Answer:

Rebecca and Dan need to ride 7\frac{9}{20}\ hrs. on the third day in order to achieve goal of biking.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Goal of Total number of hours of biking in park =20 hours.

Number of hours rode on first day = 5\frac34 \ hrs.

So we will convert mixed fraction into Improper fraction.

Now we can say that;

To Convert mixed fraction into Improper fraction multiply the whole number part by the fraction's denominator and then add that to the numerator,then write the result on top of the denominator.

5\frac34 \ hrs. can be Rewritten as \frac{23}{4}\ hrs

Number of hours rode on first day = \frac{23}{4}\ hrs

Also Given:

Number of hours rode on second day = 6\frac45 \ hrs

6\frac45 \ hrs can be Rewritten as \frac{34}{5}\ hrs.

Number of hours rode on second day = \frac{34}{5}\ hrs.

We need to find Number of hours she need to ride on third day in order to achieve the goal.

Solution:

Now we can say that;

Number of hours she need to ride on third day can be calculated by subtracting Number of hours rode on first day and Number of hours rode on second day from the Goal of Total number of hours of biking in park.

framing in equation form we get;

Number of hours she need to ride on third day = 20-\frac{23}{4}-\frac{34}{5}

Now we will use LCM to make the denominators common we get;

Number of hours she need to ride on third day = \frac{20\times20}{20}-\frac{23\times5}{4\times5}-\frac{34\times4}{5\times4}= \frac{400}{20}-\frac{115}{20}-\frac{136}{20}

Now denominators are common so we will solve the numerator we get;

Number of hours she need to ride on third day =\frac{400-115-136}{20}=\frac{149}{20}\ hrs \ \ Or \ \ 7\frac{9}{20}\ hrs.

Hence Rebecca and Dan need to ride 7\frac{9}{20}\ hrs. on the third day in order to achieve goal of biking.

The value of a small airplane depreciates exponentially every year after it is purchased. The value, in thousands of dollars, a(
ratelena [41]

Using an exponential function, it is found that the number 131.5 represents the initial value of the plane, in thousands of dollars.

<h3>Exponential function:</h3>

A decaying exponential function is modeled by:

A(t) = A(0)(1 - r)^t

In which:

  • A(0) is the initial value.
  • r is the decay rate, as a decimal.

In this problem, the function for the value of the airplane after t years is given by:

A(t) = 131.5(0.8)^t

Hence A(0) = 131.5, which means that the number 131.5 represents the initial value of the plane, in thousands of dollars.

Eva is at a sushi restaurant. She ordered 2 pieces of squid for a total of $3.50, 1 piece of eel for $3.25, 3 pieces of tuna for
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

squid, crab, tuna, eel

Step-by-step explanation:

Just make each sushi piece into an equation, then solve it.

For example, for the squid: (s stands for squid)

2s = 3.5\\ s=1.75      Divide both sides by 2 to get "s" by itself

Eel: (e stands for eel)

e = 3.25

Tuna: (t stands for tuna)

3t=6.75\\ t=2.25   Divide both sides by 3 to get "t" by itself

Crab: (c stands for crab)

4c=8\\ c=2       Divide both sides by 4 to get "c" by itself

**Then order from least to greatest**

Susan charges $8 per hour walking her neighbor’s dog. She charges $12 per hour babysitting. Part A: Define the variables. Part B
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

the total she earns with "d" hours of dog walking and "b" hours of babysitting is given by:  8 d + 12 b

Step-by-step explanation:

If we use "d" to represent the number of hours that Susan walks the dog, and we define "b" as the number of hours she babysits, then the expression that represents the amount she earns by walking the dog is: $8 times d = 8 d

Similarly, the amount she earns by babysitting is $12 times b = 12 b

Then the total she earns with "d" hours of dog walking and "b" hours of babysitting is:  8 d + 12 b
