Answer:

The plane can go up-to 2.8 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Troposphere is the lowest layer of the earth's atmosphere.

This layer varies from different locations and the season.

A plane is flying at an altitude of 5.8 miles.

The troposphere layer is 8.6 miles deep in that area so remaining altitude up-to which the plane can go will be (8.6 - 5.8) = 2.8 miles.

Therefore, plane can go up by 2.8 miles more.

You must subtract 8.6 by 5.8 to find it.

In the first week of August, there were 1,060 people at an amusement
Marrrta [24]

<u>Answer:</u>

In second week there is percentage decrease (-ve sign) of 20% in people visiting compare to first week.

In third week there is percentage increase of 50% in people visiting compare to second week.

In fourth week there is percentage decrease of 75% in people visiting compare to third week.

<u>Solution:</u>

Need to determine percentage change in the number of people who went to amusement park for each week in august.

Given that,

In first week of august number of people went to amusement park let say p_1 = 1060

In second week of august number of people went to amusement park let say p_2 = 848

In third week of august number of people went to amusement park let say p_3 = 1272

And in fourth week of august number of people went to amusement park let say p_4 = 318

<u><em>Percentage change from first week to second week is as follows</em></u>

\% \text { change }=\frac{p_{2}-p_{1}}{p_{1}} \times 100=\frac{848-1060}{1060} \times 100

=\frac{-212}{1060} \times 100=-20 \%

So in second week there is percentage decrease (-ve sigh) of 20% in people visiting compare to first week.

<u><em>Percentage change from second week to third week is as follows </em></u>

\begin{aligned} \% \text { change }=\frac{p_{3}-p_{2}}{p_{2}} \times 100 &=\frac{1272-848}{848} \times 100 =\frac{424}{848} \times 100=50 \% \end{aligned}

So in third week there is percentage increase of 50% in people visiting compare to second week

<u><em>Percentage change from third week to fourth week is as follows </em></u>

\begin{aligned} \% \text { change }=& \frac{p_{4}-p_{3}}{p_{3}} \times 100=\frac{318-1272}{1272} \times 100 =\frac{-954}{1272} \times 100=-75 \% \end{aligned}

So in fourth week there is percentage decrease of 75% in people visiting compare to third week

Kiley is replacing the top of a circular table with glass. The circumference of the table is between 6.28 feet and 12.56 feet. A
Naya [18.7K]

Kiley would need glass of area between 3.14 and 12.56 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The Circumference of the circle is given by 2πr where “r” is the radius

Range of the circle’s circumference- 6.28 feet to 12.56 feet

Considering lowest radius as r₁ and the largest as r₂

2πr₁= 6.28

∴r₁= 6.28/(3.14*2) = 1 feet

Similarly

⇒2πr₂=12.56/(3.14*2)=2 feet

We know that area of the circle is given by πr ²

Area of the circle= 3.14*(1)² = 3.14 square feet

Area of the largest radius= 3.14*(2)²= 12.56 square feet

Hence Kiley would need glass of area between 3.14 and 12.56 square feet

Find the greatest common factor of 7x and 4x?.
Andru [333]

Answer:

GCF = x

Step-by-step explanation:

The factor decomposition is:

7 * x   for the first term

2 * 2 * x for the second term.

The ONLY common factor is "x", and the maximum power at which it appears in BOTH terms is "1" (one)

Therefore GCF = x
