Answer:

The better deal cannot be decided as we were not the weights of the 2 avocados. However, we assume they are x is the price of the larger avocado and y the weight of the larger avocado. Therefore we calculate the price per pound of the larger avocado which is x/y. The weight of the smaller avocado is called z while the price od the smaller / regular avocado is $0.84.The price per pound of the smaller / regular avocado is calculated as 0.84/z. Therefore x/y<0.84/z will make buying the longer avocado a better deal. Also, x/y>0.84/z will make buying the smaller/ regular avocado a better deal.

Step-by-step explanation:

The better deal cannot be decided as we were not the weights of the 2 avocados. However, we assume they are x is the price of the larger avocado and y the weight of the larger avocado. Therefore we calculate the price per pound of the larger avocado which is x/y. The weight of the smaller avocado is called z while the price od the smaller / regular avocado is $0.84.The price per pound of the smaller / regular avocado is calculated as 0.84/z. Therefore x/y<0.84/z will make buying the longer avocado a better deal. Also, x/y>0.84/z will make buying the smaller/ regular avocado a better deal.

Answer:

The bigger avocado will be a better deal if the ratio of the sizes of the bigger one to the smaller one is less than the ratio of the prices of the bigger one to the smaller one.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that two sizea of avocados are being sold, since the regular size is being sold for $0.84 each, let the price for the bigger avocado be $x.

Then note the following:

1. How bigger than the smaller avocado is the bigger one?

This would determine if the price for the bigger one is a bargain, or a mistake.

If for instance, the bigger avocado is double the size of the smaller one, then for any price, $x less that $1.68 (twice of $0.84), it is a bargain.

The bigger avocado will be a better deal if the ratio of the sizes bigger one to the smaller one is less than the ratio of the prices of the bigger one to the smaller one.

Answer:

72\sqrt{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a rhombus is calculated as

A = \frac{1}{2} × d₁ × d₂ (d₁ and d₂ are the diagonals )

The diagonals bisect each other at right angles

d₁ = 2 × 6 = 12

Use the tangent ration in the upper left right triangle and the exact value

tan60° = \sqrt{3}

tan60° = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} = \frac{opp}{6} = \sqrt{3} ( multiply both sides by 6 )

opp = 6\sqrt{3} , then

d₂ = 2 × 6\sqrt{3} = 12\sqrt{3}

Thus

A = \frac{1}{2} × 12 × 12\sqrt{3} = 6 × 12\sqrt{3} = 72\sqrt{3}

A water balloon is tossed into the air with an upward velocity of 25 ft/s. Its height h(t) in ft after t seconds is given by the
sammy [17]
19. The balloon hits the ground means -16t2+25t+3=0
After you solve the equation, there are 2 solution ~1.67 or ~-0.11 (the time can not be negative) so the solution is 1.67s
20.substitute t=1 to the function -16(1)2+25(1)+3=-16+25+3=12 ft. So the height is 12ft when t=1

How long does a car traveling at 70 mph take to travel 88 miles, in hours
dybincka [34]
So,

Obviously, the car will travel 70 miles in one hour.  So after one hour, the car will have traveled 70 miles.  That leaves 18 miles.

The time it will take for the car to go another 18 miles will be 18 divided by 70.
\frac{18}{70}

Simplify.
\frac{2*3*3}{2*5*7}
\frac{3*3}{5*7}
\frac{9}{35}

Divide.
≈ 0.25714

So a car traveling at 70 mph will take approximately 1.25714 hours or 1.26 hours to travel 88 miles.
