.20 * 10000 =2000

Answer:

You should get 2000 3's in 10,000 spins (in theory)

2,600/4 =650
650•5 =3,250

I found the unit rate of the 2,600 by dividing the per hour and then times it by the 5 hours

Ralph buys a desk that regularly sells for $250 and a desk chair that regularly sells for $145. both items are on sale at 15% of

Lunna [17]

C) (0.85 + x/100)(250+145) does not give the correct answer.

Explanation
A) works; adding the two costs together is 250+145=395. We multiply this by 0.85 because 100%-15%=85%=0.85. We also have x% tax, which is represented by x/100, added to 100% of the value, or 1.00. Altogether this gives us
395(0.85)(1+x/100) = 395(0.85 + (0.85x/100)) = 395(0.85) + 395(0.85x/100)
= 395(0.85) + 395(0.0085x)
B) works; we have 250+145 for the original price; we have 85% = 0.85 of the value; we also have 100% + x%, which is (100+x)/100.
C) does not work; (0.85+x/100)(395) does not take into consideration that you are finding the tax after taking the 85%. This will simplify out to
0.85*395 + (x/100)(395) = 335.75 + 395x/100 = 335.75 + 3.95x, which is too much.
D) works; simplifying the expression from A, we have 395(0.85) + 395(0.0085x) = 335.75 + 3.3575x.

A red kangaroo hops at an average speed of 20km per hour. How fast is this in meters per minute?

masya89 [10]

Answer:

333.3 meters per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The best way to solve this problem is using </u><u>dimensional anaysis</u><u>. First, we write out our starting units, that being 20km/1hr. We have to keep in mind that we want to change the kilometers to meters and the hours to minutes.</u>

$\frac{20km}{1hr}$

<u>We know that there are 1000 meters in 1 kilometer. We add this to the dimensional analysis as 1000m/1km. We write it as this because we want the kilometers to cancel each other out. We only want the meters.</u>

$= \frac{20km}{1hr} *\frac{1000m}{1km} ...$

<u>We also know that 1 hour is 60 minutes. We add this to the analysis as well so that the hours cancel each other.</u>

$= \frac{20km}{1hr} *\frac{1000m}{1km} * \frac{1hr}{60min}$

<u>We now solve this expression. Since both the kilometers and the hours cancel out, we have meters per minute as our unit. All that's left are the numbers.</u>

= (20*1000*1)/(1*1*60) m/min

= 333.3 meters per minute

Find the area of an equilateral triangle that has perimeter of 24 m.

mafiozo [28]

we know the perimeter is 24, and is an equilateral triangle, so it has three equal sides, so each side is 24 ÷ 3 = 8.

$\bf \textit{area of an equilateral triangle}\\\\ A=\cfrac{s^2\sqrt{3}}{4}~~ \begin{cases} s=side's\\ \qquad length\\ \cline{1-1} s = 8 \end{cases}\implies A=\cfrac{8^2\sqrt{3}}{4}\\\\\\ A=16\sqrt{3}\implies A\approx 24.71$
