Answer:
$7.10
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: We make the assumption that 35.5 is 100% since it is our output value.
Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with $x$.
Step 3: From step 1, it follows that $100\%=35.5$.
Step 4: In the same vein, $x\%=20$.
Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:
$100\%=35.5(1)$.
$x\%=20(2)$.
Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS
(left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have
Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields
Hope this helps <3
Here we have 2 variables we need to calculate:
x - how many Volvos Jane sold
y - how many Volvos Melissa sold
We write system of equations:
x = 8*y
x - y = 35
------------
8y - y = 35
7y = 35
y = 5
x = 8*5 = 40
Jane sold 40 cars.
Set this up as a ratio putting inches on top and feet on bottom. Then your first ratio would be 1/25 since 1 inch is the same as 25 feet. In between them goes an equals sign and the the other ratio has an x on top (because inches is what we are looking for) and the 1500 on the bottom. Cross multiply to solve for x:
1(1500) = x(25). Divide both sides by 25 to get 60
1. x^2 + x - 90
2. (x+10)(x-1)
3. x= -10 and 1
Answer:
5 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
Looking at your function (h(t) = -16t^2 + 48t + 160), I see that the peak height will be 196 feet, and that is achieved in 1.5 seconds.
h(1.5) = -16(1.5)^2 + 48(1.5) + 160
h(1.5) = -16(2.25)+ 48(1.5) + 160
h(1.5) = -36 + 48(1.5) + 160
h(1.5) = -36 + 72 + 160
h(1.5) = 36 + 160
h(1.5) = 196
Going down from that height, it would take 3.5 more seconds, so it would take 5 seconds in total
h(5) = -16(5)^2 + 48(5) + 160
h(5) = -16(25) + 48(5) + 160
h(5) = -400 + 48(5) + 160
h(5) = -400 + 240 + 160
h(5) = -400 + 400
h(5) = 0
