Answer:

Total money earned on Thursday is $1090.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let amount of money for one house call of Plumber A be x

So, amount of money for 2 house call of Plumber A=2 x

So, amount of money for 4 house call of Plumber A=4 x

So, amount of money for 3 house call of Plumber A=3 x

Let amount of money for one house call of Plumber B be y

So, amount of money for 8 house call of Plumber B=8 y

So, amount of money for 7 house call of Plumber B=7 y

So, amount of money for 9 house call of Plumber B=9 y

Let amount of money for one house call of Plumber C be z

So, amount of money for 8 house call of Plumber C=8 z

So, amount of money for 10 house call of Plumber C=10 z

So, amount of money for 9 house call of Plumber C=9 z

Now we are given that The total amount of money earned by all three plumbers on Monday was $1,400.

On Monday Plumber A has 2 calls , Plumber B has 8 calls and Plumber C has 8 calls

So, equation becomes:2x+8y+8z=1400  --1

On Tuesday they earned a total of $1,660,On Tuesday Plumber A has 4 calls , Plumber B has 7 calls and Plumber C has 10 calls.

So, equation becomes:4x+7y+10z=1660 ---2

On Wednesday, they earned a total of $1,650.On Wednesday Plumber A has 3 calls , Plumber B has 9 calls and Plumber C has 9 calls.

So, equation becomes:3x+9y+9z=1650 ----3

Solving equation 1 ,2 AND 3

Equation 3: 3x+9y+9z=1650

                  x+3y+3z=550   ---4

Now substitute the value of x from 4 in 1 and 2

2(550-3y-3z)+8y+8z=1400 and 4(550-3y-3z)+7y+10z=1660

1100-6y-6z+8y+8z=1400 and 2200-12y-12z+7y+10z=1660

2y+2z=300 --- (a) and 5y+2z=540---(b)

Now substitute the value of y from a in b

5(\frac{300-2z}{2})+2z=540

5(150-z)+2z=540

750-5z+2z=540

750-3z=540

210=3z

70=z

Substitute the value of z in (a)

2y+2(70)=300

2y+140=300

2y=160

y=80

Substitute the value of y and z in 1

2x+8(80)+8(70)=1400

2x+640+560=1400

2x+1200=1400

2x=200

x=100

So, amount of money for one house call of Plumber A = $100

So, amount of money for one house call of Plumber B =$80

So, amount of money for one house call of Plumber C =$70

On Thursday Plumber A made four house calls, Plumber B made six house calls, and Plumber C made three house calls.

So, equation becomes : 4x+6y+3z

Substitute the values of x ,y and z

4(100)+6(80)+3(70)

400+480+210

1090

Thus total money earned on Thursday is $1090.

Hence Option C is correct.

Set of equations that can be used to calculate rate for each plumber:
2A+8B+8C = 1,400 --- (1)
4A+7B+10C = 1,660 --- (2)
3A+9B+9C = 1,660 --- (3)
------------------------------------
2*(1) - (2)
------------------------------------
4A+16B+16C = 2,800
4A+7B+10C = 1,660 -
------------------------------------
       9B+6C = 1,140 --- (4)
------------------------------------
3(2) -4(3)
-----------------------------------
12A+21B+30C = 4,980
12A+36B+36C = 6,600 -
-----------------------------------
         -15B-6C = -1,620 --- (5)
------------------------------------
(4) + (5)
------------------------------------
9B+6C = 1140
-15B-6C = -1620 +
-------------------------------------
-6B = -480 => 6B = 480 => B = 480/6 = 80
-------------------------------------------------------
Using (4), 9(80)+6C = 1140
720+6C = 1140 => 6C = 1140-720 = 420 => C = 420/6 = 70
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Using (1), 2A+8(80)+8(70) = 1400
2A+640+560 =1400 => 2A = 1400-640-560 = 200 => A = 200/2 = 100
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The rates are:
A = $100
B = $80
C = $70
--------------------------------
On Thursday, number of calls: A = 4 hrs, B = 6 hrs, C = 3 hrs
Money earned = 4*100+6*80+3*70 = $1,090

5 1/2 by 4 3/4 by 1/4 scale it down by 1/10
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

(11/20 by 19/40 by 1/40) OR (0.55 by 0.475 by 0.025)

Step-by-step explanation:

To scale down a set of measurements, simply multiply the original measurement by the factors you're scaling it by. For example, take the first measurement of 5 1/2. To scale this down, I turned the value into an improper fraction (11/2) to make the multiplication process easier. Then, I multiplied 11/2 by the factor of 1/10.

After that, I got 11/20, which is the new first measurement.

Julie and her brother go to Atlanta to ride the SkyView Ferris wheel. It measures 200 feet in diameter.
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

Part A) Circumference

Part B) C=\pi D

Part C) The distance traveled in one rotation is 628.32 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A) we know that

The distance around the circle is equal to the circumference.

The Ferris Wheel have a circular shape

so

To find out the distance around the Ferris Wheel you should use the circumference

Part B) What is the formula needed to solve this problem?

we know that

The circumference is equal to multiply the number π by the diameter of the circle

so

C=\pi D

Part C) What is the distance traveled in one rotation?

we know that

One rotation subtends a central angle of 360 degrees

The distance traveled in one rotation is the same that the circumference of the Ferris wheel

we have

D=200\ ft ----> diameter of the Ferris wheel

substitute in the formula of circumference

C=\pi (200)\\C=200\pi\ ft

assume

\pi=3.1416

C=200(3.1416)=628.32\ ft

therefore

The distance traveled in one rotation is 628.32 feet
