Switching to common denominators, alexa ran 18/24 of a mile. caleb ran 15/24 of a mile. for alexa’s distance, you would do (2•8)+(3•8). for caleb’s distance you would do (5•3)+(8•3). hope this helped!

Mrs. Adesso wants to take her class on a trip to either the science center or natural history museum. The science center charges
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

  25

Step-by-step explanation:

When we write expressions for the total cost of each field visit and set them equal, we find the solution to be the ratio of the difference in fixed cost to the difference in variable cost.

  y = 75 +7x . . . . . cost for x students to visit the science center

  y = 50 +8x . . . . cost for x students to visit the natural history museum

__

Subtracting the first equation from the second, we get ...

  0 = -25 +x

  25 = x . . . . . add 25; the number of students such that costs are equal

The cost will be the same either place for 25 students.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

Here, the fixed cost difference is 75-50=25, and the variable cost difference is 8-7=1. The ratio of these costs is ...

  $25/($1 /student) = 25 students.

This relationship only holds when the higher fixed cost is associated with the lower variable cost. Charges are such that one place caters to larger numbers of students (science center), and one prefers fewer students (natural history museum).

A closed box with a square base is to have a volume of 85. 75 cm^3. the material for the top and bottom of the box costs ​$3.00
tiny-mole [99]

We can create two equations here:

(1) Volume = area of square * height of box

85.75 = s^2 h

(2) Cost = 3 * area of square + 1.5 * area of side box

C = 3 s^2 + 1.5 s h

 

From (1), we get:

h = 85.75 / s^2

 

Combining this with (2):

C = 3 s^2 + 1.5 s (85.75 / s^2)

C = 3 s^2 + 128.625 s-

 

Taking the 1st derivative and equating dC/ds = 0:

dC/ds = 6s – 128.625 / s^2 = 0

Multiply all by s^2:

6s^3 – 128.625 = 0

6s^3 = 128.625

s = 2.78 cm

 

So h is:

h = 85.75 / s^2 = 85.75 / (2.78)^2

h = 11.10 cm

 

So the dimensions are 2.78 cm x 2.78 cm x 11.10 cm

 

The total cost now is:

C = 3 (2.78)^2 + 1.5 (2.78) (11.10)

C = $69.47

Swim team members can race or dive. At a meet, 18 members race. The ratio of racers to divers is 6 : 2. How many members are on
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Total number of members who race = 18

Ratio of racers to divers = 6 : 2

To find:

Total number of members of the team = ?

Solution:

Given the ratio = 6 : 2

As per the ratio given, we can let the number of racers = 6x

and

As per the ratio given, we can let the number of divers = 2x

As the swim team members can either race or dive, we can say that:

Total number of members on the team = Number of racers + Number of divers

Total number of members on the team = 6x+2x=8x

As per the question statement, we are given that:

6x=18\\\Rightarrow x =\dfrac{18}{6}\\\Rightarrow x =3

Therefore, total number of team members = 8 \times 3 = <em>24</em>
