Answer:

Option (c) is correct.

The distance covered by the man in 1 hour is represented by te expression $\frac{10}{x}$ miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A man walks 10 miles in x hours.

We have to choose a correct expression that represents the distance covered by the man in 1 hour.

Consider the given statement."A man walks 10 miles in x hours."

Using UNITARY METHOD,

(is a method in which we first find the value of a single unit and then multiply it with desired quantity)

Distance covered by man in x hours = 10 miles,

So distance covered by man in 1 hour = $\frac{10}{x}$ miles.

So, The distance covered by the man in 1 hour is represented by te expression $\frac{10}{x}$ miles.

Paul is three times as old as Mary and Peter is four times as old as Mary,If the sum of their ages is 64, how old are Peter,Paul

uysha [10]

Let Mary's age be x.

Paul is three times as old as Mary, so Paul's age would be 3x.

Peter is four times as old as Mary, so Peter's age would be 4x.

The sum of their ages is 64
⇒ Paul's age+ Peter's age+ Mary's age= 64
⇒ 3x+ 4x+ x= 64
⇒ 8x= 64
⇒ x= 64/8
⇒ x= 8

Paul's age is: 3x= 3*8= 24

Peter's age is: 4x= 4*8= 32

Final answer: Paul is 24 years old.
Peter is 32 years old.
Mary is 8 years old.

Chang made $156 for 13 hours of work at the same rate, how many hours would he have to work to make $108?

sdas [7]

Answer:

9 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

"At the same rate" means time and wages are proportional.

time/wages = t/$108 = (13 h)/$156

t = 108(13 h)/156 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . units of dollars cancel

t = 9 h

Chang would have to work 9 hours to make $108.

Determine the measure of each segment then indicate whether the statements are true or false

kupik [55]

Answer:

$d_{AB}\ne d_{JK}$

$d_{AB}\ne \:d_{GH}$

$d_{GH}\ne \:d_{JK}$

Therefore,

Option (A) is false

Option (B) is false

Option (C) is false

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the graph

Given the vertices of the segment AB

A(-4, 4)

B(2, 5)

Finding the length of AB using the formula

$d_{AB}\:=\:\sqrt{\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^2}$

$=\sqrt{\left(2-\left(-4\right)\right)^2+\left(5-4\right)^2}$

$=\sqrt{\left(2+4\right)^2+\left(5-4\right)^2}$

$=\sqrt{6^2+1}$

$=\sqrt{36+1}$

$=\sqrt{37}$

$d_{AB}\:=\sqrt{37}$

$d_{AB}=6.08$ units

Given the vertices of the segment JK

J(2, 2)

K(7, 2)

From the graph, it is clear that the length of JK = 5 units

$d_{JK}=5$ units

Given the vertices of the segment GH

G(-5, -2)

H(-2, -2)

Finding the length of GH using the formula

$d_{GH}\:=\:\sqrt{\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^2}$

$=\sqrt{\left(-2-\left(-5\right)\right)^2+\left(-2-\left(-2\right)\right)^2}$

$=\sqrt{\left(5-2\right)^2+\left(2-2\right)^2}$

$=\sqrt{3^2+0}$

$=\sqrt{3^2}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:radical\:rule\:}\sqrt[n]{a^n}=a,\:\quad \mathrm{\:assuming\:}a\ge 0$

$d_{GH}\:=\:3$ units

Thus, from the calculations, it is clear that:

$d_{AB}=6.08$

$d_{JK}=5$

$d_{GH}\:=\:3$

Thus,

$d_{AB}\ne d_{JK}$

$d_{AB}\ne \:d_{GH}$

$d_{GH}\ne \:d_{JK}$

Therefore,

Option (A) is false

Option (B) is false

Option (C) is false

In each of the following equations, what is

timama [110]

The graph will cross at the coordinates (-2, 9)

<h3>How to solve equations?</h3>

y = 3x + 15

y = 3 - 3x

y = 3x + 15

Hence,

when x = 2

y = 3(2) + 15 = 21

when x = 0

y = 3(0) + 15 = 15

y = 3 - 3x

when x = 2

y = 3 - 3(2)

y = 3 - 6

y = -3

when x = 0

y = 3 - 3(0)

y = 3

Therefore, let's check if the equation will cross.

y = 3x + 15

y = 3 - 3x

using substitution,

3 - 3x = 3x + 15

3 - 15 = 3x + 3x

- 12 = 6x

x = -12 / 6

x = -2

y = 3 - 3(-2)

y = 3 + 6

y = 9

Therefore, the graph will cross at the coordinates (-2, 9)
