Answer:

The equation that can be used to determine m, the number of minutes it will take the helicopter to reach the  hospital is 172 \times (\frac{m}{60} ) = 80.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a medical rescue helicopter is flying at an average speed of 172 miles per hour toward its base hospital. At 2:42 p.m., the helicopter is 80 miles from the hospital.

As we know that the Distance-Speed-Time formula is given by;

                           \text{Distance} = \text{Speed}\times \text{Time}

Here, Distance = 80 miles

          Speed = 172 miles per hour

          Time = m (the number of minutes)

Firstly, as we can see that the speed is in miles per hour but the time is in minutes, so we will convert the time in hours, i,e;

           Time = \frac{\text{m}}{60} \text{ (in hours)}

So,  \text{Distance} = \text{Speed}\times \text{Time}

       80 = 172 \times (\frac{\text{m}}{60})

       \text{m} = \frac{80 \times 60}{172}

       m = 27.91 ≈ 28 minutes.

Hence, it will take 28 minutes for the helicopter to reach the  hospital.

A bookstore costs $96 a day to keep open, and it spends $12 for each book that it sells. If each book sells for $18, what is the
asambeis [7]

Answer: The break even point is when they have sold 16 books and have made $288

Step-by-step explanation:  The costs are modeled in the equation y = 12x + 96.  x is the number of books sold.

The earnings are modeled by he equation y = 18x.

Substitute 18x for y and solve for x.

18x = 12x + 96  Subtract 12x from both sides.

6x = 96 Divide both sides by 6

x = 16

Substitute into the original equations to solve  for y

y = 12(16) + 96

y = 192 + 96

Y = 288

y = 18(16)

y = 288

at the local baseball diamond,the distance from home base to second base is 100 feet. Determine the distance from home base to f
Archy [21]

Answer:

  70.7 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle formed by home plate, first base, and second base is an isosceles right triangle with hypotenuse 100 ft. Then the side length (base-line distance between bases) is (100 ft)/√2 ≈ 70.7 ft.

___

For an isosceles right triangle with side lengths 1, the hypotenuse can be found from the Pythagorean theorem to be ...

  hypotenuse = √(side² + side²) = √(1²+1²) = √2

Then the diamond distances satisfy the proportion ...

  hypotenuse/side = 100 ft/(base distance) = √2/1

or ...

  base distance = (100 ft)/√2 ≈ 70.71068 ft

If the cost of a dress is $75.00 and
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

80%

Step-by-step explanation:

Original price =$75.00

Sale price =$60.00

The percentage discount can be calculated by dividing the sale price by the original price multiplied by 100%.

So % discount = $60.00/$75.00 x 100%

0.8 x 100%

80%

Janelle got the dress on a discount of 80%.

This is so because she got the dress for a price less than the original price

Mrs.Cranston bought five bottles of water for $0.90 each and 8 pounds of meat. She paid a total of $26.90 for these items, not i
Morgarella [4.7K]
Water = 5 bottles * $0.90 = $4.50
meat = 8 pounds * x amount.

Total = water + meat prices = $26.90
26.90 = $4.50 + 8x
22.40 = 8x
2.8 = x

The price per pound of meat is $2.80.
