There are more compact cars (4*10 = 40) compared to trucks (2*10 = 20); however, the pictogram might make it appear that there are more trucks because the individual truck icon is larger compared to an individual compact car icon.
To anyone giving this image a quick glance, they may erroneously conclude that there are more trucks since their eye would notice the trucks first. Also, the person might think there are more trucks because bigger sizes tend to correspond to more proportion.
In real life, a truck is larger than a compact car, but the icons need to be the same size to have the figure not be misleading.
A very similar issue happens with the mid-size cars vs the compact cars as well. The three mid-size car icons span the same total width as the compact cars do, indicating that a reader might mistakenly conclude that there are the same number of mid-size cars compared to compact ones (when that's not true either).
Answer:
48
Step-by-step explanation:
Create an equation to represent this, where x is the unknown number.
+ 6 = 18
Solve for x, by first subtracting 6 from both sides:
= 12
Multiply each side by 4:
x = 48
So, the number is 48
Answer:
Both fireworks will explode after 1 seconds after firework b launches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Speed of fire work A= 300 ft/s
Speed of Firework B=240 ft/s
Time before which fire work b is launched =0.25s
To Find:
How many seconds after firework b launches will both fireworks explode=?
Solution:
Let t be the time(seconds) after which both the fireworks explode.
By the time the firework a has been launched, Firework B has been launch 0.25 s, So we can treat them as two separate equation
Firework A= 330(t)
Firework B=240(t)+240(0.25)
Since we need to know the same time after which they explode, we can equate both the equations
330(t) = 240(t)+240(0.25)
300(t)= 240(t)+60
300(t)-240(t)= 60
60(t)=60
t=1
