Answer:

Given that the question rightly asks the amount it cost to drive from Smithville to Jones City, we have;

The question rightly asks the amount it cost to drive from Smithville to Jones City is approximately $7.209

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of Smithville is (-25, 10)

The coordinates of Jones City is (15, 12)

The cost of driving a car for a mile = $0.18

Therefore, the distance from Smithville to Jones City is given by the formula for the distance, l, between two points with coordinates as follows;

l = \sqrt{\left (y_{2}-y_{1}  \right )^{2}+\left (x_{2}-x_{1}  \right )^{2}}

Where;

(x₁, y₁) = (-25, 10) and (x₂, y₂) = (15, 12)

l = \sqrt{\left (12-10  \right )^{2}+\left (15-(-25)  \right )^{2}} = 2 \cdot \sqrt{401}

The distance from Smithville to Jones City = 2·√401 ≈ 40.05 miles

The amount, A, it cost to drive from Smithville to Jones City a distance of approximately 40.05 miles is therefore given as follows;

A = 40.05 miles × $0.18 ≈ $7.209

Suppose a family drives at an average rate of 60 mi/h on their way to visit relatives and then an average rate of 40 mi/h on the
hammer [34]

Answer:

Part A) 2 hours

Part B) d/60 hours

Part C) 48 miles/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A) Let "d" be the distance in miles the family traveled to visit their relatives. How many hours did it take to drive there?

we know that

Let

x ----> the time it take on their way to visit relatives in hours

y ---> the time it take on the way back in hours

we know that

The distance of the way to visit is equal to the distance of the way back

The speed multiplied by the time is equal to the distance

so

60x=40y -----> equation A

y=x+1 -----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A and solve for x

60x=40(x+1)

60x=40x+40

20x=40

x=2 hours

Find the value of y

y=2+1=3 hours

d=60x

The time it take on their way to visit relatives is 2 hours

The time it take on the way back is 3 hours

Part B) In terms of "d," how many hours did it take to drive there?

we have that

The distance is equal to the speed multiplied by the time

d=60x

Solve for x

x=d/60 hours

Part C) Write and solve an equation to determine the distance the family drove to see their relatives. What was the average rate for the entire trip?

To find the average rate for the whole trip we will need the total distance and the total time

The distance of the way to visit is

d=60x

substitute the value of x

d=60(2)=120 miles

so

The total distance is

120(2)=240 miles

we know that the total time is

2 + 3 =5 hours

The average rate for the complete trip is

240/5=48 miles/hour

Serggg [28]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The score of the student is  x = 779.42

Step-by-step explanation:

Generally we can mathematically represent the z-score as

         z =  \frac{x - Mean}{ stDev}

Here x is the score of the student

substituting 1045.7 for the Mean, 221.9 for the stDev and -1.2 for z we have  

          -1.2 =  \frac{x - 1045.7 }{ 221.9}

=>       -266.28 =  x -1045.7

=>     x  =  -266.28 + 1045.7

=>     x = 779.42
