Answer:

<em>2 hours and 6 minutes. Second option</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Proportions </u>

If two variables are proportional, it's easy to find the value of one of them knowing the value of the other and the proportion ratio. We know that each day our clock loses 6 minutes per day. It gives us the ratio between time lost vs days passed.

Three weeks (21 days) from now, from now, the clock will be behind a total time of 6 * 21 = 126 minutes.  

Two hours are 120 minutes, thus the time behind is 2 hours and 6 minutes. Second option

in triangle PQR the measure of angle R=90, QP=73, RQ=55, and PR=48. what is the value of the sine of angle P to the nearest Hund
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

P ≈ 48.89°(nearest hundredth)

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle PQR forms a right angle triangle since angle R is 90°. The triangle has an hypotenuse , adjacent and opposite side.

Using the SOHCAHTOA principle one can find the sine ratio of angle P. Let us designate where each side represent.

opposite side(QR) = 55

adjacent side(PR) = 48

hypotenuse(PQ) = 73

sin P = opposite/hypotenuse

sin P = 55/73

P = sin⁻¹ 55/73

P = sin⁻¹ 0.75342465753

P = 48.8879095605

P ≈ 48.89°(nearest hundredth)

Ieda and Thanh both offer piano lessons. Ieda charges an initial fee of $8.50 and an hourly rate of $11.00. Thanh charges an ini
Trava [24]
The price for each instructor will be the same at 3 hours. How I determined this answer:

First off, you need to add the initial price and hourly price for each person together, so you already know how much it will cost for 1 hour, including the initial fee. Here's how you do it:

Ieda: $11.00 (hourly price) + $8.50 (initial fee) = $19.50 (for 1 hour)

Thanh: $10.50 (hourly price) + $10.00 (initial fee) = $20.50 (for 1 hour)

Now that you have the price for 1 hour including the initial fee, now you need to find the price for each hour after that. Here's how I did that:

I created a graph that looked like this:

Hours:       1                 2                  3               
Ieda:      19.50          30.50         41.50
Thanh:   20.50          31.00         41.50

Here's how I figured out the price for each hour:

Ieda:

Hour 1 (including initial price):
            $11.00 + $8.50 = $19.50
Hour 2 (excluding initial price): Only add the hourly price after Hour 1!
            $19.50 + $11.00 = $30.50 
Hour 3 (excluding initial price):
            $30.50 + $11.00 = $41.50

Thanh:

Hour 1 (including initial price):
            $10.50 + $10.00 = $20.50
Hour 2 (excluding initial price):
            $20.50 + $10.50 = $31.00
Hour 3 (excluding initial price):
            $31.00 + $10.50 = $41.50

So, looking at the graph, their prices are the same once each instruction reaches 3 hours. ($41.50)

I hope I was able to help you! :)
