The local skating rink pays Mary a fixed rate per pupil plus a base amount to work as a skating instructor. She earns $90 for in

structing 15 students on Monday afternoon. Last Friday, she earned $62 for working with 8 students. Lisa is also a skating instructor. She receives half the base amount that Mary does, but she is paid twice as much per student. Who would earn more money instructing a class of 20 students?

The expressions for the payment made to Mary are,
         (Monday)      90 = 15m + b
         (Tuesday)     62 = 8m + b
where m and b are the fee per student and the base fee, respectively. Solving for m and b, the values are 4 and 30. 
The equation that represents Mary's earning is 
                                    y = 4x + 30
 For 20 students,
                                    y = 4(20) + 30 = 110
For Lisa's earnings,
                                     y = 8x + 15
Substituting 20,
                                    y  =8(20) + 15 = 175
Thus, Lisa would earn more than Mary by $65.

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

\frac{16}{195}

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain the result of a fractions multiplication we need to multiply both numerators and the divide by the multiplication of the denomitators. In general, given a,b,c,d real numbers with b and d not zero, we have that

\frac{a}{b}*\frac{c}{d}=\frac{a*c}{b*d}

Substituting a,b,c and d for 8,15,2 and 13 we obtain that

\frac{8}{15}* \frac{2}{13} =\frac{16}{195}

II. Identify the following terms described in each item. Quantitative & Qualitate. It can be separated into different catego
guajiro [1.7K]

It is a branch of mathematics that deals with the collection, organization presentation, analysis, and interpretation of data.​

1. C. Discrete

2. A. interval

3. B. Quantitative data

4. B. Ratio

5. C. Quantitative

1. A random variable is called discrete if it has either a finite or a countable number of possible values.

A random variable is called continuous if its possible values contain a whole interval of numbers.

2. The third level of measurement is the interval level of measurement. The interval level of measurement not only classifies and orders the measurements but also specifies that the distances between each interval on the scale are equivalent along the scale from low interval to high interval.

3. Quantitative data consist of numerical measurements or counts.

4. Something measured on a ratio scale has the same properties that an interval scale has except, with a ratio scaling, there is an absolute zero point. Temperature measured in Kelvin is an example.

There is no value possible below 0 degrees Kelvin, it is absolute zero.

5. Qualitative data can be separated into different categories that are distinguished by some non-numeric characteristics.

The common ratio of a geometric series is 3 and the sum of the first 8 terms is 3280.
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

The first term of the geometric series is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are tasked with calculating the first term of a geometric series, given the common ratio, and the sum of the first 8 terms.

Mathematically, the sum of terms in a geometric series can be calculated as;

S = a(r^n-1)/( r-1)

where a is the first term that we are looking for

r is the common ratio which is 3 according to the question

n is the number of terms which is 8

S is the sum of the number of terms which is 3280 according to the question

Plugging these values, we have

3280 = a(3^8 -1)/(3-1)

3280 = a( 6561-1)/2

3280 = a(6560)/2

3280 = 3280a

a = 3280/3280

a = 1
