The answers are 1) D. 43 items and 2) B. 58 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; An experienced cashier takes a time of 2 seconds per item and another 40 seconds for processing the customer's payment. So if it took 2 minutes 6 seconds which equals ( 2× 60 ) + 6 = 126 seconds for a customer. Out of these 126 seconds, the last 40 seconds were to process the customer's payment so 126 seconds - 40 seconds = 86 seconds. So it took 86 seconds to scan the items and as it takes 2 seconds per item we divide 86 by 2 to get the number of items. So 86 / 2 = 43 items which is option D.

Step 2; Anna brought 31 items and due to some glitch, the total time took 2 minutes. So for 31 items, it took the cashier 31 × 2 = 62 seconds, 1 minute 2 seconds. So out of the 2 minutes, 1 minute 2 seconds were used to scan the items. So the remaining time was 2 minutes (120 seconds) - 1 minute 2 seconds (62 seconds) = 58 seconds which was the processing time. So option B is the answer.

A weather balloon is descending from the atmosphere. Its altitude changes by
OlgaM077 [116]

The change in altitude after 135 seconds was a decrease of 810 meters, that is, -810 meters.

Given that a weather balloon is descending from the atmosphere, and its altitude changes by -6 meters every second, to determine what is the change in altitude after 135 seconds the following calculation must be performed:

  • Amount of time x change per second = total change
  • 135 x (-6) = X
  • -810 = X

Thus, the change in altitude after 135 seconds was a decrease of 810 meters, that is, -810 meters.

PLEASE SHOW YOUR WORK WITH YOUR ANSWER. Two bags had 50 kilograms of sugar each. After taking out 3 times as much sugar from bag
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Bag 1: 20

Bag 2: 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount taken out of bag 2

Then the amount left in each bag can be written as:

Bag 1: 50-3x

Bag 2: 50-x

Since we know that half of bag 2 is bag 1, that gives us:

50-3x = 1/2(50-x)

-> 50-3x = 25-x/2

Now lets isolate x and solve:

25 = 5x/2

-> 50 = 5x

-> x = 10

So plug x bag in for the original equations:

Bag 1: 50-3x = 50-3(10) = 20

Bag 2: 50-x = 50-10 = 40
