Answer:
292.5 miles per day
Step-by-step explanation:
The map shows it is 1170 miles from my school to Wall, South Dakota, a place well-advertised in the Midwest. If I want to take 4 days to get there, the required division is ...
... (1170 mi)/(4 da) = 292.5 mi/da
The volume of the original prism is given by:
V1 = (10) * (2) * (h)
rewriting:
V1 = 20h
Where,
h: height
The volume of the second prism is given by:
V2 = (5) * (w) * (h)
We know that the height is the same.
As the volume is the same then:
(5) * (w) * (h) = 20h
Clearing w we have:
w = (20/5) = 4 cm
Answer:
The width, in centimeters, of the new prism is:
w = 4cm
Answer:
Regular hourly rate for Brandon is $30
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the payment for regular hours be $x
given that
Brandon is paid 150% of his regular hourly rate for overtime hours
payment for overtime hours = 150% of payment for regular hours
payment for overtime hours = 150/100 * x = 3x/2
Given that He is paid \$45.00 an hour for overtime hours
thus,
3x/2 = 45
=> x = 45*2/3 = 30
Thus, regular hourly rate for Brandon is $30
Step-by-step explanation:
first a little help, how they got the equations :
in total they need 15 liters.
so, whatever x and y are, but together they must be 15 L.
x + y = 15
then, we are mixing x liters of 20% alcohol with y liters of 100% alcohol, that have to result in a 40% solution of (x+y) liters :
0.2x + y = 0.4(x+y)
we know from the first equation that x+y = 15, so the second equation is actually
0.2x + y = 0.4 × 15 = 6
so, we have
x + y = 15
0.2x + y = 6
do you notice something ? there is a "+ y" in both equations.
so we can actually subtract the second equation from the first, eliminate y and solve for the remaining x. and then use one of the original equating to get also y :
x + y = 15
- 0.2x + y = 6
---------------------
0.8x 0 = 9
0.8x = 9
x = 9/0.8 = 11.25 liters
x + y = 15
11.25 + y = 15
y = 15 - 11.25 = 3.75 liters
