Jimmy brings $24 to the county fair for rides. Roller coaster rides cost $2, and the spinning cup rides cost $3. But Jimmy knows

that he gets queasy if he takes more than 6 roller coaster rides or more than 8 spinning cup rides. Let r represent the number of roller coaster rides and let s represent the number of spinning cup rides. In addition to r≥0;s≥0, which is a set of of inequalities that Jimmy can use to guide his choice of rides?

Answer:

2r + 3s ≤ 24

r ≤ 6

s ≤ 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Total amount with Jimmy = $24

Cost of Rollercoaster ride (r) = $2

Cost of spinning cup ride (s) = $3

Queasy if r is greater than 6

Queasy if s is greater than 8

Cost of ride :

(Number of r * cost of r) + (number of s * cost of s) ≤ total amount

Hence,

2r + 3s ≤ 24

To avoid getting queasy :

r ≤ 6

s ≤ 8

2r + 3s ≤ 24

r ≤ 6

s ≤ 8

Answer: 8

Step-by-step explanation: Because a is perpendicular to b, the value of 9x + 18 = 90. If we subtract 18 from both sides, it becomes 9x = 72. Divide by 9 on both sides to get 8

Why aren’t credit cards included in m1 or m2 definition of money?

mel-nik [20]

Credit cards are not considered to be part in the m1 and m2 definition of money. Because the M1 definition of money revolves around money which are in the hands of the public and written checks, while the M2 definition of money revolves around savings accounts, time deposits of under $100,000, and balances in retail money market mutual funds. Which also includes the M1 in the M2. While, the M3 definition of money refers to the balances in institutional money funds, repurchase accountabilities dispensed by depository establishments, and the Eurodollar. It also includes M1 and M2. Credit cards are not considered to be in M1 and M2 definitions of money, since credit cards becomes part of the money transaction only, during the payment of your credit card bill.

Mandy has 50 yards of fabric to make costumes for a play. She makes 12 skirts that take 3 yards each, and 9 hats that take 1 yar

Otrada [13]

50 yards. You are going to be taking away from that 50, so "50 -" should be part of the expression. This eliminates C.

12 skirts that take 3 yards each means 3 yards * 12 skirts which is 3 * 12. This is being subtracted from 50.
We also want to subtract 9 hats * 1 yard which is 9 * 1 = 9

Our expression will look like this: 50 - 12 * 3 - 9 * 1
or 50 - 12 * 3 - 9, which is D

Snow Dome Ski Resort has 75 inches of snow. It is currently snowing there at a rate of 1 inch per hour. Mt. Winterpark Ski Resor

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

a. See explanation for table

b. The 7th hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Ski Resort

$Base\ Snow = 75in$

$Rate = 1in$ hourly

Mt. Winterpark

$Base\ Snow = 68in$

$Rate = 2in$ hourly

First, we need to illustrate the amount of snow as an equation in both cases.

$Amount = Base\ Snow + Rate * Time$

Let x be number of hours. and y be the amount of snow

So:

Ski Resort

$y= 75 + 1* x$

$y= 75 + x$

Mt. Winterpark

$y= 68 + 2 * x$

$y= 68 + 2x$

Next, we make a table to show the data.

When $x = 0$

Ski Resort: $y = 75 + 0 = 75$

Mt. Winterpark: $y = 68 + 2(0) = 68$

When $x = 1$

Ski Resort: $y = 75 + 1 = 76$

Mt. Winterpark: $y = 68 + 2(1) = 70$

When $x = 2$

Ski Resort: $y = 75 + 2 = 77$

Mt. Winterpark: $y = 68 + 2(2) = 72$

When $x = 3$

Ski Resort: $y = 75 + 3 = 78$

Mt. Winterpark: $y = 68 + 2(3) = 74$

When $x = 4$

Ski Resort: $y = 75 + 4 = 79$

Mt. Winterpark: $y = 68 + 2(4) = 76$

When $x = 5$

Ski Resort: $y = 75 + 5 = 80$

Mt. Winterpark: $y = 68 + 2(5) = 78$

When $x = 6$

Ski Resort: $y = 75 + 6 = 81$

Mt. Winterpark: $y = 68 + 2(6) = 80$

When $x = 7$

Ski Resort: $y = 75 + 7 = 82$

Mt. Winterpark: $y = 68 + 2(7) = 82$

When $x = 8$

Ski Resort: $y = 75 + 8 = 83$

Mt. Winterpark: $y = 68 + 2(8) = 84$

When $x = 9$

Ski Resort: $y = 75 + 9 = 84$

Mt. Winterpark: $y = 68 + 2(9) = 86$

When $x = 10$

Ski Resort: $y = 75 + 10 = 85$

Mt. Winterpark: $y = 68 + 2(10) = 88$

Hence, the table is:

x ---- Ski Resort ---- Mt. Winterpark

0 --------75 ----------- 68

1 --------76 ----------- 70

2 --------77 ----------- 72

3 --------78 ----------- 74

4 --------79 ----------- 76

5 --------80 ----------- 78

6 --------81 ----------- 80

7 --------82 ----------- 82

8 --------83 ----------- 84

9 --------84 ----------- 86

10 -------85 ----------- 88

(b)

From the table, the amount of snow is the same at the 7th hour and the snow is 82 inches
