A tortoise is walking in the desert. It walks at a speed of 5 meters per minute for 62.5 meters. For how many minutes does it wa

Sergio [31]

The question is asking for how many minutes it walks. Since it walks 5 meter per minute and walks 62.5 meters, you have to divide 62.5 by 5 to get how many minutes the tortoise walks. 62.5 divide by 5 is 12.5. in minutes, 0.5 is 30 seconds, therefore the tortoise walked for 12 minutes and 30 seconds or 12 1/2 minutes.

What is the difference of the polynomials?

Vilka [71]

Answer:

$8r^6s^3-5r^5s^4+r^4s^5+5r^3s^6$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to simplify;

$(8r^6s^3-9r^5s^4+3r^4s^5)-(2r^4s^5-5r^3s^6-4r^5s^4)$

We expand the bracket to obtain;

$8r^6s^3-9r^5s^4+3r^4s^5-2r^4s^5+5r^3s^6+4r^5s^4$

We now group the like terms to obtain;

$8r^6s^3-9r^5s^4+4r^5s^4+3r^4s^5-2r^4s^5+5r^3s^6$

We now simplify to get;

$8r^6s^3-5r^5s^4+r^4s^5+5r^3s^6$

The correct answer is C

At the movie theatre, child admission is $5.10 and adult admission is $9.00 .

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

$5.10 X +9.00 Y = 831.60$

We also know that for Wedneday we have two times tickets for adults compared to child so we have

$Y =2x$

And using this condition we have:

$5.10 X + 18 X = 831.60$

And solving for X we got:

$X= \frac{831.60}{23.1}=36$

So then the number of tickets sold for child are 36

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem we can set upt the following notation

X = number of tickets for child

Y= number of tickets for adults

And we know that the total revenue for Wednesday was 831.60. So then we can set up the following equation for the total revenue

$5.10 X +9.00 Y = 831.60$

We also know that for Wedneday we have two times tickets for adults compared to child so we have

$Y =2x$

And using this condition we have:

$5.10 X + 18 X = 831.60$

And solving for X we got:

$X= \frac{831.60}{23.1}=36$

So then the number of tickets sold for child are 36
