Answer:

a) Buddy's Unit rate is 11 minutes per 1 mile.

Jovie's unit rate is 10 minutes and 30 seconds or 10.5 per 1 mile.

A unit rate is the amount per one unit.

b) 5 miles. Or if Buddy and Jovie count their miles separately then 10 miles together since each runs 5 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) A unit rate is the amount per one unit. At a grocery store, the unit rate is dollar cost per 1 unit bought. In a race, the unit race is the time it takes to one 1 mile.

Since Buddy can run 1/2 a mile in 5 minutes and 30 seconds, we can double his time for a full mile. 2*5 min is 10 minutes and 2*30 sec is 60 seconds or 1 minute. Buddy runs 11 minutes per mile.

Since Jovie can run 1/2 a mile in 5 minutes and 15 seconds, we can double the time for a full mile. 2*5 min is 10 minutes and 2*15 sec is 30 seconds. Jovie runs 10 minutes and 30 seconds per mile. This can also be written as 10.5 mins per mile.

b) Because we know how long it takes to run 1 mile, we can calculate how many miles can be run in a specific time frame by dividing it by the unit rate. An hour has 60 minutes. Divide 60 by Buddy's unit rate. 11 minutes per 1 mile. 11 divides into 60 to give 5.4545454....miles. We round up or down to the nearest mile to give 5 miles completed in 1 hour. If each runs 5 miles then together they run 10 miles.

A truck that can carry no more than 6600 lbs is being used to transport refrigerators and upright pianos. each refrigerator weig
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

(a). 300r + 425p ≤ 6,600

(b). No, it’s not considered overweight

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are to write an equation that shows the number of refrigerators and pianos the truck could carry.

Let the number of refrigerators be r and the number of pianos be p

By using their individual weights, the equation is as follows;

300r + 425p ≤ 6,600

To the second question, we want to consider if 10 refrigerators and 8 pianos are overload.

To get this, we simply multiply the number of each by their individual weights;

That would be;

300(10) + 425(8) = 3000 + 3,400 = 6,400 lbs

This is not considered overweight as it is less than 6,600 lbs

If ln(x^2-x-1)=0 , then x= ?
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

  x = -1 or 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking the antilog, you have the quadratic ...

  x^2 -x -1 = 1

  x^2 -x -2 = 0 . . . . subtract 1

  (x -2)(x +1) = 0 . . . factor

The values of x that make these factors zero are the solutions to the equation.

  x = 2  or  x = -1
