First walk=descend of 1024 feet in 17 minutes
second walk=descend of 500 feet in 7 minutes

so in total she descended 1024+500=1524 feet in 7+17=24 minutes
as an average rate this equals 1524/24=63.5 feet/minute descended
or an average rate of -63.5 feet/minute in altitude (note the minus)

Melanie's room measures 10 ft by 12 ft. Her rug covers 90 ft². Explain how to determine the percent of floor covered by the rug.
Inessa [10]

\huge \bf༆ Answer ༄

Here's the solution ~

Area of floor is ;

{ \qquad{ \sf{ \dashrightarrow}}}  \:  \: \sf \:10 \times 12

{ \qquad{ \sf{ \dashrightarrow}}}  \:  \: \sf \:120 \: ft {}^{2}

Area covered by rug is ;

{ \qquad{ \sf{ \dashrightarrow}}}  \:  \: \sf \:90 \: ft {}^{2}

So, the percentage of floor covered by rug is ~

{ \qquad{ \sf{ \dashrightarrow}}}  \:  \: \sf \: \dfrac{90}{120}  \times 100

{ \qquad{ \sf{ \dashrightarrow}}}  \:  \: \sf \: \dfrac{3}{4}   \times 100

{ \qquad{ \sf{ \dashrightarrow}}}  \:  \: \sf \:3 \times 25

{ \qquad{ \sf{ \dashrightarrow}}}  \:  \: \sf \:75  \%

Answers:

5. 296

6. 479

7. 801

For 5-8, you add the 2 numbers. Line up the numbers by their place value.

For 9, it says she starts with $233. She worked for 6 hours today. She makes $8 for every hour. First, you have to find how much she made today. 6 hrs times $8 for every hr is $48. In total, she has $281 because we added the amount she starts with, and the amount she earned today.
