Let L be the length and W be the width.
"the width of a rectangle is half as long as the length"
W = (1/2)·L
"the rectangle has an area of 18 square feet"
A = L·W = 18
Substitute,
L·W = 18
L·(1/2)·L = 18
(L²)/2 = 18
L² = 36
L = 6 feet
then W = (1/2) · L
W = (1/2) · 6
W = 3 feet

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

5 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the auditorium holds an average of 1000 people each.

And that she charges $40 each.

Thus;

Total income for each speech is;

1000 × 40 = $40000

Since she gives an average of 10 presentations each week.

Total income per week = 10 × 40000 = $400,000

Now,the expenses she makes for each speech weekly is;

Renting auditorium = $15000

Motel, jet expenses, support personnel = $75000

Thus,

Total expenses per week = 15000 + 75000 = $90000

Now, total profit per week is;

P_weekly = Total income per week - Total expenses per week

P_weekly = $400000 - $90000

P_weekly = $310000

There are 52 weeks in a year, thus, profit in a year is;

P_yearly = 52 × 310000 = $16120000

Now, we want to find out how long it took her to make $1,400,000 a year.

We know that;

$16120000 was achieved in 52 weeks

Thus;$1,400,000 will be achieved in;

(1400000 × 52)/16120000 = 4.52 weeks approximately 5 weeks.

Matthew invested $3,000 into two accounts. One account paid 3% interest and the other paid 8% interest. He earned 4% interest on

boyakko [2]

Answer:

Mathew invested $600 and $2400 in each account.

Solution:

From question, the total amount invested by Mathew is $3000. Let p = $3000.

Mathew has invested the total amount $3000 in two accounts. Let us consider the amount invested in first account as ‘P’

So, the amount invested in second account = 3000 – P

Step 1:

Given that Mathew has paid 3% interest in first account .Let us calculate the simple interest $(I_1)$ earned in first account for one year,

$\text {simple interest}=\frac{\text {pnr}}{100}$

Where

p = amount invested in first account

n = number of years

r = rate of interest

hence, by using above equation we get $(I_1)$ as,

$I_{1}=\frac{P \times 1 \times 3}{100}$ ----- eqn 1

Step 2:

Mathew has paid 8% interest in second account. Let us calculate the simple interest $(I_2)$ earned in second account,

$I_{2} = \frac{(3000-P) \times 1 \times 8}{100} \text { ------ eqn } 2$

Step 3:

Mathew has earned 4% interest on total investment of $3000. Let us calculate the total simple interest (I)

$I = \frac{3000 \times 1 \times 4}{100} ----- eqn 3$

Step 4:

Total simple interest = simple interest on first account + simple interest on second account.

Hence we get,

$I = I_1+ I_2 ---- eqn 4$

By substituting eqn 1 , 2, 3 in eqn 4

$\frac{3000 \times 1 \times 4}{100} = \frac{P \times 1 \times 3}{100} + \frac{(3000-P) \times 1 \times 8}{100}$

$\frac{12000}{100} = \frac{3 P}{100} + \frac{(24000-8 P)}{100}$

12000=3P + 24000 - 8P

5P = 12000

P = 2400

Thus, the value of the variable ‘P’ is 2400

Hence, the amount invested in first account = p = 2400

The amount invested in second account = 3000 – p = 3000 – 2400 = 600

Hence, Mathew invested $600 and $2400 in each account.

The correlation coefficient for the ages of drivers in a driver safety class and the number of traffic violations they have rece

Doss [256]

A correlation coefficient is always a value in between -1 and 1
The closest a coefficient to -1, the correlation is a strong negative correlation
The closest a coefficient to 1, the correlation is a strong positive correlation
The closest a coefficient to 0, there is no correlation at all

The coefficient -0.61 shows a strong negative correlation
This means that the relationship between the age and the violation is an inverse relationship; as age increases, violation decreases
