B.) 10x-5 is equivalent to 6x – 5 + x + 3x
Answer: The average age is 7.1 years.
This problem is an example of when we need to take a weighted average. We simply can't just find the average of 5 and 8, because there are different children of each each.
To start, lets multiply the total number of children by their individual ages.
6 x 5 = 30 years
14 x 8 = 112 years
There are 142 years among the 20 years, so divide 142 by 20. This gives us an average age of 7.1 years.
Answer:
6.3 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The ladder lying on the wall with an elevation of 39° forms a right angled triangle.
Hypotenuse = length of ladder = 10 ft
Opposite = x = ?
θ = 39°
Use trigonometric ratio formula to find, x, which is how far the ladder goes up the wall.
The trigonometric ratio formula to use is:
sin(θ) = opposite/hypotenuse
Sin(39) = x/10
Multiply both sides by 10
10*sin(39) = x
x = 10*sin(39)
x = 6.29 ≈ 6.3 ft (to nearest tenth)
Double-time for overtime...so overtime pay is 2(8.50) = 17
40(8.50) + 9(17) = 340 + 153 = 493 <== pay for the week
