Easton is deciding between two landscaping companies for his place of business. Company A charges $25 per hour and a $150 equipm

ent fee. Company B charges $35 per hour and a $100 equipment fee. Let AA represent the amount Company A would charge for tt hours of landscaping, and let BB represent the amount Company B would charge for tt hours of landscaping. Write an equation for each situation, in terms of t,t, and determine the number hours, t,t, that would make the cost of each company the same.

Answer:

5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Company A:

Charge for an hour =$ 25

Charge for 't' hours = 25 *t = 25t

Total cost = Equipment fee + charge for t hours

  AA = 150 + 25t

Company B:

Charge for an hour =$ 35

Charge for 't' hours = 35 *t = 35t

Total cost = Equipment fee + charge for t hours

  BB = 100 + 35t

BB = AA

100 + 35t = 150 + 25t

Subtract 25t from both sides

100 + 35t - 25t = 150

           100 +  10t = 150

Subtract 100 from both sides

10t = 150 - 100

10t = 50

Divide both sides by 10

t = 50/10

t = 5

It takes 1 1/2 cups of flour, 1 1/4 cups of sugar, and 1/2 cup of butter to bake fifteen shortbread cookies. If Ramon has 5 cups
Stolb23 [73]
Short answer 48 cookies
Remark

This is an extremely valuable question if you are going to take chemistry at some point. You have to calculate all three to see what the limiting ingredient is.

Flour
Assuming that all of the flour will be used, you set up a proportion to find out how many cookies will be produced.

1.5 cups of flour / 15 cookies = 5 cups of flour / x     Cross multiply
1.5 x  = 15 * 5
1.5 x = 75                       Divide by 1.5
x = 75/1.5
x = 50                             cookies are possible

Sugar
Now you must do the same thing with the sugar
1.25 pounds sugar/15 cookies = 4 / x      Cross multiply
1.25 x = 4 * 15
1.25 x = 60                         Divide both sides by 1.25
x = 60/1.25                     
x = 48               cookies possible with 4 pounds of sugar.

Butter
0.5 pounds of butter/15 cookies = 1.75 pounds of butter /x   Cross Multiply
0.5 * x = 15 * 1.75
0.5 * x = 26.25       Divide by 0.5
x = 26.25 / 0.5
x = 52.5                  Cookies.

Conclusion
The limiting ingredient is the sugar. You can only make 48 cookies with that amount of sugar. 

So you will have left over flower. You will have left over butter (even if you round down). But you will use all your sugar. It is the least amount.

The angle of elevation to the top of a 15-story skyscraper is measured to be 4from a point on the ground 2,500 feet from the bui
alexandr1967 [171]

The point of observation is 2500 m away from the foot of the building.

The angle of elevation is 4°.

We need to find the height 'h' of the building.

With respect to 4°,

2500 is the adjacent side.

'h' is the opposite side.

The trigonometric ratio associating opposite & adjacent is tan.

We have

tan\theta =\frac{opposite}{adjacent}

tan4^{o}=\frac{h}{2500}

Cross multiplying we get

h = 2500 tan4°

h= 174.82 m

Option B) is the right answer.
