Liam is making barbecue ribs over a fire. The internal temperature of the ribs when he starts cooking is 40°F. During each hour

of cooking, the internal temperature will increase by 25%. The ribs are safe to eat when they reach 165°F.
Use the drop-down menus to complete an inequality that can be solved to find how much time, t, it will take for the internal temperature to reach at least 165°F.

Answer: You need to wait at least 6.4 hours to eat the ribs.

t ≥ 6.4 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial temperature is 40°F, and it increases by 25% each hour.

This means that during hour 0 the temperature is 40° F

after the first hour, at h = 1h we have an increase of 25%, this means that the new temperature is:

T = 40° F + 0.25*40° F = 1.25*40° F

after another hour we have another increase of 25%, the temperature now is:

T = (1.25*40° F) + 0.25*(1.25*40° F) = (40° F)*(1.25)^2

Now, we can model the temperature at the hour h as:

T(h) = (40°f)*1.25^h

now we want to find the number of hours needed to get the temperature equal to 165°F. which is the minimum temperature that the ribs need to reach in order to be safe to eaten.

So we have:

(40°f)*1.25^h = 165° F

1.25^h = 165/40 = 4.125

h = ln(4.125)/ln(1.25)  = 6.4 hours.

then the inequality is:

t ≥ 6.4 hours.

Answer:

y = 10 + 2.50h

$25

Step-by-step explanation:

first the equation is written as such because she pays $10 no matter how many hours she rides. She also pays 2.50 for each hour so use h as the variable to define number of hours she rides the bike.

since equation is y = 10 +2.50h

and h = 6 hours, substitute and find the total cost

y = 10 + 2.50(6)

= 10 + 15

= $25

The power P produced by a wind turbine is directly proportional to the cube of the wind speed S. A wind speed of 37 miles per ho
vfiekz [6]

Answer:the output for a wind speed of 40 miles per hour is 810.8 kilowatts.

Step-by-step explanation:

The power P produced by a wind turbine is directly proportional to the cube of the wind speed S. This means that

P is directly proportional to S

Introducing a constant of proportionality, k, it becomes

P = kS

A wind speed of 37 miles per hour produces a power output of 750 kilowatts. This means that

750 = k × 37

k = 750/37 = 20.27

The expression becomes

P = 20.27S

Therefore, the output for a wind speed of 40 miles per hour would be

P = 20.27 × 40

P = 810.8

Angle A and angle B are complementary. m Angle A = 54 and M angle B = 2x+2. What is the m angle B
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

m=17

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary means they add to equal 90 degrees.

1) 90-A=36

2)36=2x+2

3) Subtract 2 from both sides, 34=2x

4) Divide by 2 17=x
