The difference between both unit rates rounded off to the nearest tenth is: 0.4 meters per second

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate his unit rate for both type of races

So,

Distance = 400m

Time = 43 sec

$Unit\ rate = U_1= \frac{Distance}{Time}\\=\frac{400}{43}\\=9.30\ meters\ per\ second$

Distance = 300m

Time = 31 sec

$Unit\ Rate= U_2=\frac{300}{31}\\=9.68\ meters\ per\ second$

The difference between both unit rates is:

$U_2-U_1 = 9.68-9.30\\=0.38 => 0.4\ meters\ per\ sec$

Hence,

The difference between both unit rates rounded off to the nearest tenth is: 0.4 meters per second

Brian needs to find the value of a number, a, so that when (x^2+3x) is added to the binomial (3x^2+ax), the sum simplifies to 4x

Julli [10]

Answer:

a = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to add (x^2+3x) to (3x^2+ax),

(x^2+3x)+(3x^2+ax)

Expand

= x^2+3x+3x^2+ax

Collect the like terms

= x^2+3x^2+3x+ax

= 4x^2 + 3x + ax

= 4x^2+(3+a)x

Equate the solution to 4x^2+12x

4x^2+(3+a)x = 4x^2+12x

Comparing the like terms on both sides

(3+a)x =12x

3 + a = 12

a = 12 - 3

a = 9

Hence the value of a is 9

A package of Big Bubbles Gum has 10 pieces and sells for 2.90. A package of fruity gum has 20 pieces and sells for 6.20. Compare

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

The unit price for the Big Bubbles Gum is 0.29 cents, while the unit price for the fruity gum is 0.31 cents.

Step-by-step explanation:

First identify what you know:

1) A package of Bug Bubbles Wrap, containing 10 pieces of gum, sells for a total of $2.90.

2) A package of fruity gum, with 20 pieces of gum, sells for a total of $6.20.

What is the unit price? The unit price is how much you're selling for a single piece within the package! If you were to buy just one packet, how much would it cost? To calculate this, simply divide the total cost of the package, but the number of units, or rather, pieces!

$2.90/10 = 0.29 cents

$6.20/20 = 0.31 cents

From this, we see that a single unit (piece) of the Big Bubble Gum, is only 29 cents, while a single unit (piece) of the fruity gum is 31 cents. So, it would be a better deal to buy the Big Bubble Gum!

For, twenty of the Big Bubble Gum, you'd buy two packages, for $5.80, which is 40 cents less than one package of 20 pieces of fruity gum!

Hope this helps! :)
