"The absolute value of a number" just means how far a number is from 0. This means that any negative numbers inside absolute value lines are just the positive form of that number. Think of it this way: -15 is 15 away from 0, so the absolute value of -15 is 15. If you have a positive number inside the absolute value lines, it stays the same. The number 13 is 13 away from 0, so the absolute value of 13 is just 13. Now that you know how to find the absolute value of a number, all you have to do is find the absolute values of the listed numbers. The simplified forms of the listed numbers should all be positive numbers. The last thing to do is easy! Just put the numbers you got in order from greatest to least.

At a birthday party, Vivian counts 15 vanilla ice cream cups and 25 chocolate ice cream cups. Which properties can be used to de

o-na [289]

Answer:

62.5 %

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage, p of the ice cream that is chocolate is p = total number of chocolate ice cream cups/total number of ice cream cups × 100%

Given that there are 25 chocolate ice cream cups and 15 vanilla ice cream cups, total number of ice cream cups = 25 + 15 = 40

So, p = total number of chocolate ice cream cups/total number of ice cream cups × 100%

p = 25/40 × 100%

p = 25/4 × 10 %

p = 6.25 × 10 %

p = 62.5 %

Two cyclists, Alan and Brian, are racing around oval track of length 450m on the same direction simultaneously from the same poi

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Alan: 200 m/min

Brian: 150 m/min

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Two cyclists, Alan and Brian, are racing around oval track of length 450m on the same direction simultaneously from the same point. Alan races around the track in 45 seconds before Brian does and overtakes him every 9 minutes.

To find : What are their rates, in meters per minute?

Solution :

Let n represent the number of laps that Alan completes in 9 minutes.

Then n-1 is the number of laps Brian completes.

45 seconds = 3/4 minutes.

The difference in their lap times in minutes per lap is

$\frac{9}{(n -1)}-\frac{9}{n} =\frac{3}{4}$

Solving the equation we get,

$\frac{9n-9n+9}{n(n -1)} =\frac{3}{4}$

$9\times 4=3\times n(n -1)$

$36=3\times n(n -1)$

$n^2-n-12=0$

$n^2-4n+3n-12=0$

$n(n-4)+3(n-4)=0$

$(n-4)(n+3)=0$

$n=4,-3$

Neglecting n=-3

So, n=4

Then Alan's speed in m/min is

$S=\frac{D}{T}$

$S_a=\frac{4\times 450}{9}$

$S_a=200 m/min$

Brian completes 3 laps in that 9-minute time, so his rate is

$S_b=\frac{3\times 450}{9}$

$S_b=150 m/min$

Therefore, Alan: 200 m/min

Brian: 150 m/min

Find 2 consecutive positive even integers such that the product of the 1st and 2nd is 2 less than 5 times the 3rd. Use an algebr

Aloiza [94]

Assume the smaller one is x, then the other ones will be x+2 and x+4

x(x+2) + 2 = 5(x+4)

x^2 + 2x - 5x - 18 = 0

-> x^2 - 3x - 18 = 0

-> (x-6)(x+3) = 0

-> x = 6 or -3, since x must be positive, then x = 6

So the numbers are: 6, 8, 10

Calculate the pay for the following day of a weekly time card given a wage of $12.50/hr.

Elenna [48]

The one day pay is $106.25 rounded to the nearest hundredth.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table shown :

The timing shown in the morning is from 8:00 to 12:15
The number of hours worked in the morning = 4 hours 15 minutes.

It is given that, the pay is $12.5 per hour.

Therefore, the pay earned in the morning = No.of hours × pay per hour.

⇒ 4 hours × 12.5 = $50

⇒ (15 mins / 60 mins) × 12.5 = $3.125

⇒ 50+3.125

⇒ 53.125

The timing shown in the afternoon is from 8:00 to 12:15
The number of hours worked in the morning = 4 hours 15 minutes.

Therefore, the pay earned in the afternoon = No.of hours × pay per hour.

⇒ 4 hours × 12.5 = $50

⇒ (15 mins / 60 mins) × 12.5 = $3.125

⇒ 50+3.125

⇒ 53.125

The pay for 1 day = pay earned in the morning section + pay earned in the afternoon section.

⇒ 53.125 + 53.125

⇒ 106.25

∴ The one day pay is $106.25 rounded to the nearest hundredth.
