Answer:
Fifth-grade detective Mickey Rangel feels like a stuck pig at a barbecue when Mrs. Abrego calls him down to her office; what could he be on the hot seat for? When Mrs. A starts talking about the rash of graffiti that has recently tarnished the school, Mickey frantically rushes to protest his innocence. Mrs. A talks him down; she knows he didn’t do it, but maybe he can figure out who did. Mickey dubs this miscreant the Mischievous Marker and finds a major clue in the latest graffiti message: “Our Principle’s no ‘pal’ of nobodies!” Top-notch speller Mickey notices the problems right away. At lunch that day, when Mickey sees his lifelong archnemesis, Bucho, giving Mickey’s twin brother, Ricky, a hard time, he imagines how sweet it would be if he could prove that the troublemaker Bucho was the Magic Marker Mischief Maker. And if not him, then who? Mickey will need to question more persons of interest and nail down the timeline to crack the case. The brief, fast-moving mystery appears first in English, then Spanish, in Villarroel’s translation. Saldaña's prose is peppy, and his mystery, while quickly solved, hammers home a solid grammar lesson as a bonus.
Though he’s no teacher’s pet, Mickey’s smarts make him a welcome protagonist.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: he hiked 5.6 miles up the canyon.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent his speed hiking uphill.
His speed running downhill was 2.8 mph greater than his speed hiking uphill. This means that his speed running downhill would be x + 2.8
Distance = speed × time
Kevin hiked up Lamb’s Canyon in 2 hours. This means that the distance covered by hiking uphill is 2 × x = 2x
He ran back downhill in 1 hour. This means that the distance covered by running downhill is 1 × (x + 2.8) =
x + 2.8
Since the distance uphill is the same as the distance downhill, then
2x = x + 2.8
2x - x = 2.8
x = 2.8
Therefore, the distance hiked up the canyon is
2x = 2 × 2.8 = 5.6 miles
Answer:
Not completely sure but I think 9
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to solve this equation, you would need to first multiply m by 2 to get 2 m. 3/2=1.5; 1.5*2 =3. 3/9 simplifies to 1/3
Then you would want to solve. So, you would need to divide 2 by 1/3 which would give you 9.
Answer:
$467.05
Step-by-step explanation:
By getting a discount of 20%, it means he pays 100-20=80% of the initial price
80% is same as 0.8
Price after discount will be
0.8*$562=$449.6
Taxation is then subjected to the discounted price. With tax rate of 6% which is equivalent to 0.06 then the total prive incurres will be 106% of the discounted price, same as 1.06
Final price inclusive of tax
1.06*$449.6=$476.576
Since his credit gives 2% discount of everytging then he only pays 98% of the price inclusive of tax
Payable amount
0.98*476.576=467.04448
Rounded off as $467.05
