The clock was skipping 3 seconds every 30 minutes from Friday noon to Monday 6 pm.

The clock was still accurate by Friday noon. The clock was late by 468 seconds by Monday, 6 pm.

To solve the problem, we must:

Know how many 30-minutes have passed during the time period.

1 day = 24 hours

1 hour = 60 minutes = 2 × (30 minutes)

1 day = 24 hours × 2 × (30 minutes)

1 day = 48 × (30 minutes)

Thus, there are 48, 30-minutes in a day. On Friday, however, we start counting at noon, which is half of the day. Moreover, on Monday, the mark is only up to 6 pm, which is three-fourths of the day.

Friday = 48 × \frac{1}{2} = 24

Saturday = 48

Sunday = 48

Monday = 48 × \frac{3}{4} = 36

TOTAL = 24 + 48 + 48 + 36 = 156

Therefore, the total number of 30-minutes that have passed is 156. There were 156, 30-minutes that passed during the time period.

Divide the number of total seconds late by the number of 30-minutes passed.

That is, the number of total seconds late= 468 seconds ÷ 156

= 3 seconds  

Therefore, the clock was skipping 3 seconds every 30 minutes from Friday noon to Monday 6 pm.

The Area of a square at right is 72 square units Find the value of X, <br>Did I do this right?
Assoli18 [71]
Yes, your work is correct.

The diagram does illustrate x²+6x+9=72.  This is also represented by

(x+3)² = 72

We can take the square root of both sides:
\sqrt{(x+3)^2}=\sqrt{72}&#10;\\&#10;\\x+3=\pm 6 \sqrt2&#10;\\&#10;\\x+3-3=\pm 6 \sqrt{2} -3&#10;\\&#10;\\x=-3\pm 6\sqrt{2}

When we evaluate this, the answers are x = -11.5 or x = 5.5.

I can Multiply a 11x6 matric by a 6x7 matrix. The resulting matrix will be ??? Can somebody help me
Bumek [7]

Answer:

The resulting matrix will be 11 * 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Matrices 11 * 6 multiplied by 6 * 7

Required

The dimension of the resulting matrix

When a matrix a * b is multiplies by a matrix b * c, the resulting matrix will be: a * c

In this case:

a * b = > 11 * 6

b * c => 6 * 7

So, the resulting matrix will be:

a * c => 11 * 7

Amanda and her group of friends spent a total of $35.50 on 7 hot dogs and 6 cheese burgers. Greg and his group of friends spent
Alexeev081 [22]
7h + 6b = 35.50
5h + 6b = 30.50

The difference between the 2 totals spent is $5, and there were the same number of burgers, but 2 fewer hotdogs. So $5/2 = $2.50, the cost of a hot dog. Substitute that into the equations to solve for burgers (b)

5(2.50) + 6b = 30.50
12.50 + 6b = 30.50
6b = 18
b = 3

Check the work:
7(2.50) + 6(3) =
17.50 + 18 = 35.50
