Answer:

Katherine need to work minimum 10 hours lifeguarding to meet her requirements

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Rate for Lifeguarding = $16\ per\ hour

Rate for walking dogs = $6 \ per\ hour

She had worked 2 hours walking dog

Money for walking dogs = Rate for walking dogs\times hours worked=\$6\times2=\$12

she can work a maximum of 15 total hours and must earn at least $160.

Let hours required for lifeguarding be x

Money for life guarding = Rate for walking dogs\times hours worked for lifrguarding= \$16 \timesx=16x

Total Money she must earn = Money for lifeguarding + Money for walking dogs

16x+12=160\\16x=160-12\\16x=148\\x=\frac{148}{16}=9.25 \ hours

Rounding to nearest hour

Katherine need to work minimum 10 hours lifeguarding to meet her requirements

Find the value of x. *<br><br> 50 PTS!<br><br> 5<br> 25<br> 5√2<br> 50
Aneli [31]

Answer:

  • Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this with the help of Pythagoras theorem.

  • => (√50)² = x² + x²
  • => √50 x √50 = x² + x²
  • => 50 = 2x²
  • => 25 = x²
  • => x = 5

Hence, the value of x is 5 units.
