For this, we can set up a proportion.
Their aim was 15000, so if they raised 100% of their goal, they wouldve raised exactly 15000.
They raised 557%, so how much did they make?

Proportion:

$15000 100%
$x 557%

Our expression would be x=$15000*557% divided by 100%, which would be $83550, so... a lot of money.

(we did an “x” formation with the proportion, ie “connected” x with 100, and “connected” 15k and 557. The number connecting to x is what we divide the equation by, and the other two are multiplied and then divided by the first number connecting to x. Otherwise we couldve calculated 557% of 15000 and gotten the same result. Whichever way is easier for you :) )

At a NASCAR racetrack, the distance per lap is 2 miles. Lou Lambert drives his car at a constant rate of 160 miles per hour. Ral
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

<em>24 minutes</em>

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Distance per lap = 2 miles

Speed of Lou Lambert = 160 miles/hr

Speed of Ralph Redding = 170 miles/hr

Speed difference between the two = 170 - 160 = 10 miles/hr

Therefore, we can say that <em>Ralph gains 10 miles in 60 minutes </em>over Lou<em>.</em>

We have to find the time in which Ralph will gain 2 laps i.e. 2 \times 2 = 4 miles.

Let us use unitary method to find the required time.

10 miles are gained by Ralph in 60 minutes

1 mile will be gained in \frac{60}{10} = 6\ minutes

4 miles will be gained in 6 \times 4 = <em>24 minutes</em>

Two ships leave from the same port. One travels west 84 miles and the other travels 62 miles north. Determine the distance betwe
Lerok [7]
The distance the ships traveled are like the legs of a triangle and the question wants to know the hypotenuse. To find the hypotenuse, use the pythagorean theorem. this is a^2 + b^2 = c^2, with a and b being the legs and c being the <span>hypotenuse.
</span>Plug in known values:
84^2 + 62^2 = c^2
Solve:
84^2 = 7056
62^2 = 3844
7056 + 3844 = c^2
7056 + 3844 = 10900
10900 = c^2
Now you just need to isolate c by finding the square root of both sides.
√10900 = 104.403
√c^2 = c

So c = 104.403, or just 104.40 when rounded to the nearest tenth.
And if c is 104.40, then that means the hypotenuse is 104.40.
And all of that basically means that the distance between the ships is 104.40 miles.
