Answer:

The side length of of the base of the tank is 15 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Cost of the tank and filter system = $280

Perimeter of tank base = 60 inches

The perimeter of tank is in the shape of square.

We have to find the side length of the base of the tank.

Perimeter of tank base = Perimeter of square =

P = 4a\\\text{where a is the side of square}\\60 = 4a\\\Rightarrow a  = 15\text{ inches}

Thus, the side length of of the base of the tank is 15 inches.

An Uber fare in Columbus is $3.50 for the first ½ mile and additional mileage charged at a rate of $0.30 for each additional 0.1
Alina [70]

If we consider the first half mile to be charged at $0.30 per tenth also, that half-mile costs $1.50 and the charges amount to a fixed fee of $2.00 and a variable fee of $0.30 per tenth mile.

After you subtract the $2 tip and the fixed $2 fee from the trip budget amount, you have $11.00 you can spend on mileage charges. At 0.30 per tenth mile, you can travel

... $11.00/$0.30 = 36 2/3 . . . . tenth-miles

The trip is measured in whole tenths, so you can ride ...

... 36 × 1/10 = 3.6 miles

_____

If you want to see this in the form of an equation, you can let x represent the miles you can travel. Then your budget amount gives rise to the inequality ...

... 3.50 + 0.30((x -.50)/0.10) + 2.00 ≤ 15.00

... 3.50 + 3x -1.50 +2.00 ≤15.00 . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

... 3x ≤ 11.00 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms, subtract 4

... x ≤ 11/3 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

... x ≤ 3.6 . . . . . rounded down to the tenth
