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

Problem 8

Answer: angle LSO and angle MSN

--------------

Explanation:

Vertical angles form when we intersect two line segments, lines, or rays. Vertical angles are opposite one another and they are always congruent.

=============================================

Problem 9

Answer: angle LMS and angle SMN

--------------

Explanation:

Adjacent angles share a common line, line segment, or ray. Think of two adjacent rooms sharing a common wall between them. In the case of the answer above, the two angles share the common segment SM (note how S and M are part of LMS and SMN)

When it comes to naming angles, the middle letter is always the vertex of the angle. This is the hinge so to speak. Or you could picture a pair of scissors. For angle LMS, the arms LM and SM are the two blades of the scissors while point M is where the blades meet.

=============================================

Problem 10

Answer: angle LSM and angle MSN

--------------

Explanation:

Same idea as problem 9. Now we're making S the middle letter. Something like angle LSM is the same as angle MSL.

In this case, the two adjacent angles form a straight line. We consider these two angles a linear pair.

=============================================

Problem 11

Answer: angle LSO and angle OSN

--------------

Explanation:

The term linear pair was discussed back in problem 10. So you could list those two angles again, or you could go with another pair as shown above. All that matters is that they are adjacent angles and they are supplementary angles (they add to 180 degrees). There are many possible answers.

Something like the angle pair angle LOS and angle NOS are adjacent angles, but they aren't supplementary. So we don't meet the condition of a linear pair here.

Ida is cutting a 11/12 foot wooden board into 3/16 foot sections to do some detail work on a model she is building. How many who
zlopas [31]
You have to give them the same denominator so multiply 11/12 by 4 and 3/16 by 3. giving you 44/48 and 9/48. then divied 44 by 9 giving you 4.8888
there for there are 4 whole 3/16 sections of the 11/12 board
