I think the answer should be x = 10.101326
Say her hourly pay was $p for the day shift and $1.2p for the night shift.
(1) x = 55. Clearly insufficient: we need to know how these 55 hours are split between the day shift hours and the night shift hour.
(2) Grace's gross pay for the hours she worked on day shift last month was exactly 50% of her total gross pay for last month. Not sufficient.
(1)+(2) Say Grace worked h hours on the day shift and 55-h hours on the night shift. Thus, her pay for the the hours she worked on day shift is $ph and the total gross pay is $ph+(55-h)*1.2p. From (2) we have that ph=0.5(ph+(55-h)*1.2p) --> reduce by p: h=0.5(h+(55-h)*1.2). We have 1 variable, so we can solve for it. Sufficient.
Answer: C.
Distance divided by time is speed. To find the rate of speed, divide 40 yards by 4.24 seconds which is approximately 9.43 yards per second. 9.43 yards per second is the rate of speed.
Answer:
x=19.4
Step-by-step explanation:
a^2+b^2=c^2
x^2+8^2=21^2
x^2+64=441
x^2=377
square root of 377 is 19.41648784
rounded would be 19.4
Answer:
the Europeans got the better deal from the Colombian Exchange
Step-by-step explanation:
In general, one would have to say that the Europeans got the better deal from the Columbian Exchange in that it facilitated the eventual establishment of colonies in the New World. That's not to say that it was all one-way traffic; however, the people of the New World undoubtedly benefitted in both the short and long-term by the introduction of crops and livestock. But such benefits proved to be more keenly felt by subsequent waves of European settlers than America's indigenous population.
After all, it wasn't much good for Native-Americans to have all these crops and all this livestock if, in due course, there'd be less land available for their use due to increased colonization. The indigenous peoples also suffered terribly from the introduction of diseases such as measles and smallpox, for which they had no natural immunity. It's difficult, then, to avoid the conclusion that the Europeans got the better deal from the Columbian Exchange (as it was probably intended that they should).
simply -
The Natives did benefit, but only for a short while, and the Europeans benefited the most
Kono Dio Da!!!
