Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be a number.
The statement can be interpreted as:
- 5 is subtracted <u>from</u> a number : x - 5
- A number is greater than 6 : x > 6
- When 5 is subtracted <u>from</u> 3 times a number, the result is greater than 6 : 3x - 5 > 6
And then we simplify 3x - 5 > 6:
- 3x - 5 > 6
- 3x > 11
- x > 11/3
- x > 3.666...
To get the smallest whole number satisfying the inequality above, we can take the "ceiling" of 3.66 which is 4.
Note:
The ceiling of a number is the nearest integer (or in this case, nearest whole number) of a number. It can be denoted by ceil(x).
For example, the ceiling of 0.1 is 1. The ceiling of 5 is 5 since 5 itself is a integer.
Answer:
the are would be 18
Step-by-step explanation:
bc 2x3=6 and then 4x3=12 so 12+6=18
Answer:
16.364 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Speed of Claire = 6 miles per hour
Speed of Megan= 5 miles per hour
Distance from camp site to out post = 18 miles
Time for Claire to travel=18/6= 3 hours
Time for Megan to travel = 18/5 = 3.6 hours
The time they meet will be equal
Claire distance= 18 + x
Megan distance = 18-x
Claire time =( 18+x)/6
Megan Tim =( 18-x)/5
(18+x)/6 =(18-x)/5
5(18+x)= 6(18-x)
90 +5x = 108-6x
11x=18
X=18/11
X=1.636 Miles
So the distance from the Outpost to where they meet = 18-1.636
= 16.364 miles
Given:
1970 price of dish washing detergent in a bottle : $0.50
CPI
1960 = 29.60
1970 = 38.80
1980 = 82.40
(82.40 - 38.80) / 38.80 = 1.124
1.124 x 100% = 112.4% rate of increase
$0.50 * 112.4% = $0.562 is the 1980 price of the dish washing detergent.
The percent increase is 12.5%, 800 multiplied by 0.125 equals 100 and 100+800=900.
