Answer:

She went on the slide 8 times and on the roller coaster 4 times

Step-by-step explanation:

We convert each statements to a mathematical equation.

Firstly, let's represent the number of times she went on the coaster with R and the number of times on the slide with S. We know quite well she went on 12 rides. Hence the summation of both number of times yield 12.

Mathematically, R + S = 12. ........(i)

Now we also know her total wait time was 3hours. Since an hour equals 60 minutes, her total wait time would equal 180 minutes.

To get a mathematical representation for the wait time, we multiply the number of roller coaster rides by 25 and that of the slides by 10.

Mathematically, 25R + 10S = 180 .......(ii)

Here we now have two equations that we can solve simultaneously.

From equation 1 we can say R = 12 - S. We can then substitute this into equation 2 to yield the following:

25(12 - s) + 10s = 180

300 - 25s + 10s = 180

300 - 25s + 10s = 180

300 - 15s = 180

15s = 300 - 180

15s = 120

S = 120/15

S = 8

S = 8 , and R = 12 - S = 12 - 8 = 4

The diameter of your bicycle wheel is 34 inches. How far will you move in one turn of your wheel? What is the distance covered i
irga5000 [103]
In one turn of the wheel, you will move the circumference of the wheel. To find the circumference, you just do π × diameter, so π × 34 = 106.8 inches. In 5 turns, you will just go 5 times the circumference, so you multiply by 5 to get 534.1 inches. I hope this helps!

A local charity is selling seats to a baseball game. Seats cost $24 each, and snacks cost an additional $6
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

To raise exactly $240, the charity needs to sell 20 snacks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

s = number of seats sold

y = number of snacks sold

Seats cost $24 each, then s seats cost $24s.

Snacks cost an additional $6 each, then y snacks cost $6y.

In total, s seats and y snacks cost $(24s+6y).

The charity needs to raise $240 to consider this event a success, so

24s+6y=240

If 5 seats are sold, then

24\cdot 5+6y=240\\ \\120+6y=240\\ \\6y=240-120\\ \\6y=120\\ \\y=20

To raise exactly $240, the charity needs to sell 20 snacks.

To solve this problem graphically, plot the graph of the line 24s+6y=240 and find on this line point with s-coordinate 5. This is exactly point (5,20), so the charity needs to sell 20 snacks.

Which operation will solve the following word problem? Jeff earns $14.00 per hour, Tom earns half as much as Jeff. How much does
disa [49]

Answer:

The correct option is (d).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Jeff earns $14.00 per hour.

Tom earns half as much as Jeff.

We need to find the amount earn by Tom per hour.

Tom's amount = Jeff's amount/2

So,

T=\dfrac{14}{2}\\\\T=\$7

So, Tom earn $7 per hour. Hence, division operation is used. Jeff's amount is divided by 2.
