Answer:

10.4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Write an equation for the total cost paid as a function of the # of miles driven:

L(x) = $6.75 + ($3.20/mile)x

and set this equal to $40.03 to determine the # of miles Lupita rode:

L(x) = $6.75 + ($3.20/mile)x = $40.03

Isolate the x term by subtracting $6.75 from both sides:

($3.20/mile)x = $40.03 - $6.75 = $33.28

Finally, divide both sides by  ($3.20/mile):

x = $33.28 /  ($3.20/mile)

  =  10.4 miles

Lupita rode 10.4 miles in the taxi.

A student designed this sculpture. Using the dimensions on the sculpture, find the dimensions of each rectangular prism. Then ca
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Prism Y

Height = 12in

Length = 6in

Width = 4in

Volume  = 288in^3

Prism Z

Height = 18in

Length =10in

Width = 10in

Volume = 1800in^3

Total = 2088in^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for sculpture

Solving (a) The dimension and volume of Y

From the attachment

Height = 18 - 6

18 in is the height of Z and 6in represents the length (height) of the unoccupied space by Y

So:

Height = 12in

Length = 16 - 10

16 in is the total length of the sculpture and 10 in represents the length of Z

So:

Length = 6in

Width = 10 - 6

10 in is the width of Z and 6in represents the length (width) of the unoccupied space by Y

So:

Width = 4in

Hence, the dimension of Y is:

Height = 12in

Length = 6in

Width = 4in

Volume is then calculated as:

Volume  = Length * Width * Height

Volume  = 12in * 6in * 4in

Volume  = 288in^3

Solving (b) The dimension and volume of Z

As identified in (a), the dimensions of Z are:

Height = 18in

Length =10in

Width = 10in

Volume is then calculated as:

Volume  = Length * Width * Height

Volume = 18in * 10in * 10in

Volume = 1800in^3

Solving (c): Total volume of the sculpture.

To do this, we simply add up the volumes of Y and Z.

So, we have:

Total = 288in^3 + 1800in^3

Total = 2088in^3
