Duane adds $5 to the piggy bank every other week.
Mick adds $2 to the piggy bank every week.

Duane adds $2.50 to the piggy bank every week.
Mick adds $2 to the piggy bank every week.

Every week, Duane and Mick put in a total of $4.50.

In x weeks, they have saved $45.00

In one week, they have saved $4.50
In x week, they have saved $45.00

We can make a proportion and solve it.

\frac{1}{4.5} = \frac{x}{45}

After cross multiplying we get

4.5x = 45

Solving for 'x' we get:

x = 10

Mick and Duane have been saving their money for 10 weeks

The have been saving for 10 weeks.

Given:
Duane = $5 every other week. meaning every 2 weeks
Mick = $2 every week
Amount Saved = $45

First, divide Duane's $5 by 2 to get his weekly contribution.
$5/2 = $2.50

let x be the number of weeks.

Duane + Mick = $45
2.50x + 2x = 45
4.50x = 45
4.50x/4.50 = 45/4.50
x = 10 weeks

to check:
2.50x + 2x = 45
2.50(10) + 2(10) = 45
25 + 20 = 45
45 = 45

Cathy lives in a state where speeders are fined $15 for each mile per hour over the speed limit. Cathy was given a ticket for $1
Simora [160]

Answer:

Cathy was driving at a speed of 67 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fined $15 for each mile per hour over the speed limit. Cathy was given a ticket for $105.

We solve this using a rule of three.

1 mile - $15

x miles - $105

Applying cross multiplication:

15x = 105

x = 105/5 = 7.

Cathy was 7 miles above the speed limit.

How fast was Cathy driving?

7 miles above the speed limit of 60 miles per hour, so 60 + 7 = 67 miles per hour.

Cathy was driving at a speed of 67 miles per hour.

Evaluate the triple integral.
Irina-Kira [14]

The definition of the set E gives you a natural choice for the limits in the integral:

\displaystyle \iiint_E y \, dV = \int_0^6 \int_0^x \int_{x-y}^{x+y} y \, dz \, dy \, dx

Computing the integral, we get

\displaystyle \iiint_E y \, dV = \int_0^6 \int_0^x y ((x+y)-(x-y)) \, dy \, dx = 2 \int_0^6 \int_0^x y^2 \, dy \, dx

\displaystyle \iiint_E y \, dV = 2 \int_0^6 \frac13 (x^3 - 0^3) \, dx = \frac23 \int_0^6 x^3 \, dx

\displaystyle \iiint_E y \, dV = \frac23 \cdot \frac14 (6^4 - 0^4) = \boxed{216}
