The number of wrecks at a certain intersection varies directly as the number of cars that travel through the intersection. If th

ere are 31 wrecks when 1,085 cars have traveled through the intersection, how many cars have passed through the intersection after 7 wrecks?

The number of cars that have passed through the intersection is 245.

<h3>How many cars passed through the intersection?</h3>

Direct variation is when two variables move in the same direction. If one variable increases, the other variable increases.

The equation that represents direct variation is; c = wk

Where:

  • c = number of cars
  • w = number of wrecks
  • k = constant of proportionality

1085 = k31

k = 1085 / 31

k = 35

c = 7 x 35

c = 245

Students in a zoology class took a final exam. They took equivalent forms of the exam at monthly intervals thereafter. After t​
juin [17]

Answer:

a. 73; b. 48.9; c. 2; d. 33.8; e. 73

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume the function was

S(t)= 73 - 15 ln(t + 1), t  ≥ 0

a. Average score at t = 0

S(0) = 73 - 15 ln(0 + 1) = 73 - 15 ln(1) = 73 - 15(0) =73 - 0 = 73

b. Average score at t = 4

S(4) = 73 - 15 ln(4 + 1) = 73 - 15 ln(5) = 73 - 15(1.61) =73 - 24.14 = 48.9

c. Average score at t =24

S(24) = 73 - 15 ln(24 + 1) = 73 - 15 ln(25) = 73 - 15(3.22) =73 - 48.28 = 24.7

d. Percent of answers retained

At t = 0. the students retained 73 % of the answers.

At t = 24, they retained 24.7 % of the answers.

\text{Percent retention} = \dfrac{\text{24.7}}{\text{73}} \times 100 \, \% = \text{33.8 \%}\\\\\text{The students retained $\large \boxed{\mathbf{33.8 \, \%}}$ of their original knowledge after two years.}

e. Maximum of the function

The maximum of the function is at t= 0.

Max = 73 %

A rectangle is 12 feet long and 5 feet wide. If the length of the rectangle is increased by 25% and the width is decreased by 20
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

30 square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the main area of the rectangle to determine the changes.

We know, Area of a rectangle = Length × Width

Given,

Length = 12 feet

Width = 5 feet

Therefore, the area of the rectangle = (12 × 5) Square feet.

The area of the rectangle = 60 square feet.

Now, if the length of the rectangle increased by 25%, the new length would be = 12 feet (12 feet × 25%) = 12 feet + 3 feet = 15 feet.

If the width increased by 20%, the latest width would be = 5 feet + (5 feet × 20%) = 5 feet + 1 foot = 6 feet.

The new area of that rectangle = (15 × 6) square feet = 90 square feet.

The changes of area from the previous rectangle is = (90 - 60) square feet = 30 square feet.

need some help with geo, could you explain how to do it as well so i know next time not needed but helpful
Setler [38]
You can do this by finding the lengths of RT , RS and ST using the distance formula

RT = sqrt ((0- -5)^2  + (4 - -6)^2)
      = sqrt (5^2 + 10^2)  = sqrt 125

RS =  sqrt ((-3- -5)^2 +  (-2 - -6)^2))
       = sqrt  ( 2^2 + 4^2)  = sqrt 20

ST  = sqrt 125 - sqrt 20

RS / ST  = sqrt 20 / (sqrt 125-sqrt 20)

so the ratio RS:ST = 2:3

Abby counts 12 large boxes and 18 small boxes of pencils in the supply cabinet. Each large box contains 144 pencils. Each small
Maru [420]
The total number of pencils is 2,160. When estimating to the nearest hundredth one gets 2,200, which is an underestimate. 

The advantage of underestimating is that your answer is more accurate than an overestimate.
