During a scuba dive, Lainey descended to a point 19 feet below the ocean surface. She continued her descent at a rate of 25 feet

per minute. Write an inequality you could solve to find the number of minutes she can continue to descend if she does not want to reach a point more than 144 feet below the ocean surface. Use the variable t for time.

Answer:

25t+19\leq 144

t\leq5

The number of minutes she can continue to descend if she does not want to reach a point more than 144 feet below the ocean surface is <u>at most 5 minutes.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Initial depth of the scuba dive = 19 ft

Rate of descent = 25 ft/min

Maximum depth to be reached = 144 ft

Now, after 't' minutes, the depth reached by the scuba dive is equal to the sum of the initial depth and the depth covered in 't' minutes moving at the given rate.

Framing in equation form, we get:

Total depth = Initial Depth + Rate of descent × Time

Total depth = 19+25t

Now, as per question, the total depth should not be more than 144 feet. So,

\textrm{Total depth}\leq 144\ ft\\\\19+25t\leq 144\\\\or\ 25t+19\leq 144

Solving the above inequality for time 't', we get:

25t+19\leq 144\\\\25t\leq 144-19\\\\25t\leq 125\\\\t\leq \frac{125}{25}\\\\t\leq 5\ min

Therefore, the number of minutes she can continue to descend if she does not want to reach a point more than 144 feet below the ocean surface is at most 5 minutes.

Is the quotient of two integers always a rational number? Explain.
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

It is true that the quotient of two integers is always a rational number. This is because a rational number is any number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction p/q of two integers, a numerator p and a non-zero denominator q.

Anna wants to take fitness classes. She compares two gyms to determine which would be the best deal for her. Fit Fast charges a
mestny [16]
Fit Fast: a set feet per class => y = Ax

Stepping Up: a monthly fee plus an additioal fee per class => h = Bx + C

You can discard the second and the fourth systems because  they do not have the form established from the statement.

The first system produce an obvious result given that is represents an option that is always better than the other 5.5x will be lower than 7.5x + 10 for any positive value of x, and so there is no need to make any comparission.

The third system is

y = 7.5x and y = 5.5x + 10 which need to be solved to determine when one rate is more convenient than the other.

Answer: y = 7.5x and y = 5..5x + 10

A pipe that's 36 inches long needs to be cut into 2 and one forth inches long pieces. how may pieces can be cut from this length
PolarNik [594]
16 pieces may be cut. This is because we need to divide 36 by 2 and 1/4 to find how many pieces hat can be cut. First, we need to change everything into a fraction (or improper fraction). 2 and 1/4 = 9/4 (if you need help trying to find out how to get this, just ask). Then, since we are doing division, we flip the 9/4 around to get 4/9. 36 times (it's not dividing anymore since we flipped the 9/4) 4/9 = 16 pieces. I hope this helps! :D

In 1990, California switched from a 6/49 lottery to a 6/53 lottery. Later, the state switched again to a 6/51 lottery. (a) Find
zalisa [80]

Answer:

(a) 9.9321*10^{-11}

(b) 6.0498*10^{-11}

(c) 7.7120^{-11}

(d) 1.6417 times more probable

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The probability of winning a 6/49 lottery is given by:

P = \frac{1}{49*48*47*46*45*44} =9.9321*10^{-11}

(b) The probability of winning a 6/53 lottery is given by:

P = \frac{1}{53*52*51*50*49*48} =6.0498*10^{-11}

(c) The probability of winning a 6/51 lottery is given by:

P = \frac{1}{51*50*49*48*47*46} =7.7120^{-11}

(d) The ratio between the probabilities of winning the 6/49 lottery and winning the 6/53 lottery is:

r=\frac{9.9321*10^{-11}}{6.0498^{-11}}\\r=1.6417

It is 1.6417 times more probable.
