The equation is 12x = 15,000 and the answer is x = 125. 125 is how many rides you use so 15,000 people get to ride.

Answer: a) The least number of rides needed for 15000 people is 1250.

b) No

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of people an amusement park holds = 12 people per ride.

Number of people is needed for the least number of rides = 15000

Let the number of rides be 'x'.

a) So, our inequality will be

$12x$

Hence, the least number of rides needed for 15000 people is 1250.

b) Do you think it is possible for 15,000 to ride the thrill ride in 1 day? Explain.

Since there is 1250 rides, and

If we assume that the amusement park is open for 8 hours.

Then, each ride takes

$\frac{1250}{8\times 60}\\\\=3.47\ minutes$

But each rides takes atleast 5 minutes.

So, it is not possible to ride the thrill ride in 1 day.

Alecia walked 3/10 of a mile from school,stopped at the grocery store on the way, then walked another 4/10 of a mile home.Georgi

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

Alecia lives farther from school

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Georgia</em>

we know that

The distance from the school to her home is 67/100 of a mile

$\frac{67}{100}=0.67\ miles$

<em>Alecia</em>

we know that

The distance from the school to her home is

3/10 of a mile plus 4/10 of a mile

$\frac{3}{10}+\frac{4}{10}=\frac{7}{10}=0.7\ miles$

Compare the distances

$0.7\ miles>0.67\ miles$

therefore

Alecia lives farther from school

Which system of equations can be graphed to find the soultion(s) to x^2=2x+3

Elanso [62]

Answer:

$\left \{ {{y=x^2} \atop {y=2x+3}} \right.$

Step-by-step explanation:

The system would be:

$\left \{ {{y=x^2} \atop {y=2x+3}} \right.$

And I attached the graph. The system will have 2 solution (The 2 intercepts between the curves)

it rained nine days in the month of april .based on this ,what is the probaility that is does not rain on the first day of may?

attashe74 [19]

<h3>Answer: 7/10</h3>

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

Explanation:

There are 30 days in April. Since it rained 9 of those days, the empirical probability of it raining in April is 9/30 = (3*3)/(3*10) = 3/10.

If we assume that the same conditions (ie weather patterns) hold for May, then the empirical probability of it raining in May is also 3/10. By "raining in May", I mean specifically raining on a certain day of that month.

The empirical probability of it not raining on the first of May is therefore...

1 - (probability it rains)

1 - (3/10)

(10/10) - (3/10)

(10-3)/10

7/10

We can think of it like if we had a 10 day period, and 3 of those days it rains while the remaining 7 it does not rain.
