A = 10 or a = -10
When you square a number, you're essentially multiplying it by itself.
Recall that multiplying two negative numbers will result in a positive numbers. Knowing this, we know that -10 times -10 equals 100.
17. On average, Nestor works 7.5 hours of overtime in 4 weeks, so works an average of 7.5/4 = 1.875 overtime hours per week.
On average, each week Nestor gets paid for 7.5×5 + 2×1.875 = 41.25 hours, so is paid*
... (41.25 h)×($7.42/h) = $306.075
Each week Rita gets paid for 8×5 + 1.5×3 = 44.5 hours, so is paid
... (44.5 h)×($7.64/h) = $339.98
Their combined earning for a week are $306.075 + 339.98 = $646.055, so over a period of 12 weeks, they are paid a total of
... (12 weeks)×($646.055/week) = $7,752.66
18. Assuming Robin is paid time and a half for overtime, she was paid for
... 40 + 1.5×6 = 49 . . . hours
Then her hourly pay was ($392/week)/(49 hours/week) = $8.00 per hour
___
* The half-cent that shows up in Nestor's average weekly pay does not actually show up in Nestor's paycheck. Here, it is an artifact of dividing his monthly hour total by 4 to get a weekly average. Nestor's total pay for any given week is whole number of cents.
Answer:
175 mL
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) Convert the mass of the cat to kilograms
1 kg = 2.20 lb
Mass = 8 lb × (1 kg/2.20 lb)
= 3.64 kg
(b) Calculate the hourly volume
V = 3.64 kg × (2 mL/1 kg)
= 7.27 mL
(c) Calculate the daily volume
V = 24 h × (7.27 mL/1 h)
= 175 mL
If you want to find the hypotenuse then the formula applied is c^2=a^2+b^2 where c is the hypotenuse. 5^2+7^2=8.6
