Starting from the first floor, a lift stops at floors 3, 4,3, 2, 3, and 4 before returning to the first floor. When two consecutive floors are the same, it means that the elevator stayed on the same floor on that segment of the trip. If the distance between the first and sixth floors is 17 m, what is the total distance, d (in m), travelled by the lift? Just enter the number below, correct to one decimal place, without the units. Type your answer.

A car is traveling down a highway at a constant speed, described by the equation d=60t, where d represents the distance, in miles, that the car travels at this speed in t hours. What is the constant of proportionality?
To get to his office from home, Greg walks 5 blocks north and then 2 blocks east. After work he meets some friends at a cafe; to get there he walks 3 blocks south and 6 blocks west. All blocks are 660 feet long. What is the straight-line distance from the cafe to his home? Express your answer in feet.
Paleontologists use the function W(x) = 4√/2x to estimate the walking speed of a dinosaur, W(x), in feet per second, where x is the length, in feet, of the dinosaur's leg. What is the walking speed of a dinosaur whose leg length is 6 feet? Express the answer in simplified radical form. Then use the function's graph to estimate the answer to the nearest foot per second. Walking speed (feet per second) feet per second. (Round to the nearest whole number as needed.) Dinosaur Walking Speeds W(x) = 4√2x Write the walking speed of a dinosaur whose leg length is 6 feet as a simplified radical. feet per second. (Simplify your answer. Type an exact answer, using radicals as needed.) Use the graph to estimate the walking speed of a dinosaur whose leg length is 6 feet. Leg length (feet) [0.25,1] by [0,30,2] Q Q
What is the speed of a car going v=1.000 mph in SI units? Notice that you will need to change miles to meters and from hours to seconds. you can do each conversion separately. Use the facts that 1 mile=1609 m and 1 hour= 3600s
Two boats leave a dock at the same time. One boat travels south at 36 mi/hr and the other travels east at 48 mi/hr. After half an hour, how fast is the distance between the boats increasing? Let x be the distance the eastbound boat has traveled, y be the distance the southbound boat has traveled, and z be the distance between the boats. Write an equation that relates x, y, and z
A car goes from point A to point B. The speed of the car is constant at 88 km/hr for 65% of the total distance. At that point the weather gets bad and the car covers the remaining distance at 48 km/hr. If the total time of travel from A to B was 3.8 hours, what is the distance between the two points? Write your answer in km.
A large tank is filled to capacity with 300 gallons of pure water. Brine containing 4 pounds of salt per gallon is pumped into the tank at a rate of 3 gal/min.

A(t) = 30t0.3t² lb X How long (in minutes) will it take for the tank to be empty after this process has started? 100 min
Caleb left home and traveled toward the city A at an average speed of 61.3 km/h. Some time later, Kim left traveling in the opposite direction with an average speed of 47.4 km/h. After Caleb has traveled for 1.36 hours they were 147 km apart. Find the number of minutes Kim traveled. Round off only on the final answer expressed in three decimal places.
