Answer:

A)

15 hours

B)

108 hours

C)

2074.29 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Under the assumption the earth is a perfect circle, then in one complete rotation about its axis ( 24 hours) the Earth will cover 360 degrees or 2π radians.

A)

In every 24 hours the earth rotates through 360 degrees ( a complete rotation). We are required to determine the length of time it will take the Earth to rotate through 225 degrees. Let x be the duration it takes the earth to rotate through 225 degrees, then the following proportions hold;

(24/360) = (x/225)

solving for x;

x = (24/360) * 225 = 15 hours

B)

In 24 hours the earth rotates through an angle of 2π radians (a complete rotation) . We are required to determine the length of time it will take the Earth to rotate through 9π radians. Let x be the duration it takes the earth to rotate through 9π radians, then the following proportions hold;

(24/2π radians) = (x/9π radians)

Solving for x;

x = (24/2π radians)*9π radians = 108 hours

C)

If the diameter of the earth is 7920 miles, then in a day or 24 hours a point on the equator will rotate through a distance equal to the circumference of the Earth. Using the formula for the circumference of a circle;

circumference = 2*π*R = π*D

                         = 7920*3.142

                         = 24891.43 miles

Therefore a point on the equator covers a distance of 24891.43 miles in 24 hours. This will imply that the speed of the earth is approximately;

(24891.43miles)/(24 hours) = 1037.14 miles/hr

The distance covered by the point in 2 hours will thus be;

1037.14 * 2 = 2074.29 miles

A sweater is on sale for 20% off. A jacket is on sale for 15% off. The sale price for each item is $34.00. Which item cost more
SashulF [63]

The sweater cost more originally. It costs $2.50 more from jacket.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Discount rate of sweater = 20%

Sale price of sweater = (100-20)% = 80%

Discount rate of jacket = 15%

Sale price of jacket = (100-15)% = 85%

Sale price of each item = $34.00

Let,

x be the original price of sweater.

y be the original price of jacket.

80% of x = 34

\frac{80}{100}x=34\\0.80x=34

Dividing both sides by 0.80

\frac{0.80x}{0.80}=\frac{34}{0.80}\\x=42.50

The original price of sweater is $42.50

85% of y = 34

\frac{85}{100}y=34\\0.85y=34

Dividing both sides by 0.85

\frac{0.85y}{0.85}=\frac{34}{0.85}\\y=40

The original cost of jacket is $40

Difference = 42.50 - 40 = $2.50

The sweater cost more originally. It costs $2.50 more from jacket.

So first you will need to multiply 9 by 4. You get 36. Now you need to add the 10 percent and you get 39.6! That's the answer!
