In the contiguous united states, the ratio of states that border an ocean to states that do not border an ocean is 7: 9. how many of the states border an ocean

21

Step-by-step explanation:

The contiguous U.S. consist of all states beside Alaska and Hawaii; therefore, there are 48 contiguous U.S. states. However, the ratio given to us only consists of 16 states [7 + 9 = 16]. If we need to expand the ratio, we multiply 16 by 3 to get 48. Thus, we also multiply each of the terms by 3, and the ratio becomes 21:27. Therefore, the number of contiguous U.S. states that border an ocean is 21.

Step-by-step explanation:

2.26m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

65km/hr = 18.05m/s

v = 18.05m/s

u = 0 m/s

t = 8s

a = 2.26m/s^2
