Answer:

24 days

Step-by-step explanation:

We wish to eliminate the unit of measurement "miles," ending up with the number of days on which LeRoy ran.

Recall that distance = rate times time. Here

distance

-------------- = time

rate

Plugging in the appropriate quantities (given in the problem statement),

15 miles 15 3

----------------------- = -------- days = -------- days = 24 days

(5/8) (mi/day) 5/8 1/8

Answer:

x = -5,-1, 9. -1 with multiplicity 1, 9 with multiplicity 1, and -5 with multiplicity 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

the coefficients do not change the roots of the equation but rather the local minima and maxima, and Minimum or Maximum depending on the function.

On a particular flight, the airline's income was $95,280 for a jumbo jet carrying 290 passengers. If a first-class ticket costs

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

30 first-class tickets were sold and 260 coach tickets were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a first-class ticket be represented by f and let a coach ticket be represented by c.

On a particular flight, a jumbo jet was carrying 290 passengers. So, the sum of the first-class tickets and coach tickets must sum to 290:

$f+c=290$

The total income was $95,280. Therefore:

$680f+288c=95280$

We can now solve the system of equations. First, we can simplify the second equation by dividing everything by 8:

$85f+36c=11910$

From the first equation, we can subtract f from both sides:

$c=290-f$

Substitute:

$85f+36(290-f)=11910$

Distribute:

$85f+10440-36f=11910$

Simplify:

$49f=1470$

So:

$f=30$

From the previous equation:

$c=290-f$

Substitute:

$c=290-30=260$

30 first-class tickets were sold and 260 coach tickets were sold.

The length of a side of a square field is 48m.Find the cost of ploughing the field at the rate of rs 25/m and cost of fencing th

brilliants [131]

Answer: rs 4800, rs 3456

Step-by-step explanation:j

given data:

length of a sid = 48m

cost of ploughing the field = rs 25/m

cost of fencing the field = rs 18/m

solution:

we know a square has four equal sides. so total length of the field is

= m ( 48 + 48 +48 + 48 )

= 192m

cost of ploughing the field

= 192m * rs 25

= rs 4800

cos of fencing the field

= 192m * rs 18

= rs 3456
