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="">

A mexican restaurant sells quesadillas in two sizes: a “large” 12 inch-round quesadilla and a “small” 6 inch-round quesadilla. W
Mumz [18]

Answer:

"half of the 12-inch quesadilla" is larger

Step-by-step explanation:

The "inch size" is the diameter of the circular quesadilla.

The area of circle is given by  \pi r^2

We also know radius is half of diameter.

<u>HALF OF 12-INCH QUESADILLA:</u>

12in diameter = 6 inch radius, the area is:

\pi(6)^2=36\pi

Half of this is:

\frac{36\pi}{2}=18\pi

<u>ENTIRE 6-INCH QUESADILLA:</u>

6 inch diameter means 6/2 = 3 inch radius

The area of this is:

\pi(3)^2 = 9\pi

<u>So, we can say that "half of the 12-inch quesadilla" is larger.</u>

<h2>54 units²</h2><h2 />

This is a compound shape. You can split it into x shapes. See Attachment

  • Rectangle - Red

Area of a Rectangle = L × B

L = 7

B = 6

7 × 6 = 42

<h3>42 units²</h3>

  • Triangle - Orange

Area of a Triangle = 1/2BH

B = 6

H = 1

1/2 × 6 × 1 = 3

<h3>3 units²</h3>
  • Triangle - Green

Area of a Triangle = 1/2BH

B = 3

H = 2

1/2 × 3 × 2 = 3

<h3>3 units²</h3>

  • Triangle - Blue

Area of a Triangle = 1/2BH

B = 2

H = 6

1/2 × 2 × 6 = 6

<h3>6 units²</h3><h3 /><h3>42 + 6 + 3 + 3 = 54</h3>
