To compare their speed (rate), we need to have the same time or same distance to use as a reference.
Matt ran 50 meters per 10 seconds. Molly ran 30 meters per 5 seconds. If she ran for 5 more seconds, she would have gone 30 more meters, for 30 meters per 10 seconds. Thus, Molly went faster.
Alternately, you could calculate their speeds in meters per (one) second and compare. 50 meters per 10 seconds is 5 meters per second, and 30 meters per 5 seconds is 6 meters per second.
In interval notation it should be [6, ∞)
Answer:
As she ate 1/10 of cake, we need to know how many cake remains after it, so we can substract:
1 - 1/10 = 10/10 - 1/10 = 9/10
Then, we need to divide the 9/10 into 3 portions:
(9/10) / 3 = 9/30 = 3/10
So we know the fractions would be 3/10 each on this situation..
Minus 3 from the 3 and the 18
Answer:
$27.2
Step-by-step explanation:
A cake that costs $32 is on sale for 15% off and there are no taxes. Explain why the expression (0.85).32 represents the final price of the cake in dollars.
This is explained in the calculation below
= A cake that costs $32 is on sale for 15% off
The amount off the cake is calculated as
= 15% of $32
= 15/100 × 32
= $4.8
The amount he is paying for the cake =>$32 - $4.8
= $27.2
The above expression is obtained as
(0.85).32
= (100% - 15%) × 32
=( 1 - 0.15) × 32
= 0.85 × 32
= $27.2
The final price of the cake = $27.2
