Hello.

The mathematical concept of this problem is basic once you get down to it. The question asks, "How many times more minutes does Shawn listen to than Greg?"

Remember the "How many" rules:
· "How many more" suggests subtraction
· "How many times" suggests division

Let's also take a look at our opening sentence: "For every 9 minutes of music Shawn listens to, Greg listens to 4 minutes of music." This means we can set it up as a fraction, as we have the phrase "For every" in our sentence. So, let's do that.

\frac{9}{4} is our fraction;
To simplify, we need to divide our numerator (the number on the top) by our denominator (the number on the bottom).
9 / 4 = 2.5

This is our rate, or how many times more music Shawn listens to than Greg.

Your answer is: "Shawn listens to 2.5 times more music than Greg."

I hope this helps!

The population of Brazil was 162,300,000 in 1995. It was growing at a rate of about 2% per decade. Predict the population, to th
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

The population is 168,900,000 to the nearest hundred thousand

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are tasked with calculating the population of Brazil given its population in 1995 and her growth rate per decade.

Mathematically, we use an exponential function to calculate this population.

This can be written as P = I(1 + r)^n

where P is the population in 2015 which we are looking for,

I is the initial population which is 162,300,000

r is the rate of increase per decade given as 2% = 2/100 = 0.02,

n is the number of times between the years we are expecting this growth. The difference between the years 2015 and 1995 is 20 years which signifies 2 decades(1 decade is 10 years). Thus our n is 2

We plug these values into the equation above;

P = 162,300,000(1+0.02)^2

P = 162,300,000(1.02)^2

P = 168,856,920 which is 168,900,000 to the nearest hundred thousand

Genius question: A long level railway bridge passes over a railroad track, which is 100 feet below it and at right angles to it.
nataly862011 [7]

Answer: <u>110 feet per second</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we will assume that the car at 45 miles per hour is moving into the x direction with a high of 100 feet, and the train is going in the y direction, so they trajectories will made an angle of 90º.

Now we can calculate the speed of the trains in feet per second so:

S1=\frac{45*5280}{3600}=66

S2=\frac{60*5280}{3600}=88

So we can make a right triangle with sides 66 and 88 and the hypotenuse will be the rate that the trains will separate per second so:

h=\sqrt{66^{2} +88^{2} } =\sqrt{4356+7744}

h=\sqrt{12100}=110

Is important to have in mind that the initial high is not going to change how fast the trains will separate, however, if we are going to calculate the distance we should have it in the calculations.

slava [35]

Answer:

Add x x and 0 0 . Since g(f(x))=x g ( f ( x ) ) = x , f−1(x)=x+7 f - 1 ( x ) = x + 7 is the inverse of f(x)=x−7 f ( x ) = x - 7
