Answer:
1) Since AP/AB=PQ/BC, 6x/(3x+5)=x/1. Cross multiply the denominator and you will get 6x=(3x+5)*x. Simplifying it more and you are left with 3x^2-x=0
2) 3x^2-x=0. x(3x-1)=0. x=0 or x=1/3 but x=0 can't be a solution since it would make the figure absurd. x=1/3 cm
3) According to the figure PB=AB-AP=3x+5-6x=-3x+5.
PB=-3*(1/3)+5=4 cm
For number 6 its A. 4
For number 7 its B. -2/5
The percent change from 36 to 63 is 63/36=1.75 (multiply by 100 to get a percentage) 175%
The percent change from 63 to 36 is 36/63=0.571=57.1%
Answer:
<u>1. New York City:</u> The initial charge is $ 2.50 plus $ 0.50 per 1/5 mile when traveling above 12 mph or per 60 seconds in slow traffic or when the vehicle is stopped. There are other surcharges for overnight, rush hour or congestion.
<u>2. Boston:</u> First 1/7 Mile: $2.60 and each 1/7 Mile thereafter: $0.40.
<u>3. Houston:</u> First 1/11 mile $2.80
, each additional 1/11 mile $0.20
. Rate per mile after first mile $2.20 and wait time per minute $0.40.
Step-by-step explanation:
Normally, there's a standard fare for each city, so for answering the question we picked three well-known cities for comparing the fares.
