A taxi charges a flat rate of $3.00, plus an additional $0.50 per mile. Carl will only take the taxi home if the cost is under $

10, otherwise he will take a bus. Carl is 15 miles from home. Explain how to write and solve an inequality to determine if Carl will take the taxi or a bus.

Answer:

No, Carl can't go by taxi, sadly, and because he is poor. How I know is by first, making an inequality to solve this problem.  Let the variable x be the number of miles. The first inequality would be 0.50x+3<10. I you plug x for 15, the inequality would be ($0.50 * 15) + $3 <  $10. We need a less than sign (<) because Carl says the price has to be under and not equal to. Then we have to simplify it by multiplying 0.50 by 15. When you do that, you will get $7.5. If you put that back to the inequality, then it would be $7.5 + $3 < $10. After you do simple math and add, you will know that Carl is short of money by 50 cents. This shows why Carl does not have enough money , and has to take the bus.

Let the variable x be the number of miles. Then the problem can be modeled with the inequality 0.5x + 3 < 10,="" in="" which="">x is the number of miles. To solve, first subtract 3 from each side, then divide each side by 0.5. The solution is x < 14.="" carl="" can="" travel="" less="" than="" 14="" miles,="" but="" he="" lives="" 15="" miles="" away,="" so="" he="" will="" take="" a="" bus,="" not="" the="">

2x-1<br> Evaluate the algebraic expressions for the given values of the variable
igor_vitrenko [27]
<span>An algebraic expression is an expression constructed from a number of constants and variables utilizing algebraic operations. These algebraic operations are addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and exponentiation. A constant is constant, so its value is unchanged. A variable changes based on the value provided. In the provided example, 2x-1, there are two constants, "2" and "1", and one variable "x." The algebraic operations utilized are multiplication and subtraction. In order to evaluate the value of the algebraic expression, the given value for the variable must be substituted for the variable x, and then the algebraic operations executed to obtain the answer. For instance, if you were told that the value of x in this case was 2, then you would substitute the value 2 for x and perform the described operations. Remember to follow the order of operations when evaluating an algebraic expression! 2x-1 for x=2 2(2) - 1 4 - 1 3 is the answer. Remember, even though the multiplication operation is not explicitly stated, it is implied that a constant attached to a variable (termed a coefficient) is multiplied with the value of the variable.</span>

Answer:

The Probability is 63.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to calculate the area of the circle and the area of the square

From the question, we can see that the square is of side 4 √2 cm

The area of the square is simply the square of its side length

We have this as 4√2 * 4√2 = 16 * 2 = 32 cm^2

The area of the circle can be calculated using the formula for the area of a circle, with the radius being 4 cm

So, we have the area of the circle as;

Pi * r^2

= 22/7 * 4 * 4 = 50.3 cm^2

so, to find the probability, we need to divide the area of the circle by the area of the square

we have this as;

32/50.3 = 0.6366

In percentage, we simply multiply by 100% to give

0.6366 * 100% = 63.66%

To the nearest tenth, this is 63.7%
