Mathematics
1 answer:
xxTIMURxx [149]3 years ago
4 0

<u><em>Answers:</em></u>

a. \frac{14}{3}=4.667 miles/day

b. 14 miles

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

<u>Part a:</u>

We are given that they paddled a total distance of 14 miles for 3 days. To get the distance paddled each day, we will divide the total paddled distance by the number of days

<u>This is done as follows:</u>

Distance paddled each day = \frac{14}{3}=4.667 miles/day

<u>Part b:</u>

<u>Now, we are given that:</u>

<u>i. They went half their daily distance:</u>

Daily distance = \frac{1}{2}*\frac{14}{3}=\frac{7}{3} miles/day

<u>ii. They extended the trip twice as many days</u>

Number of days = 2 × 3 = 6 days

The total distance paddled will be equivalent to the product of the distance paddled each day and the total number of days

<u>This means that:</u>

Total distance = \frac{7}{3}*6=14 miles

Hope this helps :)

Dwight deposits $150 into his new savings account. The account earns 5% interest compounded annually.
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

A=\$150(1.05)^{t}  

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that    

The compound interest formula for this problem is equal to  

A=P(1+r)^{t}  

where  

A is the Final Investment Value  

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested  

r is the rate of interest  in decimal

t is Number of Time Periods  in years

in this problem we have  

P=\$150\\ r=5\%=0.05  

substitute in the formula above  

A=\$150(1+0.05)^{t}  

A=\$150(1.05)^{t}

The length of a rectangular poster is 9 more inches than two times its width. The area of the poster is 161 square inches. Solve
irinina [24]

Answer:

<u>Width = 7 inches</u>

<u>Length = 23 inches</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

  • length = 2x + 9
  • width = x

Equating to area :

  • (2x + 9)(x) = 161
  • 2x² + 9x = 161
  • 2x² + 9x - 161 = 0
  • 2x² - 14x + 23x - 161 = 0
  • 2x(x - 7) + 23(x - 7) = 0
  • x - 7 = 0
  • x = 7

Dimensions are :

  • <u>Width = 7 inches</u>
  • Length = 2(7) + 9
  • <u>Length = 23 inches</u>

If EG = 59, and EF = 8x - 14, while FG = 4x + 1
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

EG = 59

EF = 8x - 14

FG = 4x + 1

to find the value of x

EF + FG = EG (same line)

8x - 14 + 4x + 1 = 59

12x -13 = 59

12x = 59 + 13

12x = 72

x = 72 ÷ 12

x = 6

You can even cross check for correct answer

EF + FG = EG

instead of x place the x's value we got

8x - 14 + 4x + 1 = 59

8 (6) - 14 + 4 (6) + 1 = 59

48 - 14 + 24 + 1 = 59

34 + 25 = 59

59 = 59

Give another name plane L
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

Any one of these three works:

plane MOU

plane MNU

plane NOU

Step-by-step explanation:

A plane can be named by a single letter, such as L in this problem, or by any three non-collinear points that lie on the plane. Non-collinear points are points that do not all lie in a single line.

Points M, N, O, and U lie on plane L, so you can choose any 3 of the 4 points to name the plane with, but make sure all 3 points are non-collinear.

To name plane L with points, you cannot use points MNO together since they are collinear, but you can name it using point U plus any two of the points M, N, and O.

plane L can be named

plane MOU

plane MNU

plane NOU

Do not name it plane MNO
