First, add together the costs for buying their own stuff. 250+135+69+25=479.

Then figure for the professional costs. Put it in perspective of a year. 45*11+75=570. 

Then subtract. Professional- DIY. 570-479=91. 

$91 is about 2 months worth of work. So a year has 12 months.

12-2=10

Answer:10 months

Professional Service Option Do-It-Yourself Option:

First month lawnmower = $250

Initial visit = $135

Price for mowing and edging = $69

Price for lawn and bushes trimming = $ 25

Hence, total cost becomes = 250+135+69+25 = $479

Professional service cost for 1 month lawnmower = $75

Professional cost for visit for 11 months (1st visit costs $135) = $45

Total cost for 11 months = 45*11 = $495

Total professional cost = 495+75 = $570

Now, subtracting the professional cost and do it yourself cost we get;

$570-$479=$91. 

This $91 is for 2 months worth of work. Hence, months needed to recover costs = 12-2 = 10 months

Hence, the answer is 10 months.

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

The height of the tent = 3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Question

Syrus is buying a tent with the dimensions shown below. The volume inside the tent is 36 feet^3. Syrus isn't sure if the tent will be tall enough for him to sit up inside. The tent is the shape of triangular prism whose length is 6 feet and width is 4 feet. What is the height of the tent?

Given:

Length of the tent = 6 feet

Width of the tent = 4 feet

Volume of the tent = 36 feet^3

To find the height of the tent.

Solution:

Since the ten is in shape of triangular prism, so the volume of traingular prism is given as:

V=\frac{1}{2}\times l\times w\times h

where l represents length, w represents width and h represents height of the prism.

Plugging in the know values of the dimension of the tent and the volume to find the height of the tent.

36=\frac{1}{2}\times 6\times 4\times h

Simplifying.

36=12h

Dividing both sides by 12.

\frac{36}{12}=\frac{12h}{12}

3=h

∴ h=3

Thus, the height of the tent = 3 feet

Jay wants to make a box, with no lid (or top), out of a 10" x 6" rectangular piece of cardboard. If Jay cuts squares with dimens
LiRa [457]

Answer:

a.V(x)=x(10-2x)(6-2x)

b.S(x)=4(15-x^2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimensions of rectangular piece of cardboard=10\times 6

According to question

Length of box,l=10-2x

Breadth of box,b=6-2x

Height of box,h=x

a.

Volume of box=l\times b\times h

Substitute the values in the formula

Volume of box=x(10-2x)(6-2x)

V(x)=x(10-2x)(6-2x)

b.Surface area of box=2(b+l)h+lb

Because the box has no lid

Substitute the values in the formula

Surface area of box=2(10-2x+6-2x)x+(10-2x)(6-2x)

Surface area of box=2(16-4x)x+60-20x-12x+4x^2

Surface area of box=32x-8x^2+60-32x+4x^2

Surface area of box=60-4x^2=4(15-x^2)

Surface area of box, S(x)=4(15-x^2)

What is the value of n in the equation 2.3 × 10 9power = (1 × 10 3power)(2.3 × 10n)
Amanda [17]
Hello,

2.3 x 10^9 = ( 1 x 10^3) ( 2.3 x 10^n) 

Solution:

Take the logarithm of both sides of the equation to remove the variable from the exponent. 

n=6
