You are taking hang-gliding lessons. The cost of the first lesson is one and a half times the cost of each additional lesson. Yo
kow [346]
So, givens: total lesson cost of $260, total lessons taken are 6, and the first lesson costs 1.5 (or 3/2) as much as the additional lessons.

First thing to do is to figure out how many additional lessons are in that, which are 5.

Then you can make a 1 variable equation with the information you have. I’m using x as my variable.

260= 3/2x + 5x

Combine like terms.

260 = 13/2x

Divide both sides by 13/2 (treat it as a fraction, and if your calculator cannot make fractions, then decimal might help for this. 13/2=6.5)

The second on a watch is 14mm long. What area does it sweep through in 30 seconds
skad [1K]

Exact Area = 98pi  

Approximate Area = 307.8760800518 (use calculator stored version of pi)

Approximate Area = 307.72 (using pi = 3.14)

Units are in square millimeters

======================================================

Explanation:

In 60 seconds, the hand sweeps out a full circle of radius 14. The area of this circle is

A = pi*r^2 = pi*14^2 = 196pi

Half of this is what the hand sweeps out in 30 seconds, so A/2 = (196pi)/2 = 98pi is the exact area it sweeps out. Your calculator would then show 98pi = 307.8760800518 approximately

If instead you use pi = 3.14, then the approximate area is 98*3.14 = 307.72
