Answer:

117 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need an equation for the situation.  The number of miles is our unknown, x.  If she is charged 18 cents per mile, that can be expressed as .18x.  The flat rate, what she is charged regardless of how many miles she drives, is 18.95.  In other words, even if she drives 0 miles, she is still charged 18.95 for the rental of the car.  C(x) is the amount she will pay after the flat rate plus the number of miles she drives.  Therefore, our equation is:

C(x) = .18x + 18.95

If she can only spend 40, then we replace C(x) with 40 and solve for x, the number of miles:

40 = .18x + 18.95

Begin by subtracting 18.95 from both sides to get:

21.05 = .18x

Now divide both sides by .18 to get that

x = 116.9 miles

Rounding, we have that she can drive

117 miles

with the amount of money she has to spend on a rental car.

★ A random sample of nine walleye pike from Salty Lake gave the following weights rounded to the nearest pound.

3 | 4 | 11 | 6 | 5 | 7 | 6 | 2 | 4

<u><em>Find the range</em></u>

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

Before going to the question, let's review what range is:

Range is the difference between the greatest number and the least number in a data set. Finding range is pretty easy. All you need to do is find the greatest number and lowest number, and find the difference.

In this data set, you have the following numbers:

3 | 4 | 11 | 6 | 5 | 7 | 6 | 2 | 4

The greatest number is 11. The lowest number is 2. That means that the range is equal to:

Range = 11-2

Subtract:

11-2=9

★ The range is 9 ; range = 9

The length of a rectangle is 4 less than three times it’s width. The perimeter is 72 feet. Find the dimensions of a rectangle
ratelena [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

so let’s say x is the length.  Then the width will be 3x-4.  You add them together and multiply by two.  The perimeter is 72 so the equation equala 72.

Equation:

(x+3x-4)*2=72

(4x-4)*2=72

8x-8=72

8x=80

x=10

length:10

width:26
