Answer: 94.8 % (approx)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total household in the U.S is x,

⇒ The total household who did not have a telephone in 1960 = 21.5 % of x

= 0.215 x

According to the question,

The total household who do not have a telephone in 1990 = 75.8 % less than the household in 1960 who did not have the cell phone,

= (100-75.8)% of 0.215x

= 24.2 % of 0.215x

= 0.05203x,

⇒ The household in 1990 who had a telephone = x - 0.05203x = 0.94797x

Hence, the percentage of household who has a telephone in 1990

= \frac{0.94797x}{x}\times 100

= 94.797\%\approx 94.8\%

⇒ Around 94.8% household had telephone in the US in 1990.

GIVING OUT BRAINLIEST!! All sacks of sugar have the same weight. All sacks of flour also have the same weight, but not necessari
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

flour = 11.5, sugar has to be equal to 2.75 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

your 2 inequalities are:

2x + 3y <= 40

y <= 2x + 6

the second equation can be shown as:

-2x + y <= 6

solve the equality portion of these 2 inequalities.

those are the following equations:

2x + 3y = 40

-2x + y = 6

add these equations together and solve for y to get

y = 11.5

that appears to be a break even point.

when y = 11.5, the first inequality is solved as follows:

2x + 3y <= 40

replace y with 11.5 and the inequality becomes:

2x + 34.5 <= 40

solve for x to get

x <= 2.75

when y = 11.5, the second inequality is solved as follows:

-2x + y <= 6

replace y with 11.5 and the inequality becomes:

-2x + 11.5 <= 6

solve for x to get x >= 2.75

this indicates that, when y = 11.5, x has to be equal to 2.75.

both constraints are satisfied.

How much do you save per class by taking the longer-term class: Weight Training, $200 for 18 weeks (54 classes) or $350 for 36 w
Vsevolod [243]

<u>Shorter term class:</u>

You pay $200 for 54 classes in total. So,

\frac{200}{54} =3.704 dollars per class (rounded to 3 decimal places)


<u>Longer term class:</u>

You pay $350 for 108 classes in total, So,

\frac{350}{108} =3.241 dollars per class (rounded to 3 decimal places)


Hence, by taking longer term classes, you save around 3.704-3.241=0.463 dollars.

Rounding to 2 decimal places, you save $0.46 per class.


ANSWER: You save $0.46 per class.

Answer:

James bought 11 good tickets and 5 bad tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Cost of each good ticket = $8

Cost of each bad ticket = $5

Total amount spent = $113

Total tickets bought = 16

Let,

x be the number of good tickets bought

y be the number of bad tickets bought

x+y=16     Eqn 1

8x+5y=113    Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 5

5(x+y=16)

5x+5y=80    Eqn 3

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

(8x+5y)-(5x+5y)=113-80

8x+5y-5x-5y=33

3x=33

Dividing both sides by 3

\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{33}{3}\\x=11

Putting x=11 in Eqn 1

11+y=16

y=16-11

y=5

Hence,

James bought 11 good tickets and 5 bad tickets.

Convert the rate 1000 fluid ounces per 2 hours to cups per minute
Ronch [10]
There are 8 ounces in a cup, so there are 125 cups in 1000 ounces.
1000 / 8 = 125
there are 60 minutes in an hour and 120 minutes in 2 hours
so 1000 ounces / 2 hours is
125 cups / 120 minutes
125 / 120 = 1.04 cups per minute

Check your work
multiply times 60 to get cups per hour
1.04 * 60 = 62.4 cups per hour
multiply times 8 to get ounces per hour
62.4 * 8 = 499.2
multiply times 2 to get ounces per 2 hours
499.2 * 2 = 998.4
the number is not quite 1000 due to rounding the 125 / 120 as it is closer to 1.041666666666667
