Answer: Third option.
Step-by-step explanation:
You know that the drawbridge rises at a rate of [tex]3\ \frac{2}{3}[/tex] feet per minute. This means that the drawbridge rises [tex]3\ \frac{2}{3}[/tex] in a minutes.
Convert from mixed fraction to decimal number:
[tex]3\ \frac{2}{3}\ ft=(3+0.66)\ ft=3.6\ ft[/tex]
Since the drawbridge rises to a height of 50 feet, you need to apply this procedure in order to find the time the drawbridge takes to completely rise:
[tex]time=\frac{(1\ min)(50\ ft)}{3.66\ ft}=13.6\ min[/tex] or [tex]13\ \frac{7}{11}\ min[/tex]
Answer:
183 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
3 2/3 feet minute * 50 feet
11/3 * 50 = 550/3 = 183 2/3
