<h3>The total money earned by Rita on Monday   = $158</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate by which  Rita is paid first 8 hours  = $16

The next per hour rate after 8 hours = 1\frac{1}{2}    = 1.5 times the usual rate.

Now, 1.5 times $16 = 1.5 x 1 6 =  $24

So, for each hour worked after 8th hour, Rita is paid $24 per hour.

Now, the intervals she has worked are:

(a) from 8:15  to 12: 45 pm

So, the number of hours worked  =  45 minutes + 45 minutes  + 3 hours  

= 4 hours 30 minutes  .... (1)   (as 60 minutes = 1 hour)

(b) break of 45 minutes after 12: 45  = 12: 45 + 45 minutes  

= 12 hour 90 minutes  = 1 :  30 P M

So, she started working at 1: 30 and worked till 6: 15

So, the number of hours worked  =  30 minutes + 15 minutes  +4 hours  

= 4 hours 45 minutes  .... (2)  

So, by adding (1) and (2) the total hours worked by Rita  

= 4 hours 30 minutes + 4 hours 45 minutes    

= 8 hours  75 minutes  = 9 hours 15 minutes

9 hours  15 minutes   = ( 8 +  1 .25 )     ( 15 minutes = 0.25 of an hour)

So, the payment is ( 8 x (16) +  1.25 (24) )  

= 128 +  30  = 158

Hence, the total money earned by Rita  = $158

Find the constant of proportionality for the table of values.
Anna [14]

The constant of proportionality k is 3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportionality describes any relationship that is always in the same

ratio

If two quantities x and y are in proportionality, then

1. y ∝ x

2. y = k x , where k is the constant of proportionality

∵ x ⇒    6    ,    7      ,    8    ,    9

∵ y ⇒    21   ,   24.5 ,    28  ,    31.5  

∵ y ∝ x

∴ y = k x

- Use x = 6 and y = 21 to find the value of k

∵ x = 6 and y = 21

∴ 21 = k (6)

- Divide both sides by 6

∴ k = 3.5

- Use x = 7 and y = 24.5 to find the value of k

∵ x = 7 and y = 24.5

∴ 24.5 = k (7)

- Divide both sides by 7

∴ k = 3.5

- Use x = 8 and y = 28 to find the value of k

∵ x = 8 and y = 28

∴ 28 = k (8)

- Divide both sides by 8

∴ k = 3.5

- Use x = 9 and y = 31.5 to find the value of k

∵ x = 9 and y = 31.5

∴ 31.5 = k (9)

- Divide both sides by 9

∴ k = 3.5

The constant of proportionality k is 3.5

Please Help.....................................................

There are 13 protons because the atomic number (the number in the top left corner) represents the number of protons. Then, to find the number of neutrons, you take the number of protons and subtract it from the atomic mass (the number on the bottom) when it is rounded. The number of electrons is the same as the protons when the atom is neutral

Why is math important “?
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Without math, how would we know how to count seconds minutes, etc.?

Math is extremely important for knowing how to do simple things like cooking, you need to know for how much time to put something in the oven or microwave or stove. Those are just the basics. There is a lot more stuff out there that math is used for.
