Answer: First half was 24 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the time taken to finish the second half be y.

Since the student used 2/3 of the second half time to finish the first half, first half = 2/3 × y = 2y/3

The entire exam is an hour which equals 60 minutes

First half + Second half = 60minutes

Note that first half is denoted as 2y/3 and second half is denoted by y.

2y/3 + y = 60

5y/3 = 60

Cross multiply

5y = 60 × 3

5y = 180

y = 180/5

y = 36

Second half took 36 minutes

Since first half is 2y/3, it will be:

(2×36) / 3

= 72/3

= 24minutes

First half took 24 minutes.

an airplane begins to descend for a landing. the elevation g (in feet) of the airplane is modeled by the function: g(t)= 4800-30
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

The y-intercept in this case is 4800

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line graph is ;

y = mx + c

with respect to the given equation in the question, the y-intercept in this case is 4,800

In this case the y-intercept represent the height from which the plane starts to descend

C=15x+150 R=45x liner equations by graphing
kirza4 [7]
For C=15x+150, divided both sides by 15 to isolate the variable. Graph both of the equations. R=45x is fine.

Does anyone know how to do this???

Answer:

The school will approximately raise 1500p.

Step-by-step explanation:

For part a) you're asked to complete the possibility space, this simply means to fill out in the provided chart with all possible outcomes for spinning the two spinners and adding the result of each.

You are already given two examples, particularly the case of landing a 2 and 1 (hence you get a 3) and landing a 8 and 3 (hence you get an 11). Just finish filling up the chart per the examples.

For part b) we must calculate the probability of having the outcome be 7. Assuming all sides of both spinners have the same probability of landing, we calculate this using classical probability so, as follows:

P(7)=\frac{n(7)}{n(all)}

Where P(7) represents the probability of getting seven, n(7) the number of ways the two spinners can land in which they add up to 7, and n(all) the number of all possible outcomes from spinning the two spinners. We are just doing the rule of "all favorable outcomes over all outcomes".

The total number of outcomes is 12, as there's only 12 ways the two spinners could land. The total number of ways we can get 7 is 3 (only by spinning 1 and 6, or 2 and 5, or 3 and 4). So, the probability of landing 7 is:

P(7)=\frac{n(7)}{n(all)}=\frac{3}{12}=\frac{1}{4}=.25

So, there's a 25% chance of getting a 7 (hence of winning at this game). This means, if 120 play, approximately a 25% of them will win - so, approximately 30 contestants will win.

The school is charging 20p for playing, so the 120 participants are paying 2400p. However, because approximately 30 people will win, the school will have to buy 30 lollipops that cost 30p each - so, at the end the school will raise approximately 2400p (total earnings of tickets) - 900p (total losses from people winning) = 1500p (total money raised).
