Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
|-12|= 12
this means that it represents a positive number. Each answer represents a positive number other than the town that lies -12 feet below sea level. (sorry if I'm wrong)
Step-by-step explanation:
1/6×100%=50/3%
3/24×100%=25/4%
3/8×100%=75/2%
=>50/3%+25/4%+75/2%+x=100%
=>100%-725/12%=x
=>x=59 and 5/12
Answer: B
Explanation:
Use Pythagorean’s theorem to find it out:
A^2 + B^2 = C^2
8^2 + 15^2 = 17^2
64 + 225 = 289
289 = 289
So these side lengths create a right triangle
I find it convenient to look at the differences and the rate at which those differences are made up.
8. Jim is closing the $150 gap at the rate of $7.50 per week. He will catch up in
... 150/(7.5/week) = 20 weeks
9. At noon, the price of Stock A has increased by 0.05×3 = 0.15, so is now $15.90, which is $0.63 more than Stock B at that time. The prices are closing the gap at the rate of $0.05 +0.13 = $0.18 per hour, so will be the same after
... $0.63/($0.18/hour) = 3.5 hours . . . . after noon, at 3:30 pm

You can also write and solve equations for the prices of the stocks. Or you can use a graphing calculator to tell you the solution. When equations are involved, I like to solve them the simplest possible way: let technology do it.
You are given the value at a time, and the rate of change of that value, so the equations are easily written in point-slope form. You will note that the common price at 3:30 pm (15.5 hours after midnight) is one that is not a whole number of cents. (That's usually OK for when trading stocks.)
