Jamaica is considering buying either a car which goes 25 miles on 1 gallon of gas, or a truck that goes 10 miles on a gallon of gas. If gasoline costs $2.50 per gallon and Jamaica drives 1000 miles per month, how much less would it cost to drive the car each month than it would to drive the truck?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: if he drives the car each month, he would spend $150 lesser than when he drives the truck.

Step-by-step explanation:

The car goes 25 miles on 1 gallon of gas. Jamaica drives 1000 miles per month, it means that the number of gallons of gas that he would use in a month is

1000/25 = 40 gallons of gas

If gasoline costs $2.50 per gallon and Jamaica chooses to buy a car, the cost of gas per month would be

2.5 × 40 = $100

The truck goes 10 miles on 1 gallon of gas. Jamaica drives 1000 miles per month, it means that the number of gallons of gas that he would use in a month is

1000/10 = 100 gallons of gas

If gasoline costs $2.50 per gallon and Jamaica chooses to buy a truck, the cost of gas per month would be

2.5 × 100 = $250

The difference between both costs is

250 - 100 = $150

Explanation:

I have corrected your diagram so ∅ is the angle at the top of the diagram. In order to solve this problem we have to use Pythagorean theorem and the law of sines. Moreover, I have named two sides as w and z so those variables will help us to solve this problem. So:

The triangle at the bottom is right, so by Pythagorean theorem is true that:

[tex]w^2=4^2+(2\sqrt{2})^2 \\ \\ w^2=24 \\ \\ w=\sqrt{24} \\ \\ w=2\sqrt{6}[/tex]

By law of sines:

[tex]\frac{z}{sin\theta}=\frac{w}{sin60^{\circ}} \\ \\ z=\frac{wsin\theta}{sin60^{\circ}} \\ \\ z=\frac{2\sqrt{6}sin\theta}{\sqrt{3}/2} \\ \\ z=4\sqrt{2}sin\theta[/tex]

By law of sines again:

[tex]\frac{y}{sin45^{\circ}}=\frac{z}{sin\phi} \\ \\ y=\frac{zsin45^{\circ}}{sin\phi} \\ \\ y=\frac{4\sqrt{2}sin\theta \sqrt{2}/2}{sin\phi} \\ \\ \\ Finally: \\ \\ \boxed{y=\frac{4sin\theta}{sin\phi}}[/tex]

Apply the distributive property and the greatest common factor to write an equivalent expression. Enter your answers in the boxes.

Answers

Answer:

12 (5x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

First to know if we can get a common factor we have to find a number by which it is divisible on 24 and 60

first we will try with 2

60/2 = 30            both are divisible by 2

24 /2 = 12

then we will take common factor 2

60x - 24

we multiply and divide by 2

2 (60x - 24)/2

we distribute the 2

2(60x/2 - 24/2)

and solve

2(30x - 12)

Now we continue with the same procedure until there is no more number in common to divide

we will try with 2

30/2 = 15            both are divisible by 2

12 /2 = 6

then we will take common factor 2

2(30x - 12)

we multiply and divide by 2

2*2 (30x - 12)/2

we distribute the 2

4(30x/2 - 12/2)

and solve

4(15x - 6)

continue with the same procedure

we will try with 2

15/2 = X            only one is divisible by 2

6 /2 = 3

we will try with 3

15/3 = 5          both are divisible by 3

6 /3 = 2

then we will take common factor 3

4(15x - 6)

we multiply and divide by 3

4*3 (15x - 6)/3

we distribute the 3

12(30x/3 - 6/3)

and solve

12(5x - 2)

there is no number other than 1 by which we can divide 5 and 2

12(5x - 2)

Riverside Elementary School is holding a school-wide election to choose a school color. 5/8 of the voters were for blue 5/9 of the remaining voters were for green. And the remaining 48 voters were for red. How many voters were for blue?

Answers

Answer:

There were 180 voters for blue color.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of voters be 'x'.

Given:

Number of Voters for blue color = [tex]\frac{5}{8}x[/tex]

Number of Voters for green color = [tex]\frac{5}{9}(x-\frac58x)=\frac59x(1-\frac58)[/tex]

Now we will use LCM to make the denominator common we get;

Number of Voters for green color = [tex]\frac59x(\frac88-\frac58)=\frac59x(\frac{8-5}{9})=\frac59x(\frac38)=\frac{15x}{72}[/tex]

Number of Voters for red color = 48

We need to find the number of voters for blue color.

Solution:

Now we can say that;

total number of voters is equal to sum of Number of Voters for blue color, Number of Voters for green color and Number of Voters for red color.

framing in equation form we get;

[tex]x=\frac58x+\frac{15x}{72}+48[/tex]

Combining like terms we get;

[tex]x-\frac58x-\frac{15x}{72} = 48[/tex]

Now we will make denominators common using LCM we get;

[tex]\frac{72x}{72}-\frac{5x\times9}{8\times9}-\frac{15x\times1}{72\times 1} = 48\\\\\frac{72x}{72}-\frac{45x}{72}-\frac{15x}{72} = 48[/tex]

Now denominators are common so we will solve the numerators we get;

[tex]\frac{72x-45x-15x}{72}=48\\\\\frac{12x}{72}=48\\\\\frac{x}{6}=48[/tex]

Now multiplying both side by 6 we get;

[tex]\frac{1}{6}x\times6=48\times6\\\\x = 288[/tex]

Number of voters for blue color = [tex]\frac{5}{8}x=\frac{5}{8}\times 288= 180[/tex]

Hence There were 180 voters for blue color.

Suppose you want to determine the distance d that light travels in h hours. The speed of light is approximately 670,616,629 miles per hour. Which direct variation equation represents this situation? d = 670,616,629h h = 670,616,629d

Answers

Answer:

[tex]d = 670,616,629h \ mi[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Speed of the light = 670,616,629 mi\hr

We need to find the direct variation equation represents given situation.

Solution:

Speed is defined as the ratio of distance and time. So, the equation of the speed is as follows:

[tex]Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}[/tex]

And also written as.

[tex]S = \frac{d}{h}[/tex]

Now, we write the above equation for distance.

[tex]d = S\times h[/tex] ------------(1)

Where:

d = distance travel by object.

S = speed of the object.

h = Total time taken

Substitute S = 670,616,629 mi\hr in equation 1.

[tex]d = 670,616,629h \ mi[/tex]

Therefore, direct variation equation to represents the given situation

[tex]d = 670,616,629h \ mi[/tex]

P (Supreme) = 0.130, P (Another Kind) = 0.144

and P (Does not like any kind) = 0.088

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of students who prefer cheese = 43

Number of students who prefer sausage = 56

Number of students who prefer pepperoni = 39

Number of students who prefer supreme = 28

Number of students who prefer another kind = 31

Number of students who did not like any kind = 19

∴ The total number of students surveyed = [tex]43+56+39+28+31+19=216[/tex]       The number of students who prefer pizza = [tex]43+56+39+28+31=197[/tex]

                                                   [tex]=\frac{19}{216} \\=0.088[/tex]

The probability distribution of students who prefer different kinds of pizza is:

The probability that a student likes cheese:

       [tex]P(A\ Student\ prefers\ cheese)=\frac{No.\ of\ students\ who\ prefer\ cheese}{Total\ no.\ of\ students\ surveyed}[/tex]

Answers

It would be C. You make the points into (-2,7) then subtract 3 from your new points and you get (-2,4)

The coordinates of A'  after rotation  of 270 counterclockwise and then shifted down 3 units are (2, 4).

To find the coordinates of point A' after a 270-degree counterclockwise rotation around the origin and then shifting down 3 units, we first perform the rotation.

A 270-degree counterclockwise rotation is equivalent to a 90-degree clockwise rotation. So, when we rotate point A(-7, -2) 90 degrees clockwise, we swap the coordinates and change the sign of the former x-coordinate, which gives us the new point A''(2, 7). Next, we shift A'' down 3 units, which means we subtract 3 from the y-coordinate, resulting in A'(2, 4).

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of both triangles as just one single large triangle.

The exterior angles at the bottom have measure 127 deg.

That means the two interior angles at the bottom have measure

180 deg - 127 deg = 53 deg

The measures of the interior angles of triangle add to 180 deg.

The upper interior angle has measure:

180 deg - 53 deg - 53 deg = 74 deg

A full circle has 360 degrees.

Angle r is a full circle minus the upper interior angle of the combined triangle.

r = 360 deg - 74 deg

Answers

Answer:

x is a binomial random variable because a trial is independent and number of trials, n = 10.                                            

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information:

We treat adult  reading at least one book in the past 12 months as a success.

P(Adult reading atleast one book) = 74% = 0.74

Then the number of adults follows a binomial distribution, where

[tex]P(X=x) = \binom{n}{x}.p^x.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

where n is the total number of observations, x is the number of success, p is the probability of success.

If x is a random variable representing the number of people who have read at least on book, then x follows a binomial distribution because:

There are n independent trials. Here, n = 10.Each trial have two possible outcome either a success(read atleast one book) or a failure(not read atleast one book)The probability of success is same for each trial. Here p = 0.74

Thus,

x is a binomial random variable because a trial is independent and number of trials, n = 10.

Two of the vertices of a rectangle are (1, -6) and ( -8, -6 ) if the rectangle has a perimeter of 26 units what are the coordinates of it's other vertices?

Answers

Answer:

(1, -2)

(-8, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

(1 , -6) and (-8 , -6)

1 - (-8) = 9

we know that the length of the side that we know the vertices is 9

from there we make an equation with the sum of the sides equal to the perimeter

we will have 2 times 9 and 2 times x beacause it is a rectangle

x + x + 9 +9 = 26

2x + 18 = 26

2x = 26 - 18

2x = 8

x = 8/2

x = 4

Now that we know the missing side we just have to add or subtract this value to the coordinate in and of the vertices we have and we will obtain the missing vertices

(1, -6 + 4)

(1, -2)

( -8, -6+4 )

(-8, -2)

Final answer:

The coordinates of the other two vertices of the rectangle are (1, -2) and (-8, -2), found by calculating the length of one side using the given vertices and then applying the rectangle's perimeter to find the length of the adjacent sides.

Explanation:

The subject of the question is to find the other two vertices of a rectangle given two of its vertices and the perimeter. We know that the opposite sides of a rectangle are equal in length. So, to solve this, we can use the distance formula to find the length of one side with the two given points (1, -6) and (-8, -6). The length of this side is the absolute value of the difference in the x-coordinates, which is 9 units. Since the perimeter is 26, and this length is 9, the sum of the lengths of the other two sides is 26 - 2*9 = 8 units. Therefore, each of these sides is 4 units long. Because the given points have the same y-coordinate, they lie on a horizontal side of the rectangle, so the other two vertices will have the same x-coordinates as the given ones and will be 4 units vertically away. If we add and subtract 4 units from the y-coordinate of the given points, we get the other two vertices: (1, -6 +4) and (-8, -6 +4). So the coordinates of the other two vertices are: (1, -2) and (-8, -2).

if the number of students at a particular High School who participate in after-school drama programs increases at a rate of 8% per year, how long will it take for the number of students participating in the after-school programs to double?
a. about 25 years
b. about 12.5 years
c. about 3.6 years
d. about 9 years​

Answers

Answer:

  d.  about 9 years​

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a "rule of thumb" for doubling time* that says the product of the percentage rate of change per year and the doubling time in years is about 72. Here, that means the doubling time is about ...

  72/8 = 9 . . . . years

_____

You can write the exponential equation ...

  multiplier = (1 +.08)^n

and solve for multiplier = 2:

  2 = 1.08^n

  log(2) = n·log(1.08) . . . . . take logs

  log(2)/log(1.08) = n . . . . . divide by the coefficient of n

  9.00647 ≈ n

It will take about 9 years for the participation to double.

_____

* The farther away from 8% the rate of change is, or the more times per year it is compounded, the less accurate is the "rule of 72." When compounding is continuous, the "rule of 72" becomes the "rule of 69.4". For this problem, answer choices are sufficiently far apart that the rule of thumb is adequate for making a correct choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of Sedans in the dealership shop.

Let y represent the number of SUV's in the dealership shop.

If there are a combined 24 sedans and SUVs, it means that

x + y = 24 - - - - - - - - - - - -1

At a car dealership, there are three times as many sedans as SUVs. This means that

x = 3y

Substituting x = 3y into equation 1, it becomes

3y + y = 24

4y = 24

y = 24/4 = 6

x = 3y = 6 × 3

x = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Before climbing, carlos wants to know the height of the rock wall he will climb. He places a mirror on the ground between him and the base of the wall, so he can see rhe top of the wall in the mirror. The mirror is 4 ft from carlos and 36 ft from the base of the wall. Carlos is 5.8 fr tall

Answers

Answer:

The rock is 52.2 feet high

Step-by-step explanation:

Similar Triangles

The triangle formed by the rock, mirror and the ground is similar to the triangle formed by Carlos, the mirror and the ground (see image below). This means its sides are proportional, and

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{H}{h}=\frac{X}{x}[/tex]

We want to calculate the height of the rock, thus we solve for H

[tex]\displaystyle H=\frac{h.X}{x}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle H=\frac{5.8\times 36}{4}=52.2 feet[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{\text{The rock is 52.2 feet high}}[/tex]

Final answer:

Using the properties of similar triangles and the distances between Carlos, the mirror, and the wall, we determined the height of the rock wall to be 52.2 ft.

Explanation:

Before climbing, Carlos wants to know the height of the rock wall he will climb. To determine the height of the wall, we can use the properties of similar triangles formed by Carlos's height and the distances between him, the mirror, and the wall. The mirror effectively creates two sets of similar triangles, one involving the actual height of Carlos and the other involving the perceived height of the rock wall in the mirror.

Carlos's height is 5.8 ft. The distance from Carlos to the mirror is 4 ft, and the distance from the mirror to the wall is 36 ft. Since Carlos can see the top of the wall in the mirror placed 4 ft away from him, we can use the ratio of distances and heights to determine the wall's height. The setup is based on the principle that the ratio of the distance from Carlos to the mirror is to the distance from the mirror to the base of the wall as Carlos's height is to the unknown height of the wall.

Using the ratio 4:36, we can set up a proportion, keeping in mind that similar triangles have corresponding sides that are in proportion. Thus, the height of the wall is to Carlos's height of 5.8 ft as 36 ft is to 4 ft. This gives us the equation: Height of wall / 5.8 = 36 / 4. Calculating this, we find that the height of the wall is 52.2 ft.

Find an equation in standard form for the hyperbola with vertices at (0, ±9) and foci at (0, ±10).

y squared over 81 minus x squared over 100 = 1

y squared over 81 minus x squared over 19 = 1

y squared over 19 minus x squared over 81 = 1

y squared over 100 minus x squared over 81 = 1

Answers

Answer:

y² / 81  -  x² / 19   = 1

Step-by-step explanation: See Annex ( vertices and foci in coordinates axis)

The equation in standard form for the hyperbola is:

x² / a² - y²/b² = 1       or    y²/a²  -  x² / b²  = 1

In cases of transverse axis parallel to x axis  or y axis respectively.

As per given information in this case hyperbola has a transverse axis parallel to  y  axis the equation is

y²/a²  -  x² / b²  = 1

a is a distance between  center and vertex therefore a = 9

c is a distance between center and a focus c = 10

and  b will be:

c² = a²  +  b²    ⇒   b²  = c²  - a²     ⇒ b²  =  (10)² - (9)²    ⇒  b² = 100 - 81

b = √19

And the equation in standard form is:

y² / a²  -  x² / b²  = 1

y² / ( 9 )²   -  x² / √(19)²     ⇒   y² / 81  -  x² / 19   = 1

Answer:

B

La patinoar au venit dimineața 136 de copii, iar după-amiază de 3 ori mai mulți. Câți bani s-au încasat pe biletele vândute, dacă un bilet de intrare costă 15 lei?

Answers

Answer:

8,160 lei

Step-by-step explanation:

The question in English is

136 children came to the ice rink in the morning, and three times in the afternoon. How much money was collected on the tickets sold, if an entrance ticket costs 15 lei?

step 1

Find the total number of children that came to the ice rink

we know that

The number of children that came to the ice rink in the morning was 136

The number of children that came to the ice rink in the afternoon was (136*3)=408

To find out the total number of children that came to the ice rink , adds the number of children that came in the morning plus the number of children that came in the afternoon

so

[tex]136+408=544\ children[/tex]

step 2

To find out the total money collected, multiply the total number of children by the cost of one ticket entrance

so

[tex]544(15)=8,160\ lei[/tex]

Jenny plans to invest $9,000. America's Bank offers a 10 year CD at an annual interest rate of 3.8% compounding interest semi-annually. How much is her investment worth at the end of the 10 years?
Group of answer choices

$9,000

$13,114

$15,840

$18,000

Answers

Answer: $13,114

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for determining compound interest which is expressed as

A = P(1+r/n)^nt

Where

A = total amount in the account at the end of t years

r represents the interest rate.

n represents the periodic interval at which it was compounded.

P represents the principal or initial amount deposited

From the information given,

P = 9000

r = 3.8% = 3.8/100 = 0.038

n = 2 because it was compounded 2 times in a year.

t = 10 years

Therefore,.

A = 9000(1+0.038/2)^2 × 10

A = 9000(1+0.019)^20

A = 9000(1.019)^20

A = $13114

The final amount that Jenny's investment would be worth of at the end of 10 years is given by: Option B:  $13114 approx.

How to calculate compound interest's amount?

If the initial amount (also called as principal amount) is P, and the interest rate is R% per unit time, and it is left for T unit of time for that compound interest, then the interest amount earned is given by:

[tex]CI = P(1 +\dfrac{R}{100})^T - P[/tex]

The final amount becomes:

[tex]A = CI + P\\A = P(1 +\dfrac{R}{100})^T[/tex]

For this case, we are given that:

Initial amount Jenny invested = $9,000 = PThe rate of interest = 3.8% semi annually (0.5 years) = 3.8/2 = 1.9% per 0.5 years = R Thus, unit of time = half yearTime for which investment was made= 10 years = 20 half years =T

Thus, the final amount at the end of 10 years is given by:

[tex]A = P(1 +\dfrac{1.9}{100})^T\\\\A = 9000(1 + \dfrac{1.9}{100})^{20} = 9000(1.019)^{20} \approx 13114 \text{\: \: (in dollars)}[/tex]

Thus, the final amount that Jenny's investment would be worth of at the end of 10 years is given by: Option B:  $13114 approx.

Question:

A square piece of paper has an area of x2 square units. A rectangular strip with a width of 2 units and a length of x units is cut off of the square piece of paper. The remaining piece of paper has an area of 120 square units.

Which equation can be used to solve for x, the side length of the original square?

x2 − 2x − 120 = 0

x2 + 2x − 120 = 0

x2 − 2x + 120 = 0

x2 + 2x + 120 = 0

Answer:

Option a: [tex]x^{2} -2x-120=0[/tex] is the equation

Explanation:

It is given that the area of the square paper is [tex]x^{2}[/tex] square units.

The area of the remaining piece of paper is 120 square units.

It is also given that the area of the remaining piece of paper is [tex]x^{2}-2 x[/tex]

Thus, equating the area of the remaining piece of paper, we have,

[tex]x^{2} -2x=120[/tex]

Subtracting 120 from both sides of the equation, we have,

[tex]x^{2} -2x-120=0[/tex]

Thus, the equation [tex]x^{2} -2x-120=0[/tex] can be used to solve for x.

Hence, Option a is the correct answer.
