The ration between the ascent and time is 8/9 is to 1/9. To get the rate per minute, your aim is to get an equal ratio using a full minute. A full minute would be 9/9. Now how do we get 9//9, you multiply 1/9 by 9.

\frac{1}{9}*9 =  \frac{9}{9}=1

Now to get an equal ration, you need to multiply the ascent by the same factor. So you would multiply 8/9 by 9 as well.

\frac{8}{9}*9 = \frac{72}{9} =8

So the rate would be 8 meters per minute.

Answer:

1) $350

2) 55°

3) $300

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The total cost is the cost of the appointment plus the cost of the repair work.  The appointment costs $50.  The repair work costs $120 per 2 hours.  So the total cost is:

C = 50 + (120/2) t

C = 50 + 60t

For 5 hours of work, the cost is:

C = 50 + 60(5)

C = 350

It costs $350.

2) The temperature starts at 70°.  It drops 10° in 4 hours.  So the temperature after t hours is:

T = 70 + (-10/4) t

T = 70 − 2.5t

After 6 hours:

T = 70 − 2.5(6)

T = 55

The temperature is 55°.

3) Jennie's total pay is her weekly pay plus her commissions.  If her commission is x% of her sales, then her pay is:

P = 250 + (x/100) S

When her sales is $1000, her pay is $275.

275 = 250 + (x/100) 1000

275 = 250 + 10x

25 = 10x

x = 2.5

So her pay is:

P = 250 + (2.5/100) S

When S = $2000:

P = 250 + (2.5/100) 2000

P = 250 + 50

P = 300

Her total pay is $300.
