Answer:

The rate is $r = \frac{442}{17} = 26$

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate, in cents per minute, is given by the multiplication of the how much you paid by 100 and divided by the number of minutes.

The multiplication by 100 happens because the cost is in dollars, and each dollar has 100 cents. So

$r = \frac{100*4.42}{17} = \frac{442}{17} = 26$

n200080 [17]

Answer:

The number of pies does the baker have left is 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A baker made 20 pies. A Boy Scout troop buys one–fourth of his pies, a preschool teacher buys one–third of his pies, and a caterer buys one–sixth of his pies.

To find : How many pies does the baker have left?

Solution :

Let x be the number of pies does the baker have left.

According to question,

Number of pies buys,

One-fourth = $\frac{1}{4}$

One-third = $\frac{1}{3}$

One-sixth = $\frac{1}{6}$

i.e. $x=20-(20\times \frac{1}{4}+20\times \frac{1}{3}+20\times \frac{1}{6})$

$x=20-(5+20\times \frac{1}{3}+10\times \frac{1}{3})$

$x=20-(5+\frac{20+10}{3})$

$x=20-(5+ \frac{30}{3})$

$x=20-(5+10)$

$x=20-(15)$

$x=5$

The number of pies does the baker have left is 15.

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

-2x+25 D

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how far it will go in an unspecified number of hours, we can let t = time in hours. The letter t will be our variable. Assuming that the car travels at the same speed, we can state that the rate is 55, and that will be our constant. The expression would then be:

Distance of car traveled in t hours, which we can denote as D(t) = 55 x t = 55t

This means that D is a function of t, and D represents the total distance traveled in t hours.
