"We buy gallons of gas, but liters of soda. We drive for miles but run the 400-meter dash. Discuss how or why this is true in ou

r country."
I know that we buy gallons of gas but liters of soda because our vehicles need more gas than our bodies "need" soda, but I need help with the second part. :)

Thank you

We drive for miles because the car is a machine with very small limitations and it takes in more substance that helps them go farther than us. We run the 400-meter dash because we didn't take in as much substance for us to have the energy and also we have more limitations than a car. 

I hope that helps!

Company has 189 employees that share an office that has 32 floors. If they built another building for 50 employees, how high sho
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

8 floors

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of employees is directly proportional to the number of floors that each building has.

The first building has 32 floors and it occupies 189 employees. Therefore:

189 α 32

=> 189 = k * 32 = 32k

where k = constant of proportionality

=> k = 189/32

The new building has 50 employees, therefore:

50 = kN

where N = number of floors

=> 50 = 189/32 * N

N = (50 * 32) / 189 ≅ 8 floors

The new building should have 8 floors

Please help me I need this answer and I can not figure it out im not smart so could you please help
Rom4ik [11]

So really all you have to do is simply the expressions on top to match them.

Starting with (4t-8/5)-(3-4/3t), distribute the negative sign to the right portion in parentheses, then distribute it all out and you will get 16/3t- 23/5

Basically, use distribution to simplify, here's all the matches:

(4t-8/5)-(3-4/3t) --> 16/3t- 23/5

5(2t+1)+(-7t+28) --> 3t+33

(-9/2t+3)+(7/4t+33) --> -11/4t+36

3(3t-4)-(2t+10) --> 7t-22

Two life insurance policies, each with a death benefit of 10,000 and a one-time premium of 500, are sold to a couple, one for ea
Kazeer [188]

Answer:896.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denotes excess premium over claims

E\left ( x|husband survives\right ), There are two possibilities

(i)Only husband survives

This can be possible with a possibility of 0.01

Claims=10,000

Premium collected=2\times 500=1000

Thus x=1000-10,000=-9000

(ii)Both husband and wife survives

This can occur with a probability of 0.96

Here claims will be 0 as both survives

Premium taken=1000

thus x=1000

The probability that the husband survives is the sum of above cases

=0.96+0.01=0.97

Hence the desired conditional Expectation E\left ( x|Husband survives\right ) =0.01\times \left ( -9000\right )+0.96\times \left ( 1000\right )=896.9

X−8π=π someone help me answer this
Ann [662]

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

First step, divide both sides by pi to get rid of it entirely; you should be left with x - 8 = 1 (because when you divide a value by itself, you always get 1, so pi divided by pi gives you 1)

Second step, add 8 to both sides, leaving you with x = 9

Vika [28.1K]
First number - x
Second number - y

3x + 2y = 12.

This expression would represent a linear equation.
