Answer:
3/20 of the cover page is text about endangered species.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that 3/8th of the page is text, and 2/5ths of that text is about endangered species.
So all we have to do is find out how much 2/5ths of 3/8ths are, which can be done simply via fraction multiplication.
3/8 * 2/5 = ?
For multiplying fractions, we multiply the top parts together, and then the bottom parts together. So 3/ 8 * 2/5 would be equal to (3*2) / (8*5). This gives us 6 / 40 which can be simplified to 3/20.
So 3/20ths of the cover page is about endangered animals.
Option A. All the real values of x where x < -1
Procedure
Solve the inequality:
(x -3)(x+1)>0
That happens in two cases.
1) When both factors >0
x-3>0 and x+1>0
x>3 and x >-1
The intersection is x >3
2) When both factors <0
x-3<0 and x+1<0
x<3 and x<-1
the intersection is x<-1.
We have obtained that the function is positive for the intervals x < -1 and x > 3. But in one of those intervals the function is decresing and in the other is increasing.
You can recognize that the function given is a parabola and, because the coefficient of the quadratic term is positive, the parabola opens upward. Then the function is decreasing in the first interval and increasing in the second interval.
Use x as the base variable. All others as x+(extra amount).
First find out how much he makes in 8 hours (9x8=72). Then subtract 72 from 155 (155-72=83). Then divide 83 by 6 (83/6=13.8333). Since 83 is not evenly divisible by 6, and since he can't deliver .8333 of a delivery, we would round up, giving us 14). Ben would need to make 14 deliveries in 8 hours to make more than $155 :) Hope this helps you :)
