Jocab will take 4 more weeks to buy that MP3 player.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given:

Cost of MP3 player = $ 195

Earning per week = $ 225

Expenses per week = $ 180

To Find:

Weeks still required to save money for buying MP3 player.

Formula to be used:

Savings per week = Earning - Expenses

Solution:

Savings per week = Earning - Expenses

                              = $ 225 - $ 180     = $ 45

Already saved = $ 55

Need to save = $ 195 - $ 55 = $ 140

So for 4 weeks savings = $ 45 × 4 = $ 180

Thus Jocab will take 4 more weeks to buy that MP3 player.

A carton has a length of 2 2/3 feet, width of 1 1/3 feet, and a height of 1 1/2. What is the volume of the carton? A( 4 cubic fe
notsponge [240]

Answer:

The volume of the carton is 5 1/3 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A carton has a length of 2 2/3 feet, width of 1 1/3 feet, and a height of 1 1/2.

The dimensions can be rewritten as

Length of carton =2 2/3 = 8/3 converting to improper fraction).

width of 1 1/3 feet = 4/3 feet

and a height of 1 1/2= 3/2 ,feet

volume of the carton = length of the carton × width of the carton × height of the carton

Volume of carton = 8/3 ×4/3 × 3/2

= 96/18 cubic feet

Converting to mixed fractions, we have

96/18= 5 1/3 cubic feet

A construction firm is trying to decide which of two models of a crane to purchase. Model A costs $90,000 and requires $4,000 pe
liraira [26]
Let's say hmm let's use the figures in thousands, so
model A costs 90 + 4 per year, so... ok.. after "t" years, then the cost for model A is then 90 + 4*t, or A = 90 + 4t.

now, model B is 70 + 10 per year, so,... after "t" years, model B is then
B = 70 + 10 * t, or B = 70 + 10t.

if we were to assume A < B, namely the cost of A is less than B, what would the years be? namely, what's "t"?

\bf A\ \textless \ B\implies 90+4t \ \textless \  70 + 10t\implies 90-70 \ \textless \  10t-4t&#10;\\\\\\&#10;20 \ \textless \  6t\implies \cfrac{20}{6}\ \textless \ t\implies \cfrac{10}{3}\ \textless \ t\implies 3\frac{1}{3}\ \textless \ t&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\textit{3 years and }\frac{1}{3}\textit{ or \underline{3 years and 4 months}}

after that period, then A becomes cheaper than B.

Two sides of an obtuse triangle measure 9 inches and 14 inches. The length of longest side is unknown. What is the smallest poss
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

17 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

An obtuse triangle is the triangle in which one of the side is the longest. It contains an obtuse angle and the longest side is the side that is opposite to the vertex of the obtuse angle.

Let the three sides of the obtuse triangle be a, b and c respectively with c as the longest side. Let a = 9 inches and b = 14 inches.

Now we know that for an obtuse triangle,

$c^2 > a^2 +b^2$

$c^2 > (9)^2 +(14)^2$

$c^2 > 81 +196$

$c^2 > 277$

c > 16.64

Therefore the smallest possible whole number is 17 inches.
