Alice should buy 1.36 kilograms of veal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

According to store's scale;

2.20 pounds = 1 kilogram

1 pound = \frac{1}{2.20}\ kg

As Alice wants to buy 3 pounds, therefore,

3 pounds = \frac{1}{2.20}*3\\

3\ pounds = \frac{3}{2.20}\\3\ pounds = 1.36\ kg

Alice should buy 1.36 kilograms of veal.

Disregarding wind resistance the distance a body falls from rest varies directly as th squares of the time it falls if a skydive
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

The skydiver will fall 1600 ft in 10 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Distance a body falls from rest varies directly as the squares of the time it falls </u>

Let distance = s    

      time = t

Therefore , s = k \times t^{2}

Given, the body falls 64 ft in 2 seconds.

Substituting in above equation,

64 = k \times (2)^{2}

64 = k \times (4)

 k  = \frac{64}{4}

 k = 16 ft/s^{2}

We have to find how much he will fall in 10 seconds.

s = k \times t^{2}

s = 16 \times 10^{2}

s = 16 \times 100

s = 1600 ft

1. Suppose that a theater charges a school group $4.50 per student to show a special film. Suppose that the theater's operating
elixir [45]

The functions I(x) and E(x) of the theatre's income and expenses are illustrations of linear functions.

<h3>The equation of the theatre's income</h3>

The theatre charges $4.50 per student.

Assume the number of students is x, the equation of the theatre's income would be:

I(x) = 4.5x

<h3>The equation of the theatre's expenses</h3>

The theatre expense per student is $1.25, and the operating cost on the staff is $130

The equation of the theatre's expenses would be:

E(x) = 1.25x + 130

<h3>Complete the table</h3>

Using the formulas I(x) = 4.5x and E(x) = 1.25x + 130, the complete table is:

Students, x  0       10        20     30      40      50      60    70

Income, I      0      45        90     135     180    225    270   315

Expenses, E 130  142.5   155    167.5   180   192.5   205  217.5

<h3>The graph of the theatre's income and expenses</h3>

See attachment

<h3>The pattern by which theatre's income and expenses increase</h3>

The functions I(x) and E(x) are linear functions.

So, the pattern with which the functions increase is a linear pattern.

<h3>The number of students when the theatre's income and expenses are equal</h3>

This means that:

I(x) = E(x)

So, we have:

4.5x = 1.25x + 130

Subtract 1.25 from both sides

3.25x = 130

Divide both sides by 3.25

x = 40

Hence, the number of students is 40

<h3>The theatre profit</h3>

This is the difference between the theatre expenses and their income.

So, we have:

P(x) = E(x) - I(x)

This gives

P(x) = 1.25x + 130 - 4.5x

Simplify

P(x) = 130 - 3.25x

<h3>Solution to the inequalities</h3>

We have:

E(x) < 255

This gives

1.25x + 130 < 255

Subtract 130 from both sides and divide by 1.25

x < 100 students

Also, we have:

I(x) > 675

This gives

4.5x > 657

Solve for x

x > 146 students

Hence, the number of students for the inequalities are less than 100 and greater than 146
