The person will make $588 for 42 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Per hour pay = $12.00

Twice pay = 12.00*2 = $24.00

Total time = 42 hours

According to given statement;

For the first 35 hours, they pay will be $12.00 and more than that $24.00

42 hours can also be written as;

42 hours = 35 hours + 7 hours

Pay for 35 hours = $35*12.00=\$420$

Pay for additional 7 hours = $7*24.00=\$168$

Total pay for 42 hours = Pay for 35 hours + Pay for 7 hours

Total pay for 42 hours = 420+168 = $588

The person will make $588 for 42 hours.

On the River current a canoe traveled 30 km in 3 hours and 20 min, against the current the canoe traveled 28 km in 4 hours. how

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

12 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x km/h = speed of the canoe on the lake

y km/h = speed of the current

With the current:

Speed = x + y km/h

Distance = 30 km

Time = 3 hours 20 minutes = $3\dfrac{1}{3}$ hours

Thus,

$30=3\dfrac{1}{3}(x+y)\\ \\30=\dfrac{10}{3}(x+y)\\ \\90=10(x+y)\\ \\x+y=9$

Against the current:

Speed = x - y km/h

Distance = 28 km

Time = 4 hours

Thus,

$28=4(x-y)\\ \\x-y=7$

Add these two equations:

$x+y+x-y=9+7\\ \\2x=16\\ \\x=8\ km/h$

On the lake:

Time = 1.5 hours

Speed = 8 km/h

Distance $=8\cdot 1.5=12\ km$

Rewrite 5 − 6 using the additive inverse and display the new expression on a number line.

Serggg [28]

Additive inverses are numbers that when added to another number equal 0. The additive inverse of 5 is -5 and the additive inverse of 6 is -6. Therefore, the new expression is -5-(-6) or -5+6.
