We can set up an equation to solve this problem, but first we need to write out what we know.

$20 overall
$0.24 every minute
$13.52 remaining on the card

Now that we know our information, we can set it up in an equation. 

20 - 0.24x = 13.52

The 20 represents $20 overall when she first got the phone card.
We are then subtracting $20 from how must it costs a minute (which is 24 cents). The 'x' indicates the number we are trying to find (how many minutes her call lasted). Lastly, 13.52 is the result of everything, since she has $13.52 remaining on the card.

We can now solve the equation:

20 - 0.24x = 13.52
-0.24x = 13.52 - 20 /// subtract 20 from each side
-0.24x = -6.48 /// simplify
x = 27 /// divide each side by -0.24

Our solution is: x = 27.

-----

An easier way to solve this problem would be to first, subtract the total amount of money she had on the card when she first got it, and then the remaining total she ended up with.

$20 - $13.52 = $6.48

So, she spent a total of $6.48 on long distance calls, but since we are looking for how many minutes, we need to divide the total she spent and how much it costs per minute.

6.48 ÷ 24 = 27

We receive the same amount of minutes spent just like we did the last way we solved.

Salma spent 27 minutes on the phone.

Samuel can type nearly 40 words per minute. Use this information to find the number of hours it would take him to type 2.2 × 105
Dafna1 [17]
I believe the answer is .09625 hours

Explanation: first you do 2.2 x 105= 231
Then you do 231/40=5.775 to get how many minutes it takes to type 231 words. Then u divide 5.775/60 to get how many hours it would take.

Answer:

100

Step-by-step explanation:

Mixed candy question... Skittles jar... to be filled with Jelly beans.

Let's first calculate the volume of the jar.  We'll assume it's a regular cylindrical prism jar, unlike the one on the photo which is narrower on top.

V = π * r² * h = π * (3.5)² * 11.5 = 140.875 π = 442.6 cubic cm

Now, we don't have the precise measurement of a jelly bean, but we know it's roughly 2-3 cubic cm.  The precision isn't needed to answer this question, just to have a rough idea... it's no 300 cu cm per jelly bean.

So, let's assume a 3 cu cm per jelly bean (2 cu cm wouldn't the final answer)....

442.6 / 3 = 147.5 jelly beans, approximately.

So, can they fit 100,000?  No

Can we fit 10,000 in there?  No

Can we fit 100?  Yes.

Can we fit 1?  Certainly

The most reasonable lower-limit would then be 100.

Suppose that a is a one-dimensional array of ints with a length of at least 2. Which of the following code fragments successfull
elixir [45]

Answer:

E)II and III only

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be seen with examples. Say a[0]=1 and and a[1]=2.

for I , the first line of code would be:

a[0]=a[1];

thus, we would get a new value for a[0]=2.

The second line of code

a[1]=a[0]; uses the new value of a[0], so we would get a[1]=2.

The end result is a[0]=2, and a[1]=2 which doesn't exchange the values of the first two elements.

For II the first line of code

int t= a[0]; saves the original value of a[0] to t, so we get t=1.

the second line of code

a[0]=a[1]; changes the value of a[0]  to that of a[1]. Thus, in our example a[0]=2.

the final line

a[1]=t; changes the value of a[1] to the original value of a[0], giving us a[1]=1 and a[0]=2, what we were looking for.

For III

the first line of code

a[0]=a[0]-a[1];

gives us

a[0]=1-2

the secon line

a[1]=a[1]+a[0];

takes the new value of a[0] and replaces it in the expression

a[1]= 2+(1-2)=1

the last line

a[0]=a[1]-a[0];

takes the new value of a[0] and a[1] and replaces the in the expression

a[0]=1-(1-2)=1-1+2=2

which exchanges the values needed.

So we can see that only II and III do what we require, giving us E as the answer.
