Answer:

Samantha: 28, Wilbert: 32, Zahir: 36.

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference of 2 ratio units corresponds to a difference of 8 years, so each ratio unit stands for 4 years.

The ratio of ages in years is ...

... 4×7 : 4×8 : 4×9 = 28 : 32 : 36

Two people are driving to work at different constant speeds. The graph below shows the distance traveled over time by driver 1.
Luden [163]

Answer:

5 mph

Step-by-sep explanation:

To find of out the difference between the speed of the two drivers in miles per hour (not in miles per minute), first, calculate the unit rate or speed of driver 1 using the graph, and driver 2 using the table given.

Unit rate/speed = distance travelled/time = y/x.

Speed of Driver 1/unit rate:

The graph shows 1.5 miles (y) is travelled in 2 minutes (x).

Convert the 2 minutes to hour, you will have:

\frac{2}{60} = \frac{1}{30} hr

Speed in mph = \frac{y}{x} = \frac{1.5}{\frac{1}{30}} = 1.5*\frac{30}{1} = 45

Speed of Driver 1 in mph = 45 mph

Speed of Driver 2/unit rate:

The table shows 2.5 miles (y) is travelled in 3 minutes (x).

Convert the 3 minutes to hour, you will have:

\frac{3}{60} = \frac{1}{20} hr

Speed in mph = \frac{y}{x} = \frac{2.5}{\frac{1}{20}} = 2.5*\frac{20}{1} = 50

Speed of Driver 2 in mph = 50 mph

Difference between the speed of the two drivers = 50 - 45 = 5 mph

A pair of shoes costs $45.95. There is 9.5% sales tax on it. How do you estimate the total bill to check for reasonableness?
natka813 [3]
Take 10% of $50, which is $5, and add it to the price of the shoes.

5 + 50 = 55

The total bill should be somewhere around $55.

A publishing company is going to have 24000 books printed. There are between 3 and 4 books out of every 3000 printed that will h
olga_2 [115]

Given:

 

24,000 books

Between 3 and 4 books will have a printing error in every 3000 printed books

 

 

Find: in the 24000 books, the total number of books that will have a printing error

 

Solution:

 

Based from the given, we need to know how many sets of 3000 we

have in the 24000 books so:

 

24000 / 3000 = 8

 

Now, in each set of 3000 we have between 3 and 4 errors and we have 8 sets of 3000 books:

 

minimum errors 3 * 8 = 24

maximum errors 4 * 8 = 32

 

Therefore, at this rate, the number of books that will have a printing error in the 24000

<span>will be between 24 and 32 or 24 < E < 32.</span>
