Answer:

80 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest place to start for this is to calculate how much it costs per minute of call time. To do this, if we know that it costs 52.5 cents to call for 3.5 minutes, we can divide those two numbers to get how much it costs per minute.

52.5/3.5 = 15

If it costs 15 cents per minute, and we want to know how much it would cost to call for 5.33 (5 and 1/3 of a minute), then we multiply our 15 cents a minute by the number of minutes to get the final cost.

15 x 5.33 = 79.99

Because we can't have 99/100 cents, rounding up to 80 is important to get a proper answer.

Jack and Jill fetched 24 pints of water in their bucket. Jill drank a tenth of this, jack a quarter. They gave three eighths to
Minchanka [31]

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Total water fetched = 24 pints.

Jill drank a tenth of this. This will be:

= 1/10 × 24

= 2.4 pints

Jack drank a quarter. This will be:

= 1/4 × 24 = 6.

They gave three eighths to dame Dob . Thus will be:

= 3/8 × 24

= 9

They gave a fifth to jill's mother. This will be:

= 1/5 × 24.

= 4.80

Amount that'll be left over will be:

= 24 - (2.40 + 6 + 9 + 4.80)

= 24 - 22.2

= 1.8

1.8 pints of water will be left over.

Avery can run at 10 uph. The bank of a river is represented by the line 4x + 3y = 12, and Avery is at (7, 5). How much time does
Reil [10]
The minimum distance will be along a perpendicular line to the river that passes through the point (7,5)

4x+3y=12

3y=-4x+12

y=-4x/3+12/3

So a line perpendicular to the bank will be:

y=3x/4+b, and we need it to pass through (7,5) so

5=3(7)/4+b

5=21/4+b

20/4-21/4=b

-1/4=b so the perpendicular line is:

y=3x/4-1/4

So now we want to know the point where this perpendicular line meets with the river bank.  When it does y=y so we can say:

(3x-1)/4=(-4x+12)/3  cross multiply

3(3x-1)=4(-4x+12)

9x-3=-16x+48

25x=51

x=51/25

x=2.04

y=(3x-1)/4

y=(3*2.04-1)/4

y=1.28

So now that we know the point on the river that is closest to Avery we can calculate his distance from that point...

d^2=(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2

d^2=(7-2.04)^2+(5-1.28)^2

d^2=38.44

d=√38.44

d=6.2 units

Since he can run at 10 uph...

t=d/v

t=6.2/10

t=0.62 hours  (37 min 12 sec)

So it will take him 0.62 hours or 37 minutes and 12 seconds for him to reach the river.

WHAT'S THE ERROR? A student says 3(n- 5) is equal to 3n - 5. What's<br>the error?​
inn [45]

Answer:

The student incorrectly used the Distributive property!

Step-by-step explanation:

The Distributive property says a(b+c)=ab+ac

In this problem the answer SHOULD be 3n-15, however the <u>student forgot to distribute the 3 to the -5</u>!
