What is 12 hours made into minutes
OleMash [197]
12 hours converted into minutes is: 720 minutes

We know that 1 hour is converted into 60 minutes, so to get 12 hours converted into 720 minutes, multiplication comes in handy when doing this. 

Every hour includes of 60 minutes each. Times the 12 hours you're converting with 60 minutes. 

12 × 60 = 720

Tanya runs a catering business. Based on her records, her weekly profit can be approximated by the function LaTeX: f\left(x\righ
Shtirlitz [24]

The function

2x^2-44x-150

is a parabola concave up, whose solutions are

2x^2-44x-150=0 \iff x^2-22x-75=0

from here, you can use the quadratic formula

x_{1,2} = \dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

to find that the solutions of the parabola are -3,\ 25

So, the parabola is positive if x (which wouldn't make sense in our case) or x

So, if Tanya caters 25 meals she breaks even, and starting with the 26th meal she will begin to profit.

Two ladders are leaning against a building, forming two similar triangles as shown below. The top of the longer ladder is 28 fee
postnew [5]

Answer:

The length of the longer ladder is 35 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Please check the attachment for a diagrammatic representation of the problem

We want to calculate the length of the longer ladder ;

We make reference to the diagram

Since the two right triangles formed are similar. the ratios of their sides are equal;

Thus;

20/15 = 28/x + 15

20(x + 15) = 15(28)

20x + 300 = 420

20x = 420-300

20x = 120

x = 120/20

x = 6

So we want to calculate the hypotenuse of a right triangle with other sides 28ft and 21 ft

To do this, we use the Pythagoras’ theorem which states that square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the two other sides

Let the hypotenuse be marked x

x^2 = 28^2 + 21^2

x^2 = 1,225

x = √1225

x = 35 ft
