Answer:

The sum −3 is an indication that Sally is 3 feet below her initial position.

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the distances going up (ascend) as positive and distances going down (descend) as negative so that the sum is:

224 + (-131) + 67+ (-163)

Add by using the commutative property:

224 + 67 + (-131) + (-163) = 291

The sum −3 is an indication that Sally is 3 feet below her initial position.

10. A cab company charges a flat rate of $2 plus an additional $0.50 for every mile traveled.

zzz [600]

a.
f = total cab fare
m = distance travelled

f = 2 + 0.50m

b.
7.50 = 2 + 0.50m

c.
7.50 = 2 + 0.50m
7.50 - 2 = 0.50m
5.50 = 0.50m
5.50/0.50 = m
m = 11
Sara travelled 11 miles.

d.
f = 2 + 0.50m
f = 2 + 0.50 x 10
f = 2 + 5
f = 7

When the cab fare is over $7.00 on the holidays, $1 is discounted off the fare.

e.
Yes, Lupe traveled more than 10 miles. (refer to calculations used in c.)

A coordinate grid is placed over a map and every unit represents 1 mi. The point at (3, 8) represents the location of the baseba

alexira [117]

The distance between 2 points $( x_{1}, y_{1})$ and $( x_{2}, y_{2})$ on the coordinate plane is $\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2-(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}$
So the distance between the given points is $\sqrt{(7-3)^2+(-2-8})^2}= \sqrt{4^2+(-10)^2}= \sqrt{16+100}= \sqrt{116}=10.8$
As every unit is 1 mile, so the distance should be 10.8*1=10.8miles.

Hope this helps.
