The miles he traveled by plane is nine times greater than the miles traveled by automobile. If the total is 600 miles, then the total distance traveled by automobile would be 60 miles, making the total traveled by airplane 540 miles.

fomenos

Answer:

27 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let her work "x" hours for paperwork

Since, patrolling amount of hours is THREE TIMES that,

Patrolling = 3x hours

Total Hours = 36

That is including paperhour work (x) and patrolling (3x). So we can setup an equation in x and solve for x first:

x + 3x = 36

4x = 36

x = 36/4

x = 9 hours

Amount of Hours for Patarolling = 3x hours = 3(9) = 27 hours

So, she spends 27 hours patrolling

NARA [144]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • $137.90 more each month
  • $246.00 less total interest

Step-by-step explanation:

The amortization formula is ...

  A = P(r/12)/(1 -(1 +r/12)^(-12t))

for the monthly payment on principal P at annual rate r for t years. Here, we have P=3300, r = 0.14, and t=1, so the monthly payment is ...

  A = $3300(0.14/12)/(1 -(1 +0.14/12)^-12) ≈ $296.30

The payment of $296.30 is ...

  $295.30 -158.40 = $137.90 . . . more each month

The total amount paid is 12×$296.30 = $3555.60, so 255.60 in interest. This amount is ...

  $501.60 -255.60 = $246.00 . . . less total interest

A radioactive substance decreases in the amount of grams by one-third each year. If the starting amount of the
katovenus [111]

Answer:

The sequence is geometric. The recursive formula is a_{n}=2/3a_{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem, you have to calculate the amount of the substance left after the end of each year to obtain a sequence and then you have to determine if the sequence is arithmetic or geometric.

The substance decreases by one-third each year, therefore:

After 1 year:

1452-\frac{1}{3}(1452)

Using 1452 as a common factor and solving the fraction:

1452(1-\frac{1}{3})=1452(\frac{2}{3})=968

You can notice that in general, after each year the amount of grams is the initial amount of the year multiplied by 2/3

After 2 years:

968(\frac{2}{3})=\frac{1936}{3}

After 3 years:

\frac{1936}{3}(\frac{2}{3})=\frac{3872}{9}

The sequence is:

1452,968,1936/3,3872/9....

In order to determine if the sequence is geometric, you have to calculate the ratio of two consecutive terms and see if the ratio is the same for all two consecutive terms. The ratio is obtained by dividing a term by the previous term.

The sequence is arithmetic if the difference of two consecutive terms is the same for all two consecutive terms.

-Calculating the ratio:

For the first and second terms:

968/1452=2/3

For the second and third terms:

1936/3 ÷ 968 = 2/3

In conclussion, the sequence is geometric because the ratio is common.

The recursive formula of a geometric sequence is given by:

a_{n}=ra_{n-1}

where an is the nth term, r is the common ratio and an-1 is the previous term.

In this case, r=2/3

Franklin is cutting a 7 1/2 foot rope into 5 equal pieces. how long will each piece of rope be?
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

18 inches or 1 foot 6 inches/1 foot and a half

Step-by-step explanation:

one foot is 12 inches long so you take the number of feet given (7—we'll worry about the half later) and multiply by the number of inches that are in a foot (12)

7×12=84

then half a foot is 6 inches so 84+6=90 inches

then we take 90 and divide it by 5 (to get the length of one piece)

90/5=18 inches

you can keep it as 18 inches or convert it into feet which you subtract 12 from 18, and you have 6 inches left which is 1 foot and a half
