Answer:

22 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a pond between two points A and B.

To avoid the pond, one must walk to the south from point A to point C (say) by 34 meters and then to the east from point C to point B by 41 meters.

Now, it is clear that Δ ABC is a right triangle with AB as the hypotenuse that is the minimum distance from A to B through the pond.

The two legs of the right triangle are AC and CB.

Applying Pythagoras Theorem, AB² = AC² + CB² = 34² + 41² = 2837

⇒ AB = 53 meters (Rounded to the nearest meter)

Therefore, (34 + 41) - 53 = 22 meters will be saved if it were possible to walk through the pond. (Answer)

Avon Edwards worked 45.5 hours at $5 per hour. He made $100 in tips but no bonuses. Anything over 40 hours is paid time-and-a-ha

posledela

Answer:

1. D

2. B

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1:

We can get Avon's earnings using the equation $W=HR+1.5VR+B+T$

Where W is his earnings

HR is the regular hours (40 hours in this case)

V is overtime hours (hours over 40, 45.5 - 40 = 5.5 hours)

B is bonus (no bonus)

T is tips ( $100 tips, given)

and R is the rate (which is $5 per hour)

Substituting the given info into the equation, we get:

$W=HR+1.5VR+B+T\\W=(40)(5)+1.5(5.5)(5)+0+100\\W=341.25$

So avon's earnings are $341.25

Answer choice D is right.

Question 2:

The other employee needs to work $x$ hours @ $15 per hour to equate or surpass $428. So we can set up the equation shown below and solve for x:

$(15)(x)=428\\x=\frac{428}{15}\\x=28.53$

Rounded to 1 decimal place, this is about 28.5 hours

Answer choice B is right.

An airplane left Miami, FL. At the same time another plane left Santiago, Chile. The two planes flew toward each other at rates

Nina [5.8K]

Since we know that LCM of both 625&575 is 14375, we must find the hours it took for both planes to arrive at this same destination.

Plane 1(625): Took 23 hours to arrive.

Plane 2(575): Took 25 hours to arrive.

Therefore, the answer should be from 23-25 hours to arrive or if looking for middle number, 24 hours exactly.

Hope this helps.
