840

Step-by-step explanation:

Last year, 800 students attended the career fair at West High School.

And, this year the number of students who attended the career fair increased by 5%.

We are asked how many students attended the career fair at West High School this year.

Therefore, the number of students attended the career fair at West High School will be $800[1+\frac{5}{100} ] =800 \times 1.05 = 840$ . (Answer)

Barbara drives between Miami, Florida and West Palm Beach, Florida. she drives 45 miles in clear weather and then encounters a t

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

Barbara's speed in clear weather is $60mph$ and in the thunderstorm is $38mph$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $v_1$ be the speed and $t_1$ be the time Barbara drives in clear weather, and let $v_2$ be the speed and $t_2$ be the time she drives in the thunderstorm.

Barbara drives 22 mph lower in the thunderstorm than in the clear weather; therefore,

(1). $v_2 = v_1 -22$

Also,

(2). $v_1t_1 = 45miles$

(3). $v_2 t_2 = 57$ ,

and

(4). $t_1+t_2 = 2.25hr$

From equations (2) and (3) we get:

$t_1 = \dfrac{45}{v_1}$

$t_2 =\dfrac{57}{v_2}$

putting these in equation (4) we get:

$\dfrac{45}{v_1}+\dfrac{57}{v_2}=2.25$

and substituting for $v_2$ from equation (1) we get:

$\dfrac{45}{v_1}+\dfrac{57}{v_1-22}=2.25$

This equation can be rewritten as

$2.25v_1^2-151.5v_1+990=0$

which has solutions

$v_1 = 60$

$v_1 = 7.33$

We take the first solution $v_1 =60$ because it gives a positive value for $v_2:$

$v_2 = v_1 -22$

$v_2 = 60 -22\\$

$v_2 = 38$ .

Thus, Barbara's speed in clear weather is $60mph$ and in the thunderstorm is $38mph$ .

Which statement is true? A. In any right triangle, the sine of one acute angle is equal to the cosine of the other acute angle.

mr Goodwill [35]

That would be choice 2. One acute angle is the complement of the other

eg in a 90-60-30 triangle sine 30 = cos 60

A deck of cards contains RED cards numbered 1,2,3 and BLUE cards numbered 1,2,3,4,5,6. Let R be the event of drawing a red card,

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

e. R′

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the Sample Space be a universal set consisting of 3 red and 6 blue cards. Then the event of of getting 4 blue cards will be given

R complement = R` = Universal Set minus Red cards will give blue cards.

a. R OR O

It cannot be this option because we need 4 blue card

b. B AND O

It cannot be this choice as well because 4 is not odd.

c. R OR E

4 is even but we need blue

d. R AND O

Red and odd is again not required

e. R′ = It will give our required result.

f. E′= 4 is even if it is complemented it cannot be obtained and will be left out.
