Answer: 22

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting floor = x

Number of floors traveled = 4

Direction of travel = downward

Final destination = 18

Using the equation above, Taylor's original starting point or where she go is ;

x - 4 = 18

x = 18 + 4

x = 22

Therefore , Taylor originally entered into the elevator on the 22nd floor.

Three 24-hour clocks show the time to be 12 noon. One of the clocks is always correct one loses a minute every 24 hours and one
Ganezh [65]

There is one clock that shows the right time so we do not have to worry about the one which is always correct.

Talking about the second clock that loses a minutes in every 24 hours (or in a day), so after 60 days (since it has lost 60 minutes because it is losing 1 minute everyday) it will show 11:00 a.m when it is exactly the noon.

So this way, in total it will take 60\times 24=1440 days before it shows the correct noon.

Now, the third clock gains a minute every 24 hours (or in a day) , after 60 days (when it has gained 60 minutes or a complete hour) it will show 1:00 p.m when it is exactly the noon.

This way, it will take 60\times 24=1440 days (since it has gained a minute everyday) when it shows the correct noon.

Therefore, it will take 1440 days before all the three clocks show the correct time again.

Solution by Formulas

converting mixed numbers to fractions, our initial equation becomes,

−11 -9

3×4

Applying the fractions formula for multiplication,

−11×−9

3×4

=99

Lia must work at least 5 hours per week in her family’s restaurant for $8 per hour. She also does yard work for $12 per hour. Li
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

(a)

r\geq  5

r+y\leq 15

8r+12y\geq 120

y\geq 0

(c)Maximum number of hours Lia can work at the restaurant and still meet her earnings goal = 15 hours

(d)Maximum Earning = $160

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r be the number of hours worked at the restaurant.

Let y be the number of hours of yard work,

Lia must work at least 5 hours per week in her family’s restaurant for $8 per hour.

r\geq  5

Since she does yard work, y\geq 0

Lia’s parents allow her to work a maximum of 15 hours per week overall.

r+y\leq 15

Lia’s goal is to earn at least $120 per week.

The restaurant, r pays $8 per hour

Yard work, y pays $12 per hour.

Therefore:

8r+12y\geq 120

The system of inequalities that represent this problem is therefore:

r\geq  5

r+y\leq 15

8r+12y\geq 120

y\geq 0

(b)The graph of the inequality is attached below

(c)When the graph is plotted, the vertices of the feasible region are:

  • (5,10)
  • (5, 6.7)
  • (15,0)

Where the first term is for the number of hours worked in the restaurant.

The maximum value of r possible is 15 from the three points.

Therefore, she can work at the restaurant for 15 hours and still meet her earning goal.

(d)Maximum Amount Lia can earn in 1 Week

  • At (5,10), Earning=(5X8)+(10X12)=40+120=$160
  • At (5, 6.7), Earning=(5X8)+(6.7X12)=40+80.4=$120.4
  • At (15,0) Earning=(15X8)+(0X12)=$120

Since she has to work at least 5 hours at the restaurant, the maximum amount possible is $160.
