Answer:

10226 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the sea level, A horizontal imaginary line on the sea's surface.

-Given that Salton is -226 ft below this line and the mountain is 10000ft above sea. The difference between this elevetions is calculated as;

\bigtriangleup =Mountain \ Peak-Sea \ bottom\\\\=10000-(-226)\\\\=10000+226\\\\=10226

Hence, the difference between the two elevations is 10226 ft

One person can do a certain job in 15 minutes and another person can do the same job in 30 minutes. How many minutes will it tak
Flauer [41]

Hello! Your answer is B, 10 minutes.

Say the x = minutes taken to do the job. You can set up an equation like this to solve this.

\frac{1}{15} x + \frac{1}{30} x = 1

This is representative of the situation. The fractions each represent <u>how much each person does in a minute</u>, and when they're multiplied by x, that's <u>how much of the project they get done</u> based off of the minutes they work together on the job. Add the two together, and you get <u>how much of the project is finished in x amount of time</u>. Set it equal to 1, as you are looking for 100% completion.

Once you have this equation, find a common denominator, add, and solve.

\frac{1}{15} x + \frac{1}{30} x = 1

\frac{2}{30} x + \frac{1}{30} x = 1

\frac{3}{30}x = 1

\frac{1}{10}x = 1

x = 10

Therefore, it will take them 10 minutes to do the job together.

Hope this helps!

Maria is purchasing sandwiches for her team at work. Each sandwich costs $6.25 and there is a delivery fee of $15.00, all taxes
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

The maximum number of sandwiches she can buy is 24.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can create a function to represent the cost of her team's lunch in function of the number of people in the team. We have:

cost(x) = 15 + 6.25*x

Since she needs to stay on budget, the cost has to be less or equal to 170, therefore:

cost(x) \leq 170\\15 + 6.25*x \leq 170\\6.25*x \leq 170 - 15\\x \leq \frac{155}{6.25}\\x \leq 24.8

Since she can't buy 0.8 sandwiches, the maximum number of sandwiches she can buy is 24.
