Mathematics
1 answer:
Pachacha [2.7K]3 years ago

Answer:

A) 7.24 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The together rate is the sum of each separate rate.

In this problem:

Beth's rate is 1/15(suppose there was a small typing mistake there, with 151 none of the options are correct).

Mike's rate is 1/14

The together rate is 1/x

Then

We want to find x.

\frac{1}{15} + \frac{1}{14} = \frac{1}{x}

15*14 = 210. So

\frac{14 + 15}{210} = \frac{1}{x}

\frac{29}{210} = \frac{1}{x}

Cross multiplication

29x = 210

x = \frac{210}{29}

x = 7.24

So the correct answer is:

A) 7.24 hours

Shtirlitz [24]
For this case, the first thing we are going to do is rewrite the equation correctly.
 We have then:
 T = 50 + (N-40) / 4
 We substitute the value of N = 98, we have then:
 T = 50 + (98-40) / 4
 T = 64.5 degrees Fahrenheit.
 Answer:
 the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, T is:
 T = 64.5 degrees Fahrenheit.

The dimensions of a rectangle can be given by x+7 and x+2. If the area of the rectangle is 66 square inches, what are the dimens
Nadusha1986 [10]

to solve  for the dimensions (x+7)(x+2)=66,

we can first use the foiling method to simplify the left side.

x^2 + 2x + 7x + 14 = 66

x^2 + 9x + 14 = 66

now, subtract 66 from both sides.

x^2 + 9x - 52 = 0

now, split this into two parentheses.

(x + 13)(x - 4)

since the root of -13 would give you negative values, x=4. This means that the dimensions of the rectangle are 11 and 6.

Karla invests $300 compounded every 6 months at a rate of 10% for 3 years. At the end of three years, Karla will have $402.03 in
adell [148]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for determining compound interest which is expressed as

A = P(1 + r/n)^nt

Where

A = total amount in the account at the end of t years

r represents the interest rate.

n represents the periodic interval at which it was compounded.

P represents the principal or initial amount deposited

From the information given,

P = $300

r = 10% = 10/100 = 0.1

n = 2 because it was compounded 2 times in a year(6 months).

t = 3 years

Therefore,

A = 300(1 + 0.1/2)^2 × 3

A = 300(1 + 0.05)^6

A = 300(1.05)^6

A = $402.03
