What is the unit rate​

Mathematics

Fittoniya [83]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A unit rate is a ratio that is used to compare different kinds of quantities. It describes how many units of the first type of quantity corresponds to one unit of the second type of quantity. Some common unit rates are miles/kilometers per hour, cost per item etc

Alternatively, A unit rate is a ratio between two different units with a denominator of one.

When we divide a fraction's numerator by its denominator, the result is a value in decimal form. Examples include 8 / 4 = 2 and 3 / 6 = 0.5. When we write numbers in decimal form, they could always be written as a ratio with one as the denominator. 2 could be written as 2 / 1, and 0.5 could be written as 0.5 / 1. However, that would just be clumsy and in the way, so we usually drop the one. However, it is important to know that it is there, especially with unit rates.

For the above ratios, if we were talking about 8 miles / 4 hours, dividing the two would give us 2 miles / hour. Notice again that we did not write or include the one, but that we did include the unit 'hour.' Miles / hour is familiar, as are unit rates such as revolutions / minute, salary / year, and interest / amount invested. Conversationally, the word 'per' indicates we are using a unit rate.

Write the quadratic equation whose roots are -3 and 2 , and whose leading coefficient is 5
KiRa [710]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, roots are - 3 & 2

Therefore, (x + 3) & (x - 2) would be factors.

Leading coefficient is 5

Hence, required quadratic equation is:

5(x + 3)(x - 2) = 0 \\   \therefore \:  5( {x}^{2}  - 2x + 3x - 6)  = 0\\  \therefore \:  5( {x}^{2}  + x - 6)  = 0\\ \therefore \: 5 {x}^{2}  + 5x - 30  = 0\:  \\ is \: the \: required \:   quadratic \: equation.

The lovin lemonade company sells a 4 gallon jug of lemonade for $24 the sweet and sour company sells an eight pack of 1 quart bo
lbvjy [14]
One way to compare is to find the price per gallon.
$24 for 4 gallons = 24÷4 = $6 per gallon

8 pack of 1 qt bottle give you 2 gallons (4qts= 1 gallon)  So you get 2 gallons for $16
$16 ÷ 2 = $8.00 per gallon.  Sweet and Sour has the higher unit price.
Even if we compare the price per quart we will get the same answer as to who is selling it at the higher unit price.
4gal for $24 = 16 quarts for $24  ( 1 gallon = 4 qts)
$24 ÷ 16 = $1.50 each (1\frac{1}2})
vs.
 8 quarts for $16  $16 ÷ 8 = $2.00 per qt.  Sweet and sour still has the higher unit price

A small resort is situated on an island that lies exactly 3 miles from P, the nearest point to the island along a perfectly stra
Artemon [7]

Answer:

The distance from the  shoreline from P the pipe from the island will reach land in order to minimize the total construction cost is 0 m, or the pipe should be routed to the point P

Step-by-step explanation:

We note that, cost to lay pipe in water = 2.3 × cost to lay pipe on land

Distance of the small resort on the island from point p on the shoreline = 3 miles

Location of the closest source of fresh water is 10 miles along the shoreline from p

∴ The small resort, the point p and the closest source of the fresh water on the shoreline together form a right triangle with sides

Height = 3 miles

Base = 10 miles and

Hypotenuse = \sqrt{3^2 + 10 ^2} = \sqrt{109} =  10.44 \, m

To find the cost of laying the pipeline by the various route, we multiply the water routes by 2.3 and the land routes by 1 and we get

Costs:

Height =  Water route = 2.3 × 3 miles = 6.9

Base = Land route = 1 × 10 miles = 10

Hypotenuse = Water route = 2.3 × 10.44 miles = 24.012

Therefore, the two routes are either

10 miles to point p and 3 miles across the water to the resort with a cost = 10 + 6.9 = 16.9 or

Directly to the small resort through 10.44 miles across the water with cost = 24.012

Therefore, to minimize cost, the pipe should come from the resort to P from there to the fresh water source.

That is the distance from the  shoreline from P the pipe from the island will reach land in order to minimize the total construction cost = 0 m.
