in 1 minute? in 5 minutes? in 8 minutes?

1 minute = 1080 - 960 = 120 m

5 minutes = 5400 - 4800 = 600 m

8 minutes = 8640 - 7680 = 960 m

Step-by-step explanation:

I think the easiest way is to just see how far they get at each time.  So I'm going to go one horse at a time.

16 m/s

1 minute = 60 seconds, every second is 16 meters so 16 m/s * 60 s = 960 m

5 minutes = 300 seconds so 16 m/s * 300 s = 4800 m

8 minutes = 480 seconds, 16 m/s * 480 s = 7680 m

I also want to point out that unites cancel out.  m/s * s is kinda like variables so the seconds being multiplied by m/s cancels witht eh seconds in the denominator.

Now the next horse

18 m/s

1 minute totals to 1080 m

5 minutes = 5400 m

8 minutes = 8640 m

Now we take the differences of each time

1 minute = 1080 - 960 = 120 m

5 minutes = 5400 - 4800 = 600 m

8 minutes = 8640 - 7680 = 960 m

Another way to do this is to take the difference of speed and then multiply that by the time.  so 18-16 = 2, then multiply each time by 2.  For me it just makes more intuitive sense the way I showed.  

complete the steps to find the area of the trapezoid.

area of rectangle = 256   square units

area of triangle 1 = 24  square units

area of triangle 2 = 16  square units

area of triangle 3 =   96 square units

area of trapezoid = 120  square units

step-by-step explanation:

describing distributions is one of the key skills you’ll need to earn a high score on the ap statistics exam. if you need proof of this, just flip through some past exam questions, which can be found at the collegeboard website. you’ll notice that the first free response question is almost always a question requiring you to look at a graph and describe it.
