Jamie is hiking up a small mountain. He climbs up at a constant rate of 300 feet/hour until he reaches the peak at 1,500 feet. A

fter that, he hikes down at the same rate to the base of the mountain. The equation that can be used to find the number of hours, t, after which Jamie’s distance from the peak will be 900 feet is -blank-. Jamie will be 900 feet from the peak after -blank- hours and after -blank- hours.

Answer:

a. d = 1500 - 300t. b. after 2 hours and after 4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Since Jamie hikes up the mountain at a rate of 300 ft/hr, and the mountain is 1500 ft high, his distance, d from the peak of the mountain at any given time,t  is given by

d = 1500 - 300t.

b.If Jamie distance d = 900 ft, then the equation becomes,

900 = 1500 - 300t

900 - 1500 = -300t

-600 = -300t

t = -600/-300

t = 2 hours

The equation d = 1500 - 300t. also models his distance from the peak of the  mountain if he hikes down at a constant rate of 300 ft/hr

At d = 900 ft, the equation becomes

900 = 1500 - 300t

900 - 1500 = -300t

-600 = -300t

t = -600/-300

t = 2 hours

So, on his hike down the mountain, it takes him another 2 hours to be 900 ft from the peak of the mountain.

So, he is at 900 ft on his hike down after his start of hiking up the mountain at time t = (2 + 2) hours = 4 hours. Since it takes 2 hours to climb to the peak of he mountain and another 2 hours to climb down 900 ft from the peak of the mountain.

You just need to use your test-taking skill to eliminate the wrong answers here.

There is no such thing as a "Congruent Angles Postulate," so the last two choices can be eliminated.

The AA Similarity Postulate refers to triangles, not angles, so the second choice can be eliminated.

That only leaves the (correct) first choice.

The circumference of a pizza is 56.52 in. One-fourth of the pizza has been eaten the area of the remaining pizza in sq. Inches r
BabaBlast [244]
Circumference = πD
πD = 56.52
D = 17.99 in

Area of the pizza = π (17.99 ÷ 2)²  = 254.19 in²

Area of the pizza eaten = 254.19 ÷ 4 = 63.55 in²

Area of the pizza remain = 254.19 - 63.55 = 190.64 in²

Answer: 190.64 in²

Supposed original quantity is 179 five and the new quantity is 126. Write an expression that represents the percent change. Find
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

This is a -29.6% change

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent change, use the percent change equation.

(New - Old)/(Old) * 100 = Percent Change

(126 - 179)/(179) * 100 = Percent Change

-53/179 * 100 = Percent Change

-.296 * 100 = Percent Change

-29.6% = Percent Change
