Answer:

580 yards long.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance of the walking tour is = 1 mile

Step 1

We have to convert 1 mile to yards

Therefore ,

1 mile = 1760 yards

Step 2

We are told that the group took a detour that was 300 yards shorter than half the distance of the tour.

The second step would be to find out how many yards is equal to half the distance of the tour.

Half the distance of the tour = 1/2 of a mile

And in step 1 we have converted whole distance of the tour to yards

= 1 mile = 1760 yards.

Hence, Half the distance of the tour = 1760 yards ÷ 2

= 880 yards.

Step 3

The group took a detour that was 300 yards shorter than half the distance of the tour.

This means mathematically,

Half the distance of the tour - 300 yards

= 880 yards - 300 yards

= 580 yards.

Therefore, the detour was 580 yards long.

In 2007, there were more than 8.14 million cars for sale. Over the next 3 years, the number of cars decreased by 23%. Write an e
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

c = 8.14 million×(0.9166)^t

4.83 million  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data:

  t = y - 2007

c₀ = 8.14 million

c₃  = 23 % less than c₁

Part 1. Calculate c₃

c₃ = c₀(1 - 0.23) = 0.77c₀

Part 2. Calculate r

      c₃ = c₀r^t

0.77c₀ = c₀r³

   0.77 = r³              Divided each side by c₀

         r = 0.9166     Took the cube root of each side

The explicit decay model is c = 8.14 million×(0.9166)^t

Part 3. Prediction

t = 2013 - 2007 = 6

c = c₀r^t = 8.14 million×(0.9166)⁶ = 8.14 million × 0.5929 = 4.83 million

The model predicts that there will be 4.83 million cars for sale in 2013.

Three more than twice the sum of a number and half the number equals 105. Which equation models this relationship?
AlekseyPX

Answer:2(x+1/2x)+3=105

Step-by-step explanation: that is how i got my answer. If not a similar answer i would go with 2x+3=3x+105.

You can automatically eliminate the first answer. The second one has a random 5, so eliminated. and the last one just isn't correct.
