Using proportions, it is found that the correct option for when the machine will stop running the algorithm is:

B) 9 P.M. on Saturday.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct or inverse proportional, can be built to find the desired measures in the problem.

The algorithm runs for 972 hours. Each day has 24 hours, hence we apply the proportion to find the number of days as follows:

972/24 = 40.5 days.

The remainder of the division of 40.5 by 7, as a week has 7 days, is of 5.5, which means that the code will finish running 5.5 days after the 9 A. M. Monday, that is at 9 P. M. on a Saturday, which means that option B is correct.

The value of a car decreases $500 for every 1,000 miles it is driven. The current value of the car is $23,000, and the car is dr
Hoochie [10]

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

If we know the value of the car decreases $500 for every 1,000 miles, and that the car is driven about 10,000 miles every year, that means that you need to take the total value of the car (23,000) and subtract it from the amount of money it is losing per year. Again, the car is driven about 10,000 miles per year, so that means that the car will most likely continue to be driven 10,000 miles per year. If you do the math, for one year, the value of the car will drop $5,000 ($500 x 10, because it is $500 per every 1,000 miles) So, for each year, you can just multiply the number of years by $5,000 to find out how much the vehicle has depreciated over time.

Hope this helped you and made sense! Feel free to ask me any questions you have!

Simplify:<br><br><br>4(r + 1) + 3r<br><br> A. 4r + 4<br> B. 5r + 1<br> C. 7r + 1<br> D. 7r + 4
klasskru [66]

Answer:

look in the explanation, it is in there

Step-by-step explanation:

i don't know if you are distributing or just using PEMDAS .

if you are distributing then: do in the equation 4(r + 1) + 3r.. do 4 x r and 4 x 1 , now you have 4r + 4 + 3r

                        7r +4

                      is what i got!

If you are doing PEMDAS then: first you do what is inside the perenthisis ()

4(r + 1) +3r changes into

4( r1 ) + 3r now you do multipulcation because that in the "M" in pemdas

4r + 3r, then if you are using like terms you would add them

7r

i hope this helps you out!
