Answer:

Isha is at an arcade. There is a base fee of $6 to enter the game room. Every game costs $0.4 or 40 cents to play. If Isha ends up spending $56 at the arcade, how many games did she play?

An explanation:

The base fee of $6 represents the constant 6 in the equation. Every game costs $0.4, which equals 2/5.

Hope this helps! If you don't like this one I might be able to think of another one :)

Hey there! :)

Answer:

First part: 2 miles.

Second part: 45 minutes

Third part: 8 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can divide this question into 3 parts.

Begin by solving for the distance traveled after 15 minutes by creating a ratio:

$\frac{20 mi}{150min} = \frac{x}{15 min}$

Cross multiply:

20 · 15 = 150 · x

300 = 150x

300/150 = 150x/150

x = 2 miles.

2nd part: How long it took her to ride 6 miles.

Set up another ratio similar to the one used before:

$\frac{20 mi}{150min} = \frac{6mi}{x min}$

Cross multiply:

20 · x = 6 · 150

20x = 900

20x/20 = 900/20

x = 45 minutes.

3rd part:

For this part, we will need to convert from minutes to hours.

$\frac{20 mi}{150 min}* \frac{60 min}{1 hr} = \frac{1200mi}{150hr} = 8 mi/h$

Therefore, her speed is 8 mph.

Answer:

The order from greatest to least :

Project B > Project A > Project D > Project C

Step-by-step explanation:

Project A : A 20-inch by 15-inch blueprint with a scale of 1 inch to 4 feet and a projected cost of $22,000.

Scale factor = $\frac{1 inch}{4 feet}$

Length of the office building on blueprint = l =20 inch

Width of the office building on blueprint = b =15 inch

Real length of the office building on blueprint = L

= $\frac{1 inch}{4feet}=\frac{20 inch}{L}$

L = 80 feet

Real width of the office building on blueprint = B

$\frac{1 inch}{4feet}=\frac{15 inch}{B}$

B = 60 feet

Area of the building = $L\times B=80 ft\times 60=4800 ft^2$

Cost of project = $22,000

Cost of project per square foot = $\frac{\$22,000}{4800 ft^2}=4.58 \$/ft^2$

Project B : A 10-inch by 8-inch blueprint with a scale of 1 inch to 8 feet and a projected cost of $25,000.

Scale factor = $\frac{1 inch}{8 feet}$

Length of the office building on blueprint = l =10 inch

Width of the office building on blueprint = b =8 inch

Real length of the office building on blueprint = L

= $\frac{1 inch}{8feet}=\frac{10 inch}{L}$

L = 80 feet

Real width of the office building on blueprint = B

$\frac{1 inch}{8feet}=\frac{8 inch}{B}$

B = 64 feet

Area of the building = $L\times B=80 ft\times 64=5120 ft^2$

Cost of project = $25,000

Cost of project per square foot = $\frac{\$25,000}{5120 ft^2}=4.88 \$/ft^2$

Project C : A 15-inch by 12-inch blueprint with a scale of 1 inch to 6 feet and a projected cost of $27,000.

Scale factor = $\frac{1 inch}{6 feet}$

Length of the office building on blueprint = l =15 inch

Width of the office building on blueprint = b =12 inch

Real length of the office building on blueprint = L

= $\frac{1 inch}{6 feet}=\frac{15 inch}{L}$

L = 90 feet

Real width of the office building on blueprint = B

$\frac{1 inch}{6feet}=\frac{12 inch}{B}$

B = 72 feet

Area of the building = $L\times B=90 ft\times 72ft=6480 ft^2$

Cost of project = $27,000

Cost of project per square foot = $\frac{\$27,000}{6480ft^2}=4.17\$/ft^2$

Project D :An 8-inch by 6-inch blueprint with a scale of 1 inch to 12 feet and a projected cost of $30,000

Scale factor = $\frac{1 inch}{12 feet}$

Length of the office building on blueprint = l = 8 inch

Width of the office building on blueprint = b =6 inch

Real length of the office building on blueprint = L

= $\frac{1 inch}{12 feet}=\frac{8 inch}{L}$

L = 96 feet

Real width of the office building on blueprint = B

$\frac{1 inch}{12feet}=\frac{6 inch}{B}$

B = 72 feet

Area of the building = $L\times B=96 ft\times 72ft=6912 ft^2$

Cost of project = $27,000

Cost of project per square foot = $\frac{\$30,000}{6912ft^2}=4.34\$/ft^2$

Project B > Project A > Project D > Project C
