If a marathon runner averages 8.83 mi/h, how long does it take him or her to run a 26.22-mi marathon? express your answers in h, min and s.

t=2.97h

t= 10692s

t= 178.2 min

Explanation:

We propose the following ratio:

t=2.97h

Equivalences

1h=3600s

1h=60 min

Calculation of t in minutes (min) and seconds(s):

t=2.97h*3600s/h= 10692s

t=2.97h*60min/h= 178.2 min

answer: the exterior temperature of commercial jet planes as they leave the stratosphere and return to the ground increases steadily.

explanation:

the lower most layer of atmosphere is troposphere which extends from 0 to 12 km above the surface of the earth. the temperature initially decreases as distance is increased from the earth's surface. commercial jets fly in lower part of the stratosphere. the stratosphere extends upto 50 km. the temperature in stratosphere starts rising again due to presence of ozone which traps the uv rays.

thus, when the planes leave the stratosphere and return to the ground, the exterior temperature increases steadily.
