According to the Tristate Transportation Authority, making certain improvements to the main commuter rail line would increase ri

dership dramatically. The authority plans to finance these improvements over the course of five years by raising automobile tolls on the two high-way bridges along the route the rail line serves. Although the proposed improvements are indeed needed, the authority’s plan for securing the necessary funds should be rejected because it would unfairly force drivers to absorb the entire cost of something from which they receive no benefit.
Which of the following, if true, would cast the most doubt on the effectiveness of the authority’s plan to finance the proposed improvements by increasing bridge tolls?


(A) Before the authority increases tolls on any of the area bridges, it is required by law to hold public hearings at which objections to the proposed increase can be raised.

(B) Whenever bridge tolls are increased, the authority must pay a private contractor to adjust the automated toll-collecting machines.

(C) Between the time a proposed toll increase is announced and the time the increase is actually put into effect, many commuters buy more tokens than usual to postpone the effects of the increase.

(D) When tolls were last increased on the two bridges in question, almost 20 percent of the regular commuter traffic switched to a slightly longer alternative route that has since been improved.

(E) The chairman of the authority is a member of the Tristate Automobile Club that has registered strong opposition to the proposed toll increase.

Answer:

Options A and B are true

(A) Before the authority increases tolls on any of the area bridges, it is required by law to hold public hearings at which objections to the proposed increase can be raised.

B. (B) Whenever bridge tolls are increased, the authority must pay a private contractor to adjust the automated toll-collecting machines.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. In a developed society, it's imperative for the authority to hold public hearings with stake holders to air their views before the tolls are increased, this would enable the authority to carry out proper assessment to know both the positive and negative impact of increasing the toll.

B. Increasing the tolls implies that there must be adjustment in the automated tolling machines and this would incur cost on the authority, this contract would be executed by private contractors.

A cup of raw Arborio rice weighs 7 ounces. One cup will serve 1 people. Arborio rice is purchased in 2-pound boxes for $1.99. Ho
kow [346]

The rice will cost $17.6  for serving 40 people

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

We need to determine the cost of serving 40 people with rice

Arborio rice is purchased in 2-pound boxes for $1.99

The price of 1 pound box will be \frac{\$ 1.99}{2}=\$ 0.995

1 Pound (lb) is equal to 16 ounces (oz)

Therefore, the price of 16 ounces is  $0.995

A cup of raw Arborio rice weighs 7 ounces and it serve 1 people

\begin{array}{l}{\text { The cost per person is } \frac{\$ 0.995}{16} \times 7=\$ 0.44} \\\\ {\text { The cost for serving } 40 \text { people }=\$ 0.44 \times 40=\$ 17.6}\end{array}

Therefore rice will cost $17.6  for serving 40 people

AveGali [126]

Answer:

208 ⅓ ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

1⅞ = 15/8 inches ÷ 12

= 5/32 feet on map

Actual = 5/32 × 80

= 25/2 feet

2½ = 5/2 inches ÷ 12

= 5/24 feet on map

Actual = 5/24 × 80 = 50/3

Actual area:

25/2 × 50/3

= 625/3 ft²

= 208 ⅓ ft²
